This SUNMECI neck gaiter is a lifesaver in the cold. It's thick, soft, and provides excellent protection against the wind. I wear it during my early morning walks or even in my drafty office when I'm deep into a coding project. It's breathable and doesn't get too hot. Very durable and washes well. A solid 5-star accessory for any winter gear collection. Read more
This is great. I wear it every day now. Warm and comfortable. Read more
took this neck gaiter for its maiden voyage camping over the weekend. i had stupidly forgotten a coat, and it was nice to have this neck gaiter along to at least keep that part of me warm. it's a bit snug, and i jokingly remarked that wearing it is a little like fighting a boa constrictor. i do not have a huge neck (collar size 17 to 17-1/2), so if yours is pretty stout, i don't think this neck gaiter is going to be your friend. on first washing (by hand in hot soapy water), it shed a lot of fuzz and dye, and afterwards has been fine. i have not dared to machine-dry it, and only squeeze it out and hang dry. it had a bit of an odor (presumably dye) that disappeared after that first handwashing. the fuzz side is comfortable and not scratchy or itchy in any way. it doesn't attack beard hairs. the outside does seem to be fairly wind-resistant. i can't speak for 'windproof' but it is far better than a traditional fleece layer. it is long enough to be pulled up over some or all of one's face for great warmth and protection, thus bringing the boa constrictor fight to other parts of your upper anatomy. i used it at night to keep my arms and hands warm, and it was quite enjoyable in that capacity. i did not try wearing it as a makeshift cap, but i suspect it could do that if needed. if this gaiter were a little larger around, i wouldn't hesitate to give it a five-star. as it is, if you have a slim neck, you'll probably really love it.

I love this item! A few descriptors, compliments, compaints: - *Not* all cotton, in spite of the description. 65% Polysester (a great choice), 30% cotton, 5% spandex. - One question-answerer said smooth on on side, rougher on the other ? Not so. It's: VERY smooth on the outside - - practically luxurious. The inside is between the smoothness of the outside and the pillow-y loose weave (hard to describe) of the inside of a hoody. - Once again...super smooth outisde...so nice. - I wish the gaiter opened up more on the bottom. It feels a little snug. not quite like I'm being choked, but snug and tending towards that. My neck muscles are more sensitive to this than most people's, I think. - I tugged the material out and pulled it forward so it was stretch out more towards the front of my neck, and less towards the back, I suppose. This made it ok. This is NOT a deal-breaker, and should prevent NO ONE from buying this awesome product. But would like to see it improved. Certainly tugging is a good idea. FWIW I am 5'9" and of average build but slightly higher neck size. Others may not notice this issue. -- I consider this product VERY GOOD or EXCELLENT for the price, but I would rate it the same at ANY price. And what, would this be like $10, 12, 15, maybe even $20 in a store depending on whether a drug store or department store? This item is great, and at a fabulous price. - The item is truly black. Appreciated. And one looks good in it. - Branding is subtle and actually kind of cool. There is a smal, perhaps 3/4 " orange square of cloth at the bottom of the gaiter, with modestly-sized black letters sewn onto it - 'SUNMECI'. Very tiny, adds a tinyand welcome touch of flair without being obvious at all. Plus, at bottom of neck, will hardly be noticed any way. You could clip it off if you wanted to, I suppose. - I am confident that it will keep my easily-cooled neck warm but not hot. I love the item...5 stars ! - Phil the pretty good reviewer. Read more
These are super warm, perfect for the snow. And if it gets too hot you can fold it so the outside part is touching your neck. It did what it needed, would recommend. Read more
I bought this for my father because he's not a fan of wearing scarfs. He loved it and uses it daily. The material is extremely soft both on the inside and outside. I tried it on (I am 5'5" with a small build) and I was able to stretch it past my eyes and the fit still held well. It didn't start to fall down or feel loose. I started to feel warm after only 5 minutes. This is great for when temperatures hit single digits. It is a snug fit but I think that's to help trap in any heat. My father (6'0" with an average build) was able to stretch the face mask from his neck to just below his eye level. It easily and comfortably covers his neck. The price is definitely worth it Read more
