That looks like a good one. Quite versatile. When the temps are below zero Fahrenheit here, I like to wear a neck gaiter when I'm riding the snowmachine very far. The wind chill on top of the cold temp can be painfully cold on exposed skin.
@MarkYoungBushcraft6 жыл бұрын
I agree Lonnie. We rarely get real cold temps here but the wind can be strong and there is a lot of moisture in the air being next to the ocean. That makes it feel even colder. Thanks for commenting

@@MarkYoungBushcraft 100% on the neck gaiter and the importance of one. Great overview of them and I liked how you also made your own (that's how I roll too, ;-) Ironically, I JUST ordered a WeatherWool neck gaiter and watch cap last week. I hope yours is still going strong and you still use it regularly. Have a great day!

@@MarkYoungBushcraft I love the feel of the gaiter, you really cant tell that it is wool, it is the softest wool out there. It has been on the teens the last few days and I can already tell this will be something I wont be leaving the house without it. The warmth is amazing too.
@dimitrifortounis47876 жыл бұрын
Totally agree with you 🙂 I have a 4.5 tog rated synthetic neck gaiter for winter and it's worth every penny. Just recently became introduced to buffs too. The interesting thing I've noticed for cooler weather is how much using a buff on my wrist or both wrists (almost looks like a hair scrunchy) actually helps maintain body heat too. Thanks for another great video.
@MarkYoungBushcraft6 жыл бұрын
Good point. I have made a few wrist warmers from wool socks and the left overs from wool sweaters. They are just right for cool weather where I need the warmth but still want finger dexterity. Thanks for commenting

Looks great, but still has one problem for me. It is still made from wool to which I am violently allergic to the lanolin in. which is the part of it that really keeps it warm. I have found the alpacas wool does not contain lanolin and is just as warm, but much harder to find.

I agree on merino wool. Also does not shrink. Strangely, no washing instructions. At least on the tag. If there was with the package I failed to save it. This is on their website "Machine washable and dryable (don't do this with our woven products!!)" Hope this helps
