Ski Neck Gaiters

Stay Cosy With a Ski Neck Gaiter

Ski neck gaiters, sometimes referred to as neck warmers, shield your neck and face from cold weather conditions. Positioned comfortably around your neck, they ensure protection from the elements and can also offer defence against UV rays. With a huge variety of ski gaiters to select from, you can choose between styles that solely protect the neck or those offering additional coverage for the mouth and lower face.

The ideal neck gaiter for skiing is dependent on your style preference and the conditions you’ll encounter. Nonetheless, essential features to consider include a lightweight and breathable fabric that won't interfere with your performance. Additionally, opting for a moisture-wicking material ensures warmth. Consequently, many skiers prefer gaiters crafted from merino wool or polyester.

If you expect to face the chilliest conditions with a focus on staying warm, opt for a gaiter made from thicker materials. Conversely, if your priority is managing perspiration, a thinner option in materials like nylon or polyester is recommended.

An alternative is to wear a balaclava, providing neck coverage and protecting your face while leaving only a small opening for your eyes. To explore our variety of balaclavas and skiing hats, visit our Ski Hats & Balaclavas category.
