WeatherWool Neck Gaiter

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

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.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

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!

[@Hangs4Fun]

Fancy seeing you here Lonnie :-) I hope you and Connie are well and safe. Have a great day!

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

@@Hangs4Fun Yes we are doing well, thank you. I have been a fan of Marks channel here for quite a while.

I have several pieces of gear from weather wool. Their watch cap is by far the best that I have ever found. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Good sound advice, I wouldn't be without mine albeit a cheep neck warmer from the Dollar store. Like you pointed out, mine is only a neck warmer but the weatherwool neck gaiter has so many uses. Thanks for sharing Mark, atb, Paul.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Even the cheap ones are useful but if you can afford the good one you won't be disappointed. Thanks for commenting Paul

I believe we're both old enough to remember "Dickies" from the 1970's. Once had a wealthy man explain to me in my youth "Quality you pay for once. Cheap, you keep buying." I now appreciate that wisdom. Cheers from New Orleans

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I certainly do remember the "Dickies"😀 . In fact they were part of my uniform issue as an option to a tie during the winter. I like the saying. I have also heard "cry once and enjoy for ever" said about cost. Thanks for commenting

[@Hangs4Fun]

"Buy once, cry once" :-)

My wife is an avid knitter, I asked her if she could make one, she told me just the wool would be 65$ Cdn. The you got to do it right, the first time.. You mentioned 2 can be used to as leg warmers but for arms too as the Weatherwool site suggests.... as always Thanks Mark

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Good to know John. My daughter was going to knit me one before she moved away. I would have loved it but now maybe I can get her to knit me a toque. Arm warmers for sure. Thanks for commenting

[@williamcappalonga1669]

Great review. I always use something to cover my neck, it makes a huge difference in regulating my heat, while being outside. I have one of these on the way and am looking forward to trying all these different set ups

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad you liked the video. You won't be disappointed with the product. Let me know how it works out for you. Thanks for commenting

[@williamcappalonga1669]

@@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.

[@dimitrifortounis4787]

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.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

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

[@pederhalverson2591]

WeatherWool is fantastic! Pricey, but you get what you pay for. Living in Wisconsin I get a lot of open, frigid, unforgiving cold & even though it’s apparently warm weather time I could tell in a millisecond it’s top notch stuff 🇺🇸👌🏻

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Without question WeeatherWool is the highest quality wool clothing on the market. It is pricey compared with other brands but as you say, you get what you pay for. Thank you for commenting

[@brucematys6064]

I always use one, mines polar fleece. Definitely going to look into this one. Thanks. Mark great video!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

The polar fleece one I made works well enough but it just does not compare to a good wool one like this WeatherWool version. Thanks for commenting

[@pamdarsow9721]

I got a soft wool one for my son. They are very nice and warm. The fleece one looks nice

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I am sure he will appreciate it. The fleece is nice but soft wool is even nicer. Thanks for commenting

[@terryw.milburn8565]

Sure is a welcome addition to the winter, Mark Thanks For Sharing ATB T God Bless

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Hey Terry. a good neck gaiter can really make a difference on a cold day. Thanks for commenting

[@steamboatmodel]

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.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Your wool allergy is unfortunate. Interesting that alpaca works. I have felt it and know how soft and light it is. Will have to check out outdoor products made from it. Thanks for commenting

[@VS-TheWorld]

Still a fantastic review! Thanks again Sir!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting

[@randal1470]

Mmmmm, fuzzy warm wool, great vid, never used one before but I think I have to give a gaiter a try.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Warm and fuzzy is good.

[@joelaut12]

Mark great review of ways to cover your neck! The product is pricy though. Suggestion: just double up on your handmade from sweater gaiter and you should be ok for A Lot less.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Great suggestion on doubling up the wool sweater. I like making my own gear but not everyone does. Thanks for commenting

@@MarkYoungBushcraft Another item to add to my "Generous Santa List" for 2022.

[@tallcedars2310]

Merino wool is the best for next to the skin, it does't itch most people like coarser wool. Love the gaiter, will check out the site. Did the item come with washing instructions? Thanks Mark!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

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

[@WeatherWool]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft Thanks Mark ... YES ... knits and wovens are completely different animals. The Gaiter can be washed as stated but isn't going to need much cleaning anyway ... that's the nature of wool.

Hello Mark. This is a great video. Very informative and helpful. I would like not ask you how big your Shemagh is? The one your wearing looks like the perfect size, not to big, not to small. Do you by chance have the dimensions? Thank you so much.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad you enjoyed the video. The shemagh measures 43"x43" and is 100% cotton. You can find them on eBay as well as Amazon. Thanks for commenting
