This neck gaiter is made of the highest quality material, is very soft and flexible. Most gaiters are uncomfortable to wear in the sun as they hand a very tight fit, almost restrictive. However, Hanzo Tackle's next gaiter is super soft, very flexible and breathable, all while offering 50 UPF sun protection. Cant beat that! The stitching is impeccable, the quality unmatched! So much so that Hanzo Tackle guarantees the fabric will hold up for continual use all summer. We do not know of any other gaiter manufacturer that will offer such a strong guarantee for a neck gaiter!
