A neck warmer is one of those pieces of gear that seems minor until you're on a cold chairlift without one — then it's the most important thing you don't have. The gap between your helmet and jacket collar is where cold air gets in; a neck warmer closes it. We carry neck warmers, balaclavas and face masks from Dakine, Buff, Airblaster, Rojo and more — free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $90.
Frequently Asked Questions
A tube neck warmer, or gaiter, is the most versatile. It sits around your neck and pulls up over your chin and lower face when the wind picks up. Merino versions are the most comfortable for all-day wear and do not get as damp with breath condensation as synthetics.
A neck warmer covers most conditions. A full balaclava is the right call for genuinely cold days, early winter starts, or exposed lift-served riding where you sit in wind for long stretches. If you ride Japan or a cold early season, it is worth owning one.
Because the neck warmer is pushing the goggle away from your face at the nose, which creates a gap and lets warm breath into the lens. Make sure the neck warmer sits under the goggle strap and does not lift the goggles off your cheeks.
Face masks add filtration or windproof panels and a waterproof face panel, which keeps driving snow off your lower face without the bulk of a full balaclava. A neck warmer is simpler and more versatile for everyday riding.
