Neck Warmers

A neck warmer is one of those pieces of gear that seems minor until you're on a cold chairlift without one — then it becomes the most important thing you don't have. The gap between your helmet and your jacket collar is where cold air gets in. A neck warmer closes it.

We carry 47 neck warmers, balaclavas and face masks from Dakine, Buff, Airblaster, Rojo and more — covering lightweight merino options for mild days through to full balaclava coverage for deep winter conditions. Full range in stock and shipping free Australia-wide.

Tube neck warmers (gaiters) are the most versatile option — they sit around your neck and can be pulled up over your chin and lower face when the wind picks up or you're dropping into a cold run. Most riders wear one all day and barely notice it until they need it. Merino wool versions from Mons Royale and Dakine are the most comfortable for all-day wear — soft against skin, temperature regulating, and they don't get as damp with breath condensation as synthetics.

Full balaclavas cover the head, neck and lower face and are the right call for very cold days, early morning starts in winter conditions, or lift-served freeride where you're in exposed terrain for extended periods. Airblaster makes the definitive snowboard balaclava — it's a cult product in the riding community for good reason.

Face masks with filtration or windproof panels work well for riding in heavy snowfall or wind. A waterproof face panel keeps the driving snow off your lower face without adding the bulk of a full balaclava.

The best time to buy a neck warmer is before you need one. Free shipping Australia-wide, same and next-day dispatch from Melbourne.
