As others say it is a game changer. It has a great feeling to it and make sure your neck is warm. Buy it you won't regret. The only reason I only gave it 4 stars is I think it is small in size

This simple piece of clothing is a game changer for a hunter in cold weather.

I was really hesitant to purchase this piece! I have a big head and a large neck! Upon other reviews, I figured I would give it a shot. It fit fine, the neck gaiter is super warm and worth every penny! If you have any reservations on fit, don't worry, it will! Once you wear it, you will really notice how much heat you loose around your neck! Thanks Sitka!

Very soft and warm. It does a great job of sealing out the cold and the heat in at your neck. Only down side is the super soft Berber fleece has a tendency to pick up and hold burrs and little pieces of twig very well that stick, poke, and make for an itchy neck. But if you can keep it clean it’s great.

I am not usually a neck gaiter kind of person. This one is spot on. It is not overly bulky and it is the perfectly length. Pair it up with a Sitka hoodie like the apex or the heavyweight (put the hood on, then the neck gaiter), top it off with the fanatic beanie or the Hudson GTX hat and you only feel the cold on your eyeballs. It definitely makes an all day sit tolerable even in the coldest PA conditions.

As good as the cool side of the pillow on a summer night. Adding this to your cold weather gear will have you questioning why no one else is out in the blizzard. Adds serious warmth with something that goes into your pocket.

The thing works great!

This might just be my favorite piece of Sitka gear that I own. I own a lot of the waterfowl line including the Dakota, Gradient, and Grinder pieces as well as the Dakota Hat and Hudson Muff. I love this piece. I find when hunting when it’s really cold out the best way to stay warm is keeping everywhere warm, I have things to keep my head, hands, and feet warm but I always found I was losing a lot of heat through my neck/chin area. Long sits in the blind it the deer stand were chilly with more clothes on before I got this guy. I found it really keeps my entire body warm because I’m not losing heat anywhere and I can sit for so much longer. Most neck gaiters are super itchy when you have a beard. This one isn’t which makes it a game changer. This is a phenomenal piece and everyone needs one if they’re hunting anywhere below 30*. Much love from Northern Minnesota!

Great product. This is a must to complete your hunting system.

it's pretty MINTY

I am 5 foot 7 1/2 150 pounds, this is perfect for me, sitting in 30° weather is perfect also pull up just on my face, so warm so comfortable, feels so great on your face and neck

5'9" 185lb. North Dakota. 7 3/4" hat size. 17.5" Neck

Temp Range Comfortable- Below Zero-30s (Gets too warm when worn in early season temps)

I have what I consider a large head so this is snug but not uncomfortable in any way.

Extremely extremely warm. Have worn in high wind, freezing fog, low temp weather conditions and I could not have been more comfortable.

IMO comfort is critical to you enjoying hunting on any given day of the year. If you want a matching piece of high quality gear to keep your face and neck warm I highly recommend this product.

But this neck gaiter. Don't even think twice about it. You won't be disappointed.

Super warm and soft, absolutely incredible how big of a difference it can make. However, I give it 4 stars because it bunches up in the front and back, especially when I wear my Fanatic hoodie under it.

This is the first Sitka item I would call basic. It does not have a drawstring which I consider makes one truly one size fits all. Also the picture seems misleading it does not swoop down in the front. When I pull it up over my chin it isn’t tucked in

Honestly just look at it and you feel warm. I love this neck gaiter and will have to buy another one this year, because I wear mine so much even when I am not hunting.

Extremely warm and well built. Best quality gaiter I have found.

I picked one up last duck season for myself and immediately fell in love it. I cannot stand my neck/face getting cold and the gaitor does a perfect job in keeping it warm with the fleece material. I also had to buy another for my son because he kept stealing mine. It’s one of those items you can’t leave the house without.

This is one deluxe piece of gear! Incredibly comfortable and warm you can use this while glassing, sledding, hiking, standing, sleeping, literally whenever you want to be warm and comfortable! Also those with large melons that are worried that it won't fit - my hat size is about 7 5/8 and it slipped over my large head so fear not if your hat size is below that, probably a size or two larger would be tight tho.

Love the product. If you wear a size 7 1/4 hat or smaller, you can wear it.

