Neck warmers for bikers

The weak point

Between the bottom of the helmet and the collar of the jacket, the neck remains an exposed area: the wind from speed rushes in and cools the whole body, the throat and shoulders. The neck gaiter fills this space. It is often the first winter accessory that motorcyclists adopt, as the difference in comfort is immediate, from the first chill of autumn.

Against rain and cold

The rain and cold equipment is also available in different forms:

• Gaiters.
• Underwear.
• Heated gloves.
• Rain gear.

The entire range is gathered on the rain and cold page.

Windproof or fleece

The windproof membrane models windproof, like the Rev'it Freeze or the Wrapp, completely block cold air, with a front panel that descends over the upper chest. The fleece or thermal fabric models, like the Ixon Thermal or Rusty Stitches, softer, are suitable for mid-season. The children's neck gaiter Alpinestars protects young off-road riders.

The right fit

A neck gaiter should be thin enough not to interfere with the closing of the jacket collar or compress the throat, and high enough to rise under the helmet. Some fasten with a Velcro strap, easier to adjust with gloves. To also cover the head, the gaiter takes over in severe cold. It should be washed regularly, as sweat accumulates on it.

Good deals

Great deals can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent within 24 hours. The key events of the year follow a regular pattern: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best neck gaiter for winter motorcycling?

In severe cold, a windproof membrane neck gaiter, lined with fleece, is the most effective: it blocks the cold air between the helmet and jacket. Models that descend over the chest also cover the upper torso.

How to wear a neck gaiter under a motorcycle helmet?

Put on the neck gaiter before the helmet, then tuck its lower part into the jacket collar to close off the wind. It should not interfere with the chin strap or ride up on the chin to push the helmet padding.

Neck gaiter or gaiter, what to choose for winter motorcycling?

The neck gaiter slips on and off in one motion, with the helmet removed, and is sufficient for most winter rides. The gaiter also protects the skull and ears, but requires removing the helmet to take it off: it is suitable for long journeys in severe cold.

Is a neck gaiter useful for motorcycling in summer?

In summer, a lightweight breathable neck gaiter protects the nape from the sun and the throat from insects and dust, without overheating. Moisturized before departure, it even provides a pleasant cooling sensation.

Which neck gaiter to choose for a child passenger?

Choose a size-appropriate model, like the child neck gaiter Alpinestars, which covers the neck well without rising in front of the face. A child passenger, being less active than the rider, cools down quickly: neck protection is all the more important.
