Ski Neck Gaiters
Stay Cosy with a Ski Neck Gaiter
Ski neck gaiters, also referred to as neck warmers, offer protection for your neck and face against cold weather conditions. Positioned around your neck, they ensure it is shielded from the elements and provide some defence against UV rays. There is a wide variety of ski gaiters available, allowing you to select a style that solely shields the neck or one that also covers the mouth and lower face.
The most suitable neck gaiter for skiing largely depends on your preferred style and the conditions you will encounter. Nonetheless, there are essential features to consider. Ski neck warmers should be lightweight and breathable so they do not impede your performance, yet moisture-wicking to retain warmth. Consequently, many skiers opt for gaiters crafted from merino wool or polyester.
If you are expecting extremely cold conditions and prioritise warmth, then select a gaiter made from thicker materials. However, if your concern is excessive sweating, opt for a thinner model made from materials such as nylon or polyester.
Alternatively, you might consider using a balaclava, which will cover your neck while also protecting your face, leaving only a small opening around your eyes. To view our collection of balaclavas and hats suitable for skiing, visit our Ski Hats & Balaclavas category.
