Why a summer neck warmer is useful
When you go hiking, cycling, trekking, mountain biking, on a nature outing or even on a city stroll in the sun, your neck and nape are often exposed to the sun, wind, insects, dust or pollen. A ‘summer’ neck gaiter is not designed to keep you warm: it is designed to protect, cool, keep moisture at bay and regulate body temperature. With the right materials, a lightweight neck gaiter is a versatile accessory that can protect you from sunburn, irritation, mosquitoes and discomfort — while remaining discreet and comfortable.
What Therm-ic summer neck warmers offer
-
Sun protection & UV protection — Therm-ic's ‘Cool Light’ models offer high sun protection (UPF/SPF 50 depending on the model), blocking most UV rays and protecting the neck, nape of the neck, and exposed skin — a real advantage in the mountains, when hiking, or in bright sunlight.
-
Breathability, lightness & long-lasting comfort — Made from lightweight, technical fabrics, our summer neck warmers are breathable, quick-drying and wick away sweat and moisture, helping you stay cool even in hot weather or during sustained exertion.
-
Protection from insects, dust, wind and allergies — In addition to the sun, the neck warmer plays a useful role against mosquitoes, midges, dust and pollen — common conditions when hiking, camping or enjoying the great outdoors.
-
Versatile and modular — This type of neck gaiter is suitable for many uses: hiking, mountain biking, trail running, cycling, motorcycling, fishing, travelling, walking and even urban use — it can be worn as a neck gaiter, bandana, headband, neck warmer or scarf.
-
Comfort without bulk — Thin, lightweight, compressible, easy to slip into your bag: it's a ‘virtually invisible’ protective accessory when walking, cycling or moving around, and you'll quickly forget you're wearing it — the opposite of a heavy scarf or bulky clothing.
Who are these summer neck warmers for?
- Hikers, trekkers, cyclists, motorcyclists, mountain bikers, walkers — all summer or mid-season outdoor activities.
- Nature lovers, travellers, campers or outdoor enthusiasts — when you want to stay protected from the sun, insects, dust or wind.

- Those looking for a versatile, practical, comfortable and affordable accessory — easy to wear, easy to carry, useful all year round.
Expert advice & best practices
- Wear the neck warmer as soon as the sun gets hot or at high altitudes — The neck and exposed skin are vulnerable to UV rays, even if you don't feel the heat right away.
- Choose models with UV protection and breathable fabrics — To avoid overheating, sweating or discomfort.
- Use the neck warmer as protection against insects or dust — Very practical for hiking, forest walks, wetlands, picnics, etc.
- Carry a neck warmer in your bag — it's light and useful — A small accessory can make all the difference if the weather changes, if you go up to high altitudes, or if you face wind or sun.
- Wash according to the recommendations to preserve the technical properties — synthetic fabrics, drying, gentle care.
