A neck gaiter in merino wool, or neck warmer, is one of the most versatile and comfortable garments you can pack. When you head out into nature to face the elements, it’s extremely important to stay warm as darkness falls and/or winter rages. Your neck and head are some of the areas where you lose most of your body heat. It’s not just uncomfortable, it’s downright dangerous. The neck gaiter not only provides insulation for your neck or head – it can handle both tasks at the same time, depending on your needs. The neck gaiters we offer at Survivalstore come, among others, from the manufacturer Buff, made from merino wool.
Get optimal insulation for your head and neck with a neck gaiter
The neck gaiter is designed as a stretchy tube without any seams. The ones we carry are made from thin merino wool and are easy to pull over your head and down around your neck. But that’s just the beginning! You can quickly pull it up over your chin and nose if the cold is biting, gather it into a headband, or wear it as a stylish hat. And there’s more. The neck gaiter can also be worn as a balaclava, used as a hair tie, or with a little simple folding transformed into a closed multi-layer hat/beanie. Only your creativity sets the limit, and your neck gaiter will quickly become one of your best tools for retaining heat. And you’ll look great at the same time!
A neck gaiter in merino wool offers the best comfort
Merino wool comes from merino sheep. It’s a natural material you should get to know if you’re interested in outdoor life and bushcraft. As a material, it provides natural temperature regulation, keeping you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s warm. This means a neck gaiter in merino wool can and should be a permanent part of your gear all year round. You’ll find that the material can absorb significant amounts of sweat before it feels wet. At the same time, you avoid sweat odor because the sweat is transported away from the skin and therefore away from the bacteria that cause unpleasant smells. Merino wool is also both water- and dirt-repellent, qualities we both know are game changers, making Buff’s neck gaiters some of the most suitable for outdoor enthusiasts like you and me.
Buff Neck Gaiters and Neck Warmers
The original Buff gives you both the most authentic and highest quality neck gaiters. The name Buff comes from the Spanish word bufanda, which means scarf. Their product is already used by numerous athletes, and awareness of Buff is steadily growing – and rightly so. The design is ingenious and made in such a way that it has not a single seam. It’s highly stretchy, and the thin material provides extra flexibility so you can adjust your neck gaiter according to the temperature around you. Simply fold it over itself a few times, and you end up with a 6-layer hat that will definitely keep your ears warm in the Danish winter cold.
