| Arc'teryx Neck Gaitor |
|
When the weather starts to turn cold I start to bundle up. There is one piece of gear that I never leave home without - a neck gaitor. You already know the benefits of wrapping up with a scarf - it protects and insulates your carotid arteries, where we lose a lot of body heat. Don't get me wrong - a scarf is nice, as is a full balaclava, but the neck gaitor fits right in between. I always feel like I should rob a bank or bust out some super sweet ninja moves when wearing a balaclava. With the neck gaitor - I can either wear it down, just protecting my neck, or I can pull it up over my nose for additional protection (and with a beanie - it makes a balaclava . . .) Made of merino wool and spandex - it is both warm and easy to breath through when pulled up. With a low profile and only 55 grams - it's easy to smash down in the outside pocket of my back pack, or my softshell. Lately - I have found it is perfect for cycling - helping to take the chill out of the air that gets past the top of my jacket. At $25 its easy to grab a couple and store them in different jackets.
