This gaiter is made from great poly pro material,however it is way too short. About 50% shorter in comparison to what my unit actually issued. I was looking for a replacement for my old one...this ain't it! The width is dead on but the length just won't do. It would have helped greatly if the actual dimensions were posted in the product description. The picture is very misleading. 5519 Black Polypropylene Thermal Neck Gaiter BLACK
Well, The picture shows the gaiter looking comfortable, and roomy and long.
but in actuality someone must have used a child's sized mannequin head. because the gaiter i received is not that roomy nor is it that long, its a very tight fit to the face, almost too tight. and when covering the nose and ears the gaiter rises an inch or 2 above the neck. Too Tight Too Short.
My face and head features are probably different from yours. but the above aforementioned was my experience.
Where I live the temp gets below zero, with a much worse windchill. With wind that cold, this is the perfect item to help cover exposed skin. I personally love them. I gave 4 stars in lieu of 5 because I had a slightly different design in the military that I found better. The one I was issued was perfect in that it was longer (would cover from below to collar up to the nose) and it was elastisized (so it stuck to you to keep the wind completely out).
I used my at work a few weeks ago when it was really cold outside. I had to spend several hours outside and the polypropylene gaiter came in very handy. It kept my face, ears, and neck warm. I would recommend this to others. The foliage green is perfect for the new ACU/ABU uniform.
I'm not sure why people are complaining about this item being too short. The length and width is dead on. Maybe no one knows you can UNFOLD it? It measures up exactly the same as my GI gaiter. Plus this is Rothco which IS a military distributor... - Motorcyling Neck Warmer - Neck Warmers - Neck Gaiter - Gaiter'
