I have the Riv neck gaiter with possum. It's light and really warm. Give it a try. On Tuesday, December 4, 2012 4:57:57 AM UTC-5, ascpgh wrote: > > > +1 for Aaron's plug for the Smartwool neck gaitor. The Blair item conjures > this burned-in image: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqLG7bVA-

Patrick, Since you are looking for thin neck protection in relativley mild temps, are you aware of Buff? http://www.rei.com/product/691367/buff-original-buff I like them a lot. They are thin, inexpensive, not itchy wool (though I like wool), stylish, and versatile. You can pull them up to kee

Excellent idea; thanks. Usually when it is cold enough for a light neck warmer, it is also cold enough for a second, thin front layer; and as temps warm quickly here at 5-6K feet, easy removal is a great plus. Update: none found by Rapha, but did find these: http://wintersilks.blair.com/product/M

I am extremely fond of the Riv "Triple Tube" and have several of them. It is relatively lightweight merino wool, and long enough that when it's really cold I pull it up to cover my chin and ears. When it's not as cold, I scrunch it down around my neck and it gets small enough to still get som

I have an open-top beanie from Pearl Izumi that doubles as a neck warmer. The top cinches closed for use as a hat; open it up and you can pull it down to cover your neck. Photo here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy/8232160993/lightbox/ --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot
