Care for your layer

Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/wool cycle in cold water (50-68°F). Use a mild wool-safe or pH-neutral detergent. Wash with similar colors. Don't bleach or use fabric softener.

Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Don't tumble dry, twist, or wring. Cool iron if needed. Store folded in a cool, dry space with airflow; avoid hanging.

Naturally dyed colors can transfer with sweat or friction. Wear them with dark clothing or equipment, wash sparingly, and avoid citric acid, which can lighten the color.

Alpaca Wool Neck Gaiter: 160 Ultralight

The benefits

Why Alpaca wins

Alpacas en los Andes peruanos

Andes-adapted for changing temperatures

Alpacas evolved where days run warm and nights turn cold. Their semi-hollow fibers trap insulating air, helping you stay comfortable as the temperature changes.

Softness starts in the fiber

Alpaca’s smoother scales give the fabric a soft feel against your skin. Comfort comes from the fiber’s structure.

Wear more, wash less

Alpaca wool naturally resists odor. Air your layer between wears, then wash it when it needs cleaning. Less time doing laundry. More time outside.

Single origin

Peru, start to finish.

Arms of Andes is a family company with roots in the Peruvian Andes. “Arms” brings together the initials of four siblings. That connection to Peru shapes what we make and where we make it.

From fiber sourcing and yarn spinning to knitting and sewing, production stays in Peru. One country, with the people and knowledge behind your gear close together.

How Many Folds?

Enjoy the product, does its job well. Only issue (and this might just be because I don’t wear Gators) I have to fold the dang thing about 6 times before it decides to stay up on my nose and around my ears comfortably.

Maybe this is not a working outside product, but it helps me a lot. Just my god…the folding.

Love it

This is very lightweight, soft, and high quality. I wear this in NYC and it does a great job regulating warmth without feeling too suffocating wearing it. It's also stylish and looks great.

Disappointed

I never received my order. I’ve only given you one star as it won’t let me give you zero.

Definitely warm

When it arrived I was fairly surprised at how long it is, which is nice for the warmth factor. I appreciate how loose and long it is so that I can fold it in half and use it so the tags don’t bother my neck. It is a bit itchier than I assumed it would be. The itchiness decreased after I hand washed it but still a touch on the itchy side. Not sure if it’s just my skin or what, but the softness is not the same as my experience with other alpaca wool items I’ve touched.

Hi Cass! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear you’re enjoying the warmth and length of the neck gaiter. Some sensitivity to the natural alpaca fibers can vary from person to person, but we appreciate your feedback and are happy to know it softened up after washing.

Good but...

Could have been a bit thicker and not as large. I purposely put it in the dryer to shrink it which made it more snug around the neck. It is comfortable to wear and at times I forget I even have it on.

Hi Brian ,
Thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad it's comfortable and that you're enjoying it. We totally understand wanting a snugger fit, and it sounds like the dryer did the trick for you!

Nice Neckwarmer

I like the size of the neck warmer in addition to it's level of warmth. The longer tube style makes it a versatile addition to my winter gear.

Hi Al !
We're so glad to hear you like the neck warmer and its warmth! The longer tube style is definitely a great feature for versatility, and we're happy it's working well for you. Stay warm and cozy this winter!

Worth the wait

Must say the product is very well finished, top quality to the touch and exceeded my expectations. I do recommend the product and have to make a remark on the fabric itself. Feel very high end.

Hi Luis, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that the product exceeded your expectations and that you're impressed with the quality and feel of the fabric. Your recommendation means so much to us, and we’re thrilled to know that the craftsmanship and material made such a great impression. Thank you for your kind words and support!

warm and comfortable

This replaces another brand wool neck gaiter. I like the texture of the fabric and the thickness is perfect for me to wear outdoors for warmth and indoors when chilly. The top and bottom seam are a little thick compared to others I've used but it's not necessarily a bad thing. I have been recommending it to others.

Your positive experience may help others in their search for a reliable and comfortable neck gaiter :D

I never received the neck gaiter, no response from customer service after three emails.

Both warm and light, minimalist

Best neck gaiter ever. It’s long enough to double up for extra warmth and light/thin enough to keep it a single layer and just let it scrunch up. Perfect balance of warmth and lightness/breath-ability.

Love it!

I wear this along with the beanie when exercising in the cold. It's amazingly lightweight and very versatile. In really cold weather (I've use it in as low as minus 25F windchills), I use it to cover my nose and mouth and it's really warm but also very breathable. It's so light that I often leave it on when I come inside too, and it's super comfy and never gets hot either.

Awesome, comfortable, and cozy!

I was curious about the warmth and comfort of this neck gaiter being "ultralight" but so far, its been a great balance! Its obviously not too bulky and heavy but also not like a thin cloth that offers very little protection. Soft on the skin, natural and sustainable fibers with great performance benefits, and a simple design in a versatile, quality product!

Perfect

Exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to replace my buff as it gets rather stinky on long backpacking trips. I am all in on natural fibers. In the back country you can’t beat wool. Soft, stretchy and comfortable.

Sean Cobb
Great neck gaiter!

Nothing to dislike here. Neck gaiter does what it's supposed to do and the 100% royal alpaca is as comfortable as it is in the other products. If you are looking for a wool neck gaiter anyways why not get alpaca? You won't regret it.

Very Remarkable Garment

I ordered the Men’s Alpaca Wool Mid Layer 420 Midnight Half-Zip and I am extremely pleased! The fit and construction are superb! Wearing this feels like a warm hug. It is gorgeous piece of clothing! Many thanks to the many people of Peru who had a hand in the manufacture ot it!

Best regards,
