The fleece lining is what makes this different from a basic knit neck tube. It looks warm enough for standing around outdoors on cold mornings without needing a bulky scarf.
Fleece-Lined Neck Gaiter - Knit Winter Neck Warmer
Black
$34.95
Knit outside.
Fleece inside.
A ribbed knit neck gaiter lined with plush fleece that traps heat against your neck. It stays put when you move, and pulls up over your chin when the wind picks up.
“I already have a scarf for that.”
Most people do. And most mornings it works loose at the collar, getting rewrapped every few blocks while the wind finds the gap. The thin gaiter in the drawer stays put, but it's a single layer: it covers the gap, not the cold. This one is a seamless ribbed knit tube with a plush fleece lining, so it holds heat against your neck, stays where you put it, and pulls up over your chin when you need it.
Great neck gaiter. The fleece lining makes it noticeably warmer than unlined versions. Stays put during activity.
Six reasons to retire the scarf
Fleece where the cold gets in
The inside is lined with plush fleece that traps heat against your neck. A single-layer knit gaiter covers the gap at your collar. This one warms it too.
Stays put when you move
The seamless stretch knit tube holds its place on the run, on the commute, on the walk to the car. No loose ends to rewrap, nothing slipping down.
Pulls up when the wind does
When the wind picks up, pull it up over your chin and lower face. It stays there without adjusting, so one piece covers both positions and the separate face mask stays at home.
No zip, no snap, no button
There's nothing to fasten and nothing to fiddle with. It slips on over your head in one motion and comes off just as fast.
Flat under any collar
It sits flat under a jacket collar instead of bunching up like a wrapped scarf. Warmed up? It folds into a jacket pocket.
One size, nothing to measure
The stretch ribbed knit fits all adult neck and head sizes, men and women. Five colors to choose from, so it works over a work jacket, a running kit or a good coat.
Three numbers that tell the story

0 fasteners
No zip, no snap, no button. It goes on over your head in one motion and comes off just as fast.
1 size
Stretch ribbed knit that fits all adult neck and head sizes. Nothing to measure, nothing to get wrong.

Got a thin gaiter you like? Keep it for the milder days. This one is for the cold ones it can't handle.
The gap between collar and chin.
It's where the zip ends and nothing stands between the wind and your skin. A scarf works loose, a thin gaiter only covers it. Here's what people say once that gap is lined with fleece.
Use this under my hunting jacket collar. Fills the gap and keeps the wind out. Small piece of gear that makes a big difference.
Simple but effective. Wear this for winter running and it keeps the cold air out. Can pull it up over your chin easily.
Bought one for myself and one for my husband. Great quality and really warm. Would definitely buy again.

Why it's warmer than it looks
From the outside it looks like any ribbed knit neck gaiter. The difference is what's inside and how it's made, and it comes down to three parts:
- Ribbed knit shell The stretch knit outside holds its place when you move and fits all adult neck and head sizes.
- Plush fleece lining Lines the inside and traps heat against your skin. It's the layer a single-layer gaiter doesn't have.
- Seamless tube, no fasteners No zip, snap or button. It slips on over your head, pulls up over your chin and sits flat under a collar.
One thing worth saying: the fleece holds real heat, so this is a cold-weather piece. On a hard uphill or anything above 40°F, pull it back down to your neck.

Good questions
Is it actually warmer than a regular gaiter?
Yes, and that's the point of it. A regular knit gaiter is a single layer. This one has a plush fleece lining inside the ribbed knit that traps heat against your neck.
Will it stay up when I'm moving?
It's a seamless stretch knit tube, so it stays in place during movement without slipping or adjusting. Pull it up over your chin and it stays there too.
What size do I need?
There's one size. The stretch ribbed knit fits all adult neck and head sizes, for men and women, so there's nothing to measure.
Does it cover my face?
It pulls up from your neck to cover your chin and lower face when the wind picks up. It's a neck gaiter, not a balaclava, so it doesn't cover your head or ears.
Will it be too warm on a run?
It can be, and we'd rather say so. The fleece holds real heat, so this is a cold-weather piece. On a hard uphill or anything above 40°F, pull it back down to your neck or fold it into a jacket pocket.
Is it bulky under a jacket?
No. It sits flat under any jacket collar, without the knots and loose ends of a wrapped scarf. It also folds small enough for a jacket pocket.
Is it windproof?
We don't sell it as windproof. What it does: it pulls up to shield your chin and lower face from the wind, with a fleece lining that traps heat underneath.
Which color should I pick?
Five to choose from: Black, Khaki, Gray, Navy Blue and Wine Red. Same build in all five, so pick the one that goes with the jacket you wear most.
How does shipping work?
Standard shipping is free on every order. Every order comes with a tracking number, live within 24 to 48 hours of dispatch.
