Merino Wool Neck Gaiters & Balaclavas – Versatile Warmth for Every Season
Experience lightweight warmth, breathable comfort, and all-season performance with Merino Protect’s neck gaiters and balaclavas, crafted from ethically sourced Australian Merino wool. Naturally soft and itch-free, each Merino wool neck warmer sits comfortably against your skin while providing excellent moisture-wicking, odor resistance, and temperature regulation.
Designed for comfort in motion, these wool neck warmers and Merino neck gaiters adapt to changing conditions—whether you're hiking rugged trails, biking in the wind, skiing fresh powder, or navigating your daily commute. Their stretchable, flexible design moves with you without restricting breathability or comfort.
Our neck gaiters offer versatile functionality: wear them as neck warmers, headbands, face covers, or even lightweight beanies. For colder, windier days, the merino balaclavas provide full coverage for your head, neck, and face—perfect for high-exertion activities or extreme weather.
Both styles are lightweight, easy to layer, and compact enough to stash in your pocket or pack. Their quick-drying properties and natural odor resistance make them ideal for repeated, extended use in active or travel-heavy settings.
Choose from classic neutrals—including our popular gray neck gaiters—for an understated, adaptable look. Pair your comfortable neck gaiter with Merino Protect’s performance base layers and socks to complete a breathable, moisture-managing layering system that’s made for movement and built to last.
Every product is backed by our one-year warranty and crafted with sustainability in mind—Merino Protect blends natural performance with eco-conscious design for gear that supports both your adventures and the planet.
