Kodiak Fleece Neck Gaiter – Heavyweight Brushed Merino Wool
When the wind is howling and the snow is coming down, reach for the Kodiak Fleece Neck Gaiter. The brushed fleece finish creates a soft, lofty layer that traps heat like nothing else—this is heavyweight warmth for serious cold. The adjustable drawcord lets you customize the fit to your face, while the breathable mouth panel keeps you comfortable without trapping moisture when you're working hard.
Why You'll Love This Neck Gaiter: Most merino neck gaiters are simple tubes—functional but basic. The Kodiak Fleece version adds features that actually matter in extreme cold. The adjustable drawcord means no gaps letting cold air in, and the breathable mouth panel prevents that clammy, uncomfortable feeling when you're breathing hard on the trail. At 400 GSM, this is significantly warmer than standard gaiters (Ridge Merino's double-layer gaiter is 360 GSM), and the brushed interior feels incredibly soft against your skin. Machine wash AND dry means easy care—competitors like Ridge Merino and Duckworth require hang drying or hand washing.
Why Merino? Merino wool pulls moisture away from your skin and releases it into the air, keeping you dry even during high-output activities. The natural fibers resist odor so you can wear this gaiter day after day without washing. If you get caught in snow or sleet, merino keeps insulating even when wet—a critical advantage over synthetic alternatives. And since this is something you breathe through, there are no chemical treatments for performance like you'd find in polyester gaiters.