Just get it, you won’t regret this one.

Let me preface by saying I AM NOT a "sitka" guy. This is the only clothing I own from Sitka and you can usually find me in a hodgepodge of Max 5 (duck hunting camo) and a Women's extra large puffy coat while sitting in my tree stand. With that said, I found myself struggling to stay warm on my all day sits in WI. I finally purchased this gaiter and my lord it has been the best money I have spent. Seriously, it DOES NOT matter the temperature, this material will keep your face warm. You can pull it up to your eyes on those days where you are asking yourself why in the heck you aren't sitting by the fireplace, or you can wear it as a simple neck guard. If you are struggling to click that purchase button, just do it. From one cheapskate to another, this is worth the money. My last piece of advice for you is if you are thinking about wearing a lighter face mask underneath this neck gaiter.... don't. Maybe it is just me, but I have found that this neck gaiter performs best when it is unrestricted i.e. when it is touching your face.

I LOVE this. I'm a girl so obviously I'm always cold. I hunt into January here in Maine and use it ice fishing all season it's seriously so warm and soft and looks nice!

This gaiter saved my 2018 Kansas deer hunt. The weather wasn’t supposed to be cold (40s-50s) when I was there. However as the weather does, it changed. The last few days the temps dropped into the 20s with a steady wind and snow. This piece kept me warm and in the stand, even dressed for temps 20-30 degrees warmer than they were. It’s amazing how much heat escapes through your head/neck area.

great "looking" item but I cannot get it over my head! I wear a 7 3/4 hat and I cannot even get over my melon. I wish it would, it looks warm but is a total waste of money for me.

This product is great for keeping your neck warm. In addition, you can pull it up over mouth and nose. Seemed like a bit of a frivolous purchase at the time, but I'm glad I had it.

A must have in the blind bag. It’s big enough to pull up over mouth and nose while you are checking the sky for birds. I hunted several days in single digits and was never cold.

This neck gaiter lives in my kit once the weather hovers around freezing. The inside fleece material is extremely soft next to skin and keeps my neck, ears and chin snug and warm as needed. This can be used with most any jacket/coat but I generally use it with the duck oven jacket, and a brimmed toque on top. This combination helps the duck oven hunt colder than it would normally would for me, and the neck gaiter keeps things warm while allowing great visibility and movement in the blind.

Great product! This is the warmest thing I think I have ever worn. Looks great in the optifade and works great in those cold brisk mornings in the blind.

Very warm and keeps the heat inside and the cold out! Perfect hight/length, it allows for you to slip the majority of your face into the gaiter without it balling up like some of the others I have owned in the past. Easy purchase that keeps you warm. Won't go to the tree stand without it!

Buy one. Trust me. It’s amazing.

Wonderful piece of equipment to have on those cold days. Light weight and super warm! And if it does get wet, it dries fairly quickly. Would get full stars of it had a tapered design with the front longer and back shorter - a little bulky on the back of the neck, especially when paired with the Ballistic Beanie.

Amazing piece of gear! Has kept me warm and is very soft. Best neck gaiter for the money. Only wish it was about 2” longer.

Warmest piece of clothing I own! This neck gaiter is the best addition to my late season kit! I always wear the face mask that comes in my Sitka hoody for early deer season but this gaiter in now my go to piece for late season! Keeps my neck and face toasty warm, not too bulky and allows me to stay out for an all day sit!

One of the most comfortable pieces of hunting gear I own. I wear a face mask and a beanie when I hunt and this fits in perfectly. Keeps my neck warm on those days when it's in the teens and single digits, but doesn't collect moisture. I'm really happy I got it for Christmas last year and highly recommend it if you hunt in cold areas.

Fantastic piece of gear. So warm and comfy that the wifey stole it and I had to buy another one. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this in a solid color for us skiers and snowmobilers Sitka, please.

most comfortable piece of hunting gear I own. It keeps my neck warm while at the same time making me feel extra concealed in the blind.

The best performing neck gaiter I have ever worn, hands down. It is amazing how this neck gaiter does not condensate against your face like other thick fleece neck gaiters. Fits well, not too tight and it stays in place regardless if you are using it for a neck gaiter or neck gaiter/partial face mask. I can even pull the back of it up over my ponytail and it stays in place without restricting my movement. This neck gaiter is my go to for all cold weaher hunting.

