Winter Gaiter Tips
The eclipse Gaiter, A Strong Choice for Wintry Days
Our Gaiters combine sun protection and stretch in an adaptable form designed for cold, windy conditions.
The Gaiter’s stretch and fit allow you to pull it up over your nose and mouth, creating a comfortable wind-blocking face shield that helps reduce cold air intrusion.
Its yoke neckline extends coverage to the upper chest and back of the neck, minimizing gaps where snow or wind can sneak in under your jacket collar.
Tips to maximize using the eclipse Gaiter in snow conditions
- Pull it up fully. Wear it over your face to protect against cold wind and blowing snow.
- Layer for warmth. On very cold days, pair it with an insulating layer such as a thin fleece buff or neck warmer.
- Seal the edges. Make sure your jacket collar, hood and helmet overlap well so wind and snow can’t sneak inside.
- Vent when needed. If you overheat while climbing or during sun exposure, pull it down or open a jacket vent.
- Dry it out at breaks. Snow melt or sweat can reduce performance (it will not reduce sun protection performance); air it out when you stop.
- Test your fit. Try it on with your helmet and goggles before real ski days to ensure it doesn’t create pressure points or interfere with seals.
Thoughtfully designed for movement, layering and protection; the eclipse Gaiter is a reliable part of a winter kit whether you’re skiing, hiking or simply spending time outside on cold, bright or overcast days.
