CoolibarUPF 50+ Men's Women's Key West Sun Neck Gaiter - Sun Protective

This keeps me cool in the summer and is just enough to help keep me warm in the winter. The material is perfect and not itchy at all unlike other brands I have tried and it is loose enough to not feel like I am being chocked. I just purchased a second one this year because I like it so much. The original is a few years old now and still going strong.

This is a great product. Does just what it says on the tin. And when I climb into a broiling hot car in Texas and drive around without air conditioning, this fabric is breathable enough that it's not an extra burden.BUT. As other reviewers have said: you gotta really want it. Getting in and out of this thing is a CHORE, and I have some bad news if you had any illusions about your facial sunscreen/hairstyle/makeup still being in place after you work it on or off of you. (Also I have herniated discs in my cervical spine, so wrestling with this garment can be literally painful.)If they would design this with a soft flexible strip of velcro down one side so the on/off process would be *wrapping yourself in and out of this* instead of repeatedly smothering your face with a long fabric tube, LIFE WOULD BE SO GOOD.My only other quibble is that unless you're wearing a shirt collar that's very close to your neck, at the bottom this leaves exposed parts of your neck/shoulder where it splits at the sides. Which is perfectly logical; you can see the design in the product photos. I just didn't realize it would be an issue for me.Unlike some other reviewers this stayed up well enough for me. I have a pretty long and slender neck, went with the S/M, and am satisfied with the staying power; in my experience, it bunches up enough to hold itself up.In sum: good product, annoying design choices were made.

The gaiter looks like it would provide good sun protection, if it stayed up. But the size "Large - Extra Large" sagged on my size 15 1/2 inch neck. It was simply way too loose. I normally take a size 16 neck shirt. I'm going to order the smaller size and see how that fits.

I bought this before I bought sun protective hats. I like the hats better. This is too hot for me.

I live in Miami, and Im outside all the time. Needed something to protect my neck and ears, and face if possible. I have all kinds of hats, and have been wearing one with the back flap on it. I still get sunburn with that hat on (material is thin, and the sun can still reflect or shine in from the sides and front). Going on a golf trip soon, and wanted better protection, and found Coolibar. This is the simple neck gaiter, which can be worn just around the neck like their picture show, or can be pulled up over the top of your head like the pic I attached here. I have a big head, and it pulls up fine, and is not constricting or uncomfortable. I can even pull the bottom part up over my face some. The material stays cool, and is thick enough to keep the sun from penetrating. I wore it golfing a couple days ago and it did fine, no issues with heat, sweat, or fit. Will buy another one so I can rotate and wash.

Like this overall, but concerned as well about one aspect of it. It was a bit tighter than expected, however, the very top of it is actually pretty open/flops down a bit, which is concerning b/c I expect that area to provide sun protection and it's not going to if it isn't covering that area of my neck. In other words, the top half of my neck is exposed to the sun/elements while the bottom half and décolletage/top of back is protected. I have not yet used this on a sunny day for a walk/outside (where I am it is cold/not sunny at the moment) but I am just speaking for it in terms of fit/overall. I like the fact that the color looks as described/as shown when I ordered it. I like the fact that it is fitted at least in part, on my neck, and that it offers more protection below the neck.

Sadly, this product did not make the cut for me! A sm/med was too snug (I’m 5’4” and 149 lbs… curvy, but not heavy). Definitely not a thick neck… lol.Needed it for motorcycle riding (ongoing battle with skin cancer). Wanted the ‘slits’ to drop over my shoulders. Nope. Material was hot, heavy, and clingy in the 30 seconds I had it on.Perhaps a larger size would have been more comfortable?? Still heavy.Returned.

I work in the sun daily during peek sun exposure hours 10-2. This product has saved my neck from being as red as a lobster. I love how it is made to tuck into your shirt so you don’t have to worry about it rising and exposing your skin. My only drawback is that the material is heavy and thick. But that is worth not getting burned. Highly recommend this product.
