RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR Grid Merino Long Neck Gaiter

A neck gaiter that is warm with a grid and can be used other than wrapping it around your neck.

As the product name says "Long Neck Gaiter", it is set longer than a normal neck gaiter. It features a design that completely covers the nose, ears, and back of the head when stretched. There is no gap between the hem of the gaiter and the body even when exercising while looking up with the nose, ears and back of the head covered.

This Grid Merino Long Neck Gaiter can be used as a neck gaiter as well as as follows.

1. Use as a beanie.
You can use it as a beanie by putting the neck gaiter on your head and tucking the excess part of the top of the head inside.

2. Use as a hair band.
When using it as a hair band, wear it as it is, and bundle the excess part to a suitable width as shown in the image and use it to cover your ears. The pattern is devised so that a little hisashi can be done.

The front side is cotton sheeting and the inside is fleece-like, so it traps a lot of warm air. In addition, since it is woven in a grid, moisture can be efficiently transmitted through the gaps in the grid. It is a highly functional material with excellent heat retention and moisture permeability.

Made with New Zealand Merino

The use of merino wool from New Zealand is proof that it is "non-mulesing wool". "Mulsing" is the cutting of the rump skin and meat from a lamb to prevent the sheep from becoming infested with maggots.

The merino breed, which was bred to obtain as much wool as possible, has a wide skin area and deep wrinkles on the skin. In the worst case, maggots can eat the skin and meat, leading to death.
"Mulsing" is a means to prevent it, but there are cases where no anesthesia and scar treatment are performed.

New Zealand banned such cruel mulesing from October 2018. Using New Zealand Merino is also using wool raw materials suitable for animal welfare.

100% merino wool and washable.

Pre-shrunk processing is applied over several processes to prevent fabric shrinkage after washing as much as possible.
Even so, as long as it is a natural fiber, it will inevitably experience some degree of shrinkage and skew. Please refer to the following care method to use the product for a longer time.

・Please use detergent for wool when washing.
・Please turn the product inside out and put it in a laundry net and wash it separately.
・The water temperature should be limited to 40°C, and avoid washing with hot water.
・Avoid strong currents when washing. When washing by hand or using a washing machine, please use the "dry course" or "weak water course".
・Never tumble dry.
・After dehydration, we recommend reshaping and drying in the shade.
・If you do not wear it for a long time, please store it with an insect repellent after removing the dirt.
