The 6 Best Neck Gaiters for Women

Looking for a simple, affordable neck gaiter?

Try this sleek option from Doerix, which is made of polyester microfiber.

Polyester is a popular neck gaiter fabric because it keeps you cool in the sun but also warm in the cold. It’s breathable, lightweight and dries quickly. 

The best thing about this neck gaiter is its adjustable rope in the back. Most neck gaiters are one size fits all, so sometimes I find that even the most stretchy gaiter can slip down my face if not held in place by sunglasses or goggles.

This gaiter has an adjustable elastic toggle in the back, so you can tighten it for a snug fit!

Turtle Fur specializes in neckwear and invented the original fleece neck gaiter!

Their 100% acrylic fleece is some of the softest and most comfortable material I’ve ever touched. It’s warm and double layered, so it creates a cocoon of warmth around your neck and lower face.

It’s also super comfortable to wear all day long, and ideal for snowboarding and skiing.

I love that it comes in a rainbow of colors and is super soft.

I reach for my Smartwool neck gaiter most often on ski trips.

It’s made from merino wool, which is lightweight, breathable and anti-microbial. It’s actually incredible to me how such a small piece of fabric can add so much warmth! 

Smartwool makes really great merino wool base layers, and their gaiters are equally great quality. The neck gaiters come in different thickness options – I have the merino 150.

It’s soft next to my skin, thick enough to block the wind when skiing, and machine washable!

Bula’s neck gaiters are made from 100% recycled polyester.

If you prefer to shop sustainably, you’ll love their lightweight tube. It’s quick drying, with tons of stretch and moisture wicking properties.

Not only will you be warm in cold weather, you’ll be able to breathe in the heat and dust. 

Bula makes their neck gaiters in all sorts of distinctive patterns and prints too!

Looking for a unique neck gaiter?

Obermeyer’s reversible neck warmers add a touch of fun to any winter outfit. The allover printed neck gaiter has two options, so you can flip it over and reverse it for two looks.

Obermeyer makes my favorite ski bib and all of their winter accessories I’ve tried have been great quality. This neck gaiter is made from a mixture of polyester and elastane, so it’s lightweight, breathable and stretchy!

Some people run cold, and some run hot.

If you’re the latter, check out the lightweight neck gaiter from Icebreaker.

It’s made from 100% wool but is incredibly light and breathable, so it will wick moisture away while also letting you comfortably breathe through the fabric.

It also has a bit of a cooling effect!