This an amazing piece of gear I wouldn't be with out it on a cold January day sea duck hunting on the Maine coast. This thing keeps the wind out and the heat in. It's also really comfortable to wear!

This is one item that is always in my pack for cooler days. It’s amazing the amount of heat you lose through your neck and up from your core and chest. The gaiter is super soft and comfortable. Very thick and extremely warm. Adding just this piece can make the ditterence between a cold and miserable hunt to a warm and comfortable one. Highly recommended piece!

This thing is as warm as they come. Girlfriend got this as a Christmas present and it's absolutely awesome. I usually put it on for the boat ride in and out. I have to pull it down or take it off all together when putting out decoys or when setting up. Absolutely can't say enough nice things about this piece.

This thing is the bomb especially when driving a boat when its cold out. The fleece really helps break up the wind. I do prefer not to have this on when actually hunting however as it can be a tad bit bulky when trying to look around. I found myself constantly having to adjust my hat and or beanie one day this year while leaning up against the blind wall trying to peak up at the ducks, the bulk of this gaiter kept pushing the back of the beanie and or hat up on my head. It is what it is though, its made to be warm, I still Highly Recommend owning one of these.

Wearing one right now and I've been in 22 degree weather for five hours. This thing is working!

I highly recommend this neck gaitor.

This is a must have for any hunter! I have 1 in each camo. Once my hunting buddy's saw them they all purchased one. Always have one with me. Makes those cold morning sits much more enjoyable.

Absolutely LOVE this neck gaiter and is a MUST HAVE item especially in these northern states. I recommend to everyone I meet or take out in the field. As a Registered Maine Guide, I spend many hours in the fields, woods, marshes, and bogs. It is imperative that the gear I choose keeps me warm, dry, and lightweight. Great job!!

Hands down a must have for every hunter. You don't realize how much heat is lost through your neck, until you strap this baby on. A deadly combo when added with the beanie.

Once again, the common Sitka flaw in headgear...too darn small! I am not that large, 5'10, 200 lbs but with a large head (7 1/2) and thick neck. This item will not fit, as much as I'd like it too. PLEASE sitka, make us some larger headgear!

Very warm and very comfortable. I would suggest putting it on once you get to your destination unless you're fighting biting winds and cold temps. It's really that warm. I couldn't believe it until I purchased it. Reasonably priced piece of gear that helps keep you warm and comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Best neck gaiter out there hands down.

For guys with beard stubble.

This is the most comfortable gaiter I've ever owned and the only one I've ever put on that didn't pull my beard. I usually keep some stubble up to a short beard. I can finally turn my head without feeling like tweezers yanking out all my hairs. Dealt with it for years until I came across this beauty.

Sitka definitely hit a home-run with this one

A must have, period. I've already gifted this to two people.

Jason Nailed it! Pair this piece with a wind stopper beanie and you'll be bullet proof. It still allows you to have full range of motion while staying warm. It's a very simple design.

Wish I could give more stars! First off, let's start by saying extremely comfortable, very warm, and surprisingly windproof. Like in some of the other reviews, it is something to always have with you in cold weather. The thing that came to a surprise to me, was how breathable it was. For being as big as it is and have the fleece inside, I was able to hike miles upon miles with it over my face. In fact, it's so good, that sometimes it gets a little too hot. Which is nothing to complain about. Highly recommend this product to anybody in the low temperatures. Definitely buying more for different occasions!

Two things, ultimate comfort and warmth. The ultimate neck protection for the hunter's who hunt in cold situations.

This beast is warm as heck! I was actually TOO HOT on a mountain lion hunt wearing this thing. If you are on the move, take it off. If you are riding snowmobiles or quads in single-digit temps, just pull this thing on and you are all set! Keeping your neck warm is tough in the wind, but this is a great "necessity" for glassing, sitting in a duck blind or on stand during a rut hunt. As a Gore product tester I try to understand how pieces can work together to maximize function without adding bulk or redundant layers. Couple this with a Sitka Windstopper beanie and you have one heck of an option for cold weather hunts.
