Product Highlight: The Gaiter

Written by College Hill | Jul 20, 2020 9:03:51 PM

Meet our product of the year: the gaiter.

You may also know this as a buff, branded bandana or a neck gaiter. We've loved these for outdoor activities for years, but 2020's COVID-19 facial covering mandates put them back on our radar in a whole new way. Let's take a look at why this is the perfect all-in-one solution.

If you're looking for masks to serve a specific function, we've got masks, but we especially love the gaiter because of its versatility. There are a dozen ways to wear this piece and countless reasons why.

Protection From the Elements 
The gaiter will serve you well on any dusty hike (or at a dusty music festival - we miss you, Coachella!). It'll also keep you protected from the beating sun on summer fishing trips or from icy winds on a cold ski run in the winter. These are also great for fall/winter sporting events, when you're freezing, well, everywhere. 

Comfort
The gaiter is made from a comfortable, sweat-wicking, stretchy fabric that you can adjust and fold. If you're wearing it as a facial covering, this is especially valuable - you won't find it tugging on your ears and getting bunched up in your mouth. 

Style
We can get really creative with your gaiter color and design. We're a big fan of repeating patterns of words or logos, but we can also do a more intricate and colorful design to fit your style and brand. 

A Sense of Belonging 
We love custom merchandise because it helps create and/or cultivate a team mentality for any type of group. Your group members, employees, clients or teammates would love to help represent your organization or business in the community, in all seasons and for all occasions. This is a timeless piece that will also earn your brand countless impressions.

Facial Covering Mandates
While we wish we were solely sporting gaiters for football games or skiing, let's be honest - most of us are using them to adhere to statewide facial covering mandates. While gaiters are not medical grade and cannot guarantee any level of protection from a virus, having an added layer of protection is vital as we're all doing our part to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our communities. Even if your state or city doesn't have a facial covering mandate, they are required on airplanes and in many public places nationwide, at least for the time being. And hey, once this is all over, you can use this for football games, skiing and so much more. 

P.S. These wash up really well!
