A neck gaiter is the smallest layer in cycling, and one of the most useful. It adds a layer between you and the elements on chilly, dry rides, and it packs down small enough to forget it's in your pocket.

Three ways to wear it

  • Neck warmer: around your neck, it closes the gap between your collar and your chin.
  • Face cover: pulled up over your face on the coldest stretches.
  • Headband: worn under your helmet.

It's handy off the bike too: on a cold walk, a ski day, or stuffed in a jersey pocket for the café stop. Every Corbah gaiter is unisex, one size.

When to bring one
