Neck Gaiter

$125
ColorTrue Black
Description

Neck Gaiters are now in production ($USD $125) and we expect to ship in November.  Website is accepting payment now.

We're offering the Neck Gaiters in four colors:

  • True Black
  • Classic Brown
  • Drab Green
  • Natural White

No Neck Gaiters in stock now.

As always, 100% American and 100% Wool.

Our Neck Gaiter is a Scarf, a Gaiter, a Balaclava, Voyageur-Style Toque, Watch Cap and Leg- or Arm-Warmer in one. The knitting enables the Gaiter to stretch to whatever size is needed, without squeezing, but at the same time the Gaiter still springs back to its original size and shape when taken off.  It is significant that the "spring" of the Gaiter causes it to protect the entire neck and not collapse and just sort of pile-up at the bottom of the neck.

Neck Gaiters are knitted, not woven, and therefore (except for the Reversible Watch Cap) very different from our other products, from the beginning of the product cycle through completion.

The Wool:

  • 100% American
  • Fine 19.5 micron (19.5 millionths of a meter)
  • Two-ply, worsted yarn
  • Non-Superwashed
  • 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool
  • Note that the sourcing and processing of our wovens products are separate and different, and the resulting yarns and products have important differences.

Features:

  • The Gaiter is a tube that measures 42 inches by 9.5 inches (107 cm by 24 cm) when laid out flat. Of course, it would be twice as wide if it were not a tube. So there is quite a bit of wool
  • The Knit technique maximizes dead air space (insulation), stretch and spring, without any synthetic elastic
  • Opened ends for 6 inches at top and bottom of tube for more chest coverage when doubled as a Gaiter or balaclava
  • Hand washable and dryable.  These gaiters are made from non-superwashed wool.
  • The Gaiter is compressible and easily packed

 

Off Label Uses:

  • One through-hiker showed us how to turn the Gaiter into a Voyageur-style Toque
  • Some more off-label uses, from another long-term Military Vet and outdoorsman: pillow; seat cushion (better than a cold rock!); foot warmers; handwarmers; bath towel (I don't understand that one, because the Gaiter won't absorb water the way a towel should)
  • Here are another couple of uses from a USMC Vet (THANKS, TJ!): "Good morning y'all and happy Saturday!! I am out camping and found another use for the neck gaiter! Works great to wrap a dehydrated meal bag in as you let it rehydrate for 20 mins ! And wow is it still piping hot after 40 mins wrap up." TJ also told us the Gaiters help keep drinks cold
  • Tim L from North Carolina pointed out that one layer of the Gaiter makes serviceable sunglasses! Also, the amount of light filtered out by the wool can be adjusted by stretching the Gaiter more, or less. THANKS TIM!!
  • Callie Russell, contestant on History Channel's ALONE survival competition, told us the Gaiter can also be used as a kidney warmer and as a skirt!

The Neck Gaiters weigh 6.6 ounces (190 grams)

  • If you would like to make the gaiter smaller or to fit more snugly, wash the gaiter very gently by hand and dry flat.  This process can be repeated
  • Please click here for more pictures and details about our knitted items and components ... Gaiters and Watch Caps, plus the Cuffs of our Hooded Jackets
  • Our Neck Gaiters are knitted by Tailored Industry of Brooklyn, New York. Their Whole Garment® Shima Seiki knitting machines create a seamless 3D knit with a very clean finish. These leading-edge knitting machines, when production is really properly tuned, virtually eliminate waste through their pull-based system, creating less than 1% excess material during the production of each Gaiter.  

Neck Gaiter Reviews (sent to us before the Review feature below was added).  All these older reviews refer to Gaiters made with superwashed wool.  We are eliminating from our processing and our garments as many industrial and unnatural chemicals as possible.

Our Fabric

Our 100% American, 100% Wool Fabrics, made from 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool, are the foundation of our company. Making our own Fabric is time-consuming, difficult and expensive. But for us, there is no other way.

FAQ

Where is it made?

All of our products are 100% made in the USA using 100% American-made wool and materials. We pay American citizens to make all of our garments. See more.

Is WeatherWool in retail stores?

No, it is only available directly through this Website.

What are your garments designed for?

We set out to make the best All-Purpose outerwear possible and we take that "ALL" part seriously. While some items may be better then others for specific needs we like to think we have the perfect garment for anything you do outside regardless if it is in the serving in military, hunting, camping, city, country, work or worship.

Why is it so expensive?

We never cut a single corner at any step. We make our own fabric, from the best wool in the USA. There are over 45 steps in making our fabric alone. We use the highest quality materials made in the USA. We have owner operated customer service on call to serve you and offer free shipping in USA and Canada as well as hassle free returns.

Is WeatherWool Merino Wool?

Not exactly. Merino is great wool and has been very well marketed over the years but pure merino alone is not actually suitable for us.

We select our wool based on a number of characteristics including micron, strength, length, and comfort factor. With the help of our advisor Bob Padula we have determined the perfect recipe for our goals. Thanks to modern equipment we can test all the wool before we buy it and that wool is primarily coming from Rambouillet and Targhee breeds.

How do you clean WeatherWool

Short answer, you almost never need to. It's self cleaning. We've had garments we've worn for 7 years that have never been cleaned other then some rain.

However, things happen. If a lukewarm bath and dry flat doesn't do the trick, you can try wool-cleaner. Our full cleaning page is here.

Can bugs bite through your fabric?

We have not heard of any that can.

What is your customer service policy?

Our customers will be taken care of.

Full Customer Service policy can be found here.

About us

Founders / Owners

WeatherWool was founded in 2009 by Ralph and Debby DiMeo. Together with their children and a few friends they maintain 100% ownership of the company. Their full story can be read here.

Direct Connection To The Source

We make our own Fabric, starting with raw wool carefully and specifically selected from a small group of ranches in the USA that meet our certification standards. This isn't no stock photo. We're actually out there during shearing sampling wool and sharing stoies and good times with the ranchers and their families.

The Best We Can Figure Out

While most companies decide a price point, and reverse engineer a garment to meet that retail price, WeatherWool does the opposite. We make the best garment we can figure out how to make at every decision we face.Although our garments seem pricey to some our profit margins are below average and you're getting more value for your money and assurance that you're getting some of the best wool in the world.

Camping favorite

This is one of my favorite goto camping items. When it starts to get chilly, putting on my WeatherWool knit hat and this gaiter keeps me toasty. When the Temps really drop and this is paired up with the Anorak...I haven't found anything that comes close to matching the combo.

I normally use this year round when camping as part of my sleep gear, I don't feel overheated and it keeps me snug.

I highly recommend this item.
