MISSION Multi-Use Neck Gaiter Face Mask for Ski & Outdoors, UPF 50, Breathable Lightweight Fabric

I have had one of these before in the past and as others have said this is on the larger side, but that’s only because it’s designed to go up over your head while still around your face or neck. I had a different one by the same company that was half the size of this one and I liked, but I like this one little better because you can actually put it up over your head while you’re wearing it around your neck or you can put it up on your face so it gives you more versatility. I like the fact that it’s lightweight and has a nice color provides good dust protection and it also has upf 50 as you can see from my photos it takes up the full length of my lower leg from my ankle up to Just passed my knee for reference I am 5‘3“ tall it stays cool for about 2 hours & has saved me from heat stroke

Product help me stay Cool . Whil working outside landscape .

I wear this in the summer when I mow the lawn or go kayaking. I'm heat intolerant and really need something to keep me cool, and this does help a great deal. If you shift it around and re-snap it, it does keep you cool for a while, but perhaps not two hours. One thing I do really like about it is that it helps protect the back of my neck from sunburn. Even though I wear a hat, I still get burned unless I wear this thing. It is very comfortable and I often don't even wring it completely out as a few drops of water also help with the cooling, anyway. If you are working outside, I really recommend this. It works better than the soaked bandanna I used to use and is much more comfortable. The fabric is stretchy and soft and will not scratch you. It washes up very well and dries quickly, which is great when you want to use it day after day or on a weekend. This is a good way to help stay cool as the summer heats up.

My fiance and I absolutely HATE the heat, but, living in CA, you don't have much choice if you want to do things outdoors. I bought 2 of these when we were going through a major heat wave recently. I like that you can put it over your head and it sits like a scarf and you don't have to fiddle around with it to make sure it stays on. I've found that to be the only way to wear that is actually functional for me. The other ways either aren't as effective or are way too restrictive (and ridiculous!) for casual outdoor yardwork. My fiance didn't want to wear his at first. So one hot day, after a long session of playing with my dog, i put this around my dog's neck. He doesn't like water: he doesn't like being wet, stepping in water, being sprayed, etc, and runs away whenever i grab the hose to water the yard, whenever i turn on the water in the shower, or whenever i turn on the sprinklers (even though they're nowhere near him)... weirdo. But, to my surprise, he was absolutely okay with having this drenched towel around his neck! And, instead of panting loudly for 20 minutes after playing, he only panted heavily for 5 minutes after i put the cooling towel around him! I was really happy that he doesn't refuse it and that it helps him, because dogs overheating is a legitimate concern (many k-9 units have been lost due to heat exhaustion.... really sad. look it up). And my dog has a tendency to not care about anything else when it's play time, not even his own health!!! (one scary example: we were playing in the front yard, and he came back limping, i was wondering what happened and tried to look at his leg. He backed away and just wanted me to throw the ball again. so i did. when he came back the second time, i realized a ton of blood on his foot... I was like OMG WHAT HAPPENED!!!? Turns out, he had nearly ripped off one of his rear dew claws somehow on the previous throw/return. To this day, I still don't know how it happened, there's nothing sharp in my grass! This claw was just barrrrrely hanging on. So here he is, limping, and blood everywhere; he doesn't care, HE WANTS TO PLAY!! Looking back at this, it's funny as hell, but at the time, I was freaking out. I immediately put pressure on it and we wrapped it and called the vet. He eventually had surgery to remove his rear dew claws. He's just fine now :) and still doesn't care about his own health. dogs are silly) Either way, This is awesome for my dog. plus it looks suuuper cute on him, looks like a handkerchief but keeps him cool. It was an unintended purpose for this purchase, but it turned out to be a really good thing for my pup, who goes 100% on every single throw, no matter if he's limping, overheated, bloody, missing a toe.... etc. It's my way of looking after his health since HE doesn't. OH, another use i forgot to mention: I had actually bought this as a gift for my dad who does go-karting. I remember he had mentioned about being so hot when he's karting (cuz you got all that gear on, helmet, full body suit plus neck padding and rib cage protectors, and you're in direct sun and heat, and you're on black asphalt.... yeahhh) So anyways, i was like omg, this would be perfect for my dad, cuz he can wear it under all of his gear and under his helmet! He reported back to me and said he loves it and makes it soooo much more bearable in that heat. So, there's another use for it. I got him the black one so that it blends in with his gear.

