PEARL iZUMi

Thermal Neck Gaiter

After mid-November, we rarely clip-in without something like Pearl Izumi's Thermal Neck Gaiter on or stuffed into a jersey pocket. It blends Pearl's insulating, moisture-managing Thermal Dry fabric with a draw cord opening that sets it apart from the rest of the gaiter competition.

Instead of either riding with the gaiter pulled up to your eyes or constantly drooping down past your jaw line, the draw cord lets you decide where you want the gaiter to sit and then keep the damn thing there. In a pinch, you can also convert it to a cap by completely closing the opening. It's not an ideal solution, but when you realize you've forgotten a cap twenty minutes into a winter ride, you don't have the luxury of being picky.
