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.

This might just be my
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!

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.

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 the first Sitka
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

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.

Let me preface by saying
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.

This gaiter saved my 2018
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.

This neck gaiter lives in
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.

The best performing neck gaiter
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 thing is the bomb
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.

Wish I could give more
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!
