Neck gaiters are versatile accessories designed to offer various benefits to anglers, be it to protect from the sun, cold, or simply to add a layer of comfort during sessions. These neck gaiters, often called "buffs", are made from technical materials providing protection against the elements while ensuring optimal breathability.
3 reasons to buy a neck gaiter for fishing:
1.
Sun Protection: Neck gaiters are effective at protecting the neck and nape from the sun's harmful UV rays, providing an additional barrier against sunburn. Look for neck gaiters with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) sun protection for maximum protection against UV rays.
2.
Thermal Insulation: Some models are designed to provide light thermal insulation, offering protection against cold and inclement weather.
3.
Versatility: They are versatile and can be worn in different ways, whether as a balaclava, headband, or neck warmer, suited to various fishing conditions.
