Neckwarmers
What is a Neck Warmer?
A neck warmer is a type of scarf you can pull over your head to keep your neck warm, which is why it’s sometimes called a "gaiter." Most neck warmers are highly flexible, making them a one-size-fits-most accessory. Many also feature a drawstring, allowing you to adjust the fit perfectly and ensuring that no cold air reaches your neck. This makes neck warmers ideal not only for winter sports but also for chilly days at home.
Why Use a Neck Warmer?
The main advantage of a neck warmer is that it prevents cold air from entering your neck—and therefore your jacket! By wearing a neck warmer, you not only keep your neck warm but also help protect the rest of your body from the cold. Being cold can make you more susceptible to infections, so a neck warmer may even help reduce your chances of catching a cold or the flu.
Compared to a traditional scarf, neck warmers have several benefits. For instance, you can pull them up high to keep your nose and mouth warm. They’re also lightweight and flexible, so you can wear one without compromising the fit of your jacket. This helps retain body heat and keeps the cold at bay!
Tips
Feeling a bit too warm? No problem—a neck warmer easily fits into your jacket pocket!
Because many neck warmers have a drawstring, they can double as a hat. Just pull the drawstring tight to close one end of the neck warmer, and you’re ready to go.