These multi-use neck gaiters from Mission are awesome. There are several ways you can wear it on your head, you can wear it on your neck (duh), you can wear it on your wrist, you can toss it in a backpack or a pocket. When wet, they keep you cooler than if you didn't have one. Keep it around your neck and it will cool the blood going through your jugular veins. This doesn't last forever but all you need to do is turn it a little to get a little bit more coolness out of it. I live in a hot and humid place in the mid-Atlantic and not only does this keep you cool, it affords you some shade. You got bugs? Well this neck gaiter worn as a mask keeps them at Bay. Typically after a run, I walk and usually it's in the shady area. This is where insects love to stay because it's out of the Sun and we are low hanging fruit. LOL. When I wear it on my wrist, I use it to wipe sweat, to wipe my nose, or just to feel something cool where there is nothing around. Finally I have used this to stop bleeding after I failed Superman impersonation (skint knee krew, where you at?!) It's great to clean wounds, as an improvised bandage, or just refreshing on an owee. Enclosed you will find a couple of action shots of how I use this thing. I have a white one, a tan one, and two blue ones. I wanted to put one on my dog but she's a little puppy, so as is it just slides down her body but doubled up to make it half the size, I can't get it around her noggin. In the old days they carried a bandana, and I still do on ultra runs, but if you just need something to trot around or to work outside, this synthetic material will be more beneficial than a cotton bandana (which is still a great thing to have). Anything over 5 miles and I have it on my body. A negative? It doesn't come in green.

Awesome product but too small. I have used exclusively Mission neck gaiters since I first started using their product many years ago. Great material, amazing quality! Unfortunately I have confirmed that the size of the product has been reduced as your new product I have recently purchased do not have the same width and height as my older gaiters. Do you offer multiple sizes? Large/X-large that will fit a larger gentleman like myself? Older gaiters fit loosely and comfortably from day one. I want to buy more but these two that i just purchased don't fit me well. =(

These Mission cooling neck gaiters really work. Been using them for years.

I actually originally got this for exercising at the gym. But ever since the quarantine started, I've been using it outdoors when I walk and run. Good thing about this is, this gaiter is made to be worn "wet", so I would get some ice in a small bowl, add some cold water, and wet the gaiter with that ice cold water. Wring it out, snap it a few times, and wear it on my neck that way. When I encounter a neighbor, I can quickly pull up the gaiter over my mouth and nose. As much as they say that the fabric is made of proprietary technology, I truly don't know if there's anything special in it. But what I do know is, it is soft and comfortable. When wet, it stayed wet for relatively long time ( I go out for 2 hours walks). Since I carry a cold bottle of water, if the walk or run is long enough to dry out the gaiter, I'd re-wet it again, to kick-start the cooling towel effects. The softness of the fabric is probably one of the softest I've encountered. It's got enough elasticity that it does not suffocate my slightly above average head and neck. I've laundered mine many times, and it stayed soft, time and time again. It is also very breathable, even when wet. Actually, I'd prefer it to be wet when outside in the hot sun. One of the versatilities of this gaiter, is to use it as a head-band. To me, that's a bit tight, but if I pull it up and over past your eyes, you can use it as a skull cap by pulling the excess to the back and tucking under the base in the back. This is probably one of the items that saved me in this COVID-19 pandemic. If you don't like how other masks work for you, try one of these out. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Stay safe out there.

Cache cou d'une bonne longueur. Tissus agréable à porter. Refroidit lors de canicule. Peut servir de masque facial ou sécuriser un masque de procédure (masque médical) lors d'intervention. Reste beau malgré de nombreux lavage.

自転車で動くことが多いですが、快適です。 また、庭の手入れ時にも、日焼けと暑さの防止にgoodです。 ブルーも買ってしまいました…

Excelente ! Muy útil

One of the things I wanted this for was to keep my neck cool and it does this in spades. I can put it over my head to keep the sun off very easily. Very comfortable I wear it for a 8 hour shift.

My Gaiter came in good time. I love it. At first it was a bit tight around the the neck. After a couple washes it seems to loosen up a bit. The gaiter is well made with a thin material making it easier to breath through. It stays up perfectly but I find after a few you have to adjust it. The gaiter can be folded up and a Kleenex or coffee can be inserted for extra protection against Covid-19. I held the gaiter under the cold water tap and snapped it 3 or 4 times and put it around my neck. The cooling part works really, really well. I’m impressed. I bought another one a couple days later.
