The best Men's Outdoor Recreation Neck Gaiters: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I like to have multiple masks/bandanas near me to try out depending on how I'm feeling. My favorite is a cooling neck gaiter, it's very soft and reasonably breathable while still fliter-y, and wicks away condensation and sweat and makes me feel less panicked about having something on my face. I ordered this one but there are many similar ones available.

Stuff like this can really help keep you cool. Doesn't even have to be one of these made for purpose ones (though these will last longer without needing to be refreshed). Could just be a bandana that you soak in water and wrap around your neck.

I wear one of these for skiing, best mask I've found yet. Not stylish by any means, but it's warm without being suffocating, and the way it vents keeps my goggles from fogging up better than any Buff or Smartwool product. I imagine it would work just as well for cycling, and there is a version with a skull cap built in if you need to keep your dome warm too.

My favorite has been the Mission Multi-Cool/Endura-Cool gaiter.

It's long enough to fully cover your neck, as well as going between your head and the helmet padding.

Material is thin enough to pass a lot of air. Yet, also prevents sunburn. I don't have to wear sunscreen on my neck, even on long summer rides. No sunburn, no jacket collar getting nasty from rubbed-off sunscreen.

You will still want to wash the helmet padding once or even twice per summer, but the gaiter does help a lot.

Buff brand or similar multi use tube scarves

I don’t particularly like that brand but the photo shows what it looks like. It works very well as forehead coverage but doesn’t get too hot

1) Mission Cooling Neck Gaiter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UR4HHC8/

Not appropriate as a face mask, but works really great for cooking you down. I’ve sworn by one for years. I have one right now while I nurse my baby before bed.

2) Ice water foot bath

You don’t realize until you do it how much cooling down your feet will make your whole body feel better.

Invest in and use something like this, take some OTC meds like Aleve, Advil, or Tylenol, maybe apply cold pack to back of your neck traveling to MEPS, and wear loose fitting clothes ... do whatever to improvise, adapt, and overcome your natural higher body temperature to cool down just enough get in the door.

My family all used neck-gaiters. Their really breathable. The ones with elastic are super easy to keep on your face.

I felt similarly but not super severe. Getting a gaiter helped a lot. I recommend this one: Mission Cooling Neck Gaiter 12+... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UR4HHC8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share it’s not bothersome at all!

I use them often. Mission makes a cooling buff and it works well. I have a couple and keep them in the ice chest. Feels great in Texas heat.

I just got this and used it for the first time today. Kept me warm and didn't notice any difference in breathing.

Here is a super soft neck warmer. I'm guessing very handy in Canada.

Here's a chin strap clip. One of those things you don't know you need until you've had one. You can buckle/unbuckle your helmet without having to take your gloves off.

So far it hasn't been cold enough to need any protection for my face. It's just my ears that hurt but that's solved by a toque. I've heard neck gaiters are good for freezing temps.
