Loose enough to be comfortable and kept me warm at 10F snowboarding.
Vee
Kept my neck warm during the recent winter storm. Was outdoor for half the day in -12 celsius.
Dan
I have purchased a number of neck gaiters for winter outdoor activities in the past and these feel much more comfortable.
Jeff
This is the piece of gear I've been missing for my long runs in the winter. It stays warm. I can pull it over my ears and nose and it stays in place. Paired with the smartwool cap it's perfect.
Brian
I gave my older one to my granddaughter and bought this to as a replacement. It works well scrunged up but feels too thin when pulled up to cover your face more. I miss my older heavier one and would not recommend this one.
Ronald
Just got off the hill this was so warm and comfortable
I got this instead of a balaclava and I'm very happy with the choice. The long version is great because there is so much versatility. You can leave it as just a knack warmer. Pull it up over your ears and mouth or nose. For me it is long enough to pull it up to my forehead like a balaclava. Very soft and comfortable against your face. It also has a good temperature range for usability from single digits up to the 40s (Fahrenheit). Great performance.

Great color and so warm and soft. Perfect for cold, windy, and winterly days
Mark
My daughter needed a gaiter for track practice. The Smartwool gaiter fit her very well, kept her warm, and was very breathable during practice.
Armando
Great for winter running or hiking. Actually it is very warm. I used it with low low 40s temperatures and it was so warm I had to take it off. I'll save it for cooler temps but definitely a good purchase

I use this at work, which is on a jet boat on the local rivers. The length is good, covers from neck up and over the my hat. The knit is a bit open, which is great for breathability, but isn't quite as warm as I'd like. But this is on an open boat, 30mph, for several hours. For most applications I'd see it being fine.
Joseph
Excellent Gaiter, tested it out in Fairbanks Ak from November to March/April and it met my expectations, kept my neck nice and warm, which is vital
Paul
Great feeling and warm…wear also to dress up my outfit
Todd
So far, so good. Keeps the neck warm when down, stays in place when I pull it up over my nose. Haven't used in below freezing yet, but I'm hopeful. . .

After traveling cross country I somehow ruined the one I bought a few years ago. It has several tears in it:( So I just bought two more. These are perfect from early fall to late spring. They breathe and are very comfortable. Also, easy to take off when I get a little too warm, unlike a turtleneck sweater. I especially like them when I'm bike riding to keep my neck warm. I used mine all winter last year. It fits easily under coats without the bother of scarf ends. Can also be used to cover my mouth & nose when it gets really cold. Highly recommend:)
