Women's Scarves & Neck Warmers
Natural and Synthetic Materials
Certain materials have properties that make them great for certain types of weather and temperatures. Scarves and heavier gaiters are generally preferred for colder or windier weather, while other gaiters may be useful for cooler temperatures and bright sun.UPF ratings let you know how much UV radiation certain materials absorb and shield the wearer from, although garments with these specific ratings are often thinner and stretchier than others. Merino wool is a great choice of material for damp and cold weather, and fleece is often preferred for colder commutes without too much snow or ice, as this likes to absorb moisture.
Often synthetic and natural materials will be mixed to provide that perfect blend of... durability and performance. From commuting to extreme winter sports, neckwear can be more than just a fashion statement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What style of neck warmer should I buy?
It depends on what you do while you’re wearing it. A scarf is pleasant for a short commute, while a full-length gaiter helps the best in very cold conditions, as it can be pulled up over your nose and mouth.
What size neck gaiter do I need?
Most neck gaiters are one size fits all. Occasionally you might find those that specify lengths, however, most average about 24 inches long. The material is a more pertinent concern, as some gaiters are made from wool.
How do I care for merino wool?
Do not wash with wool detergent, the enzymes in wool detergent may be too harsh for merino wool. Hand Wash in cold water with gentle detergent and line-dry. Consult care instructions on the tag always.
