Backpackers need products that can fill mutiple roles. Why carry two or three seperate items, when one, can do everything you need? Introducing the Mutlitool! Made from Polartec Alpha Direct fabric, this neck gaiter is a fantastic neck gaiter, but wait... its a balaclava, and a perfect beanie too. That is some crazy functionality for a product that weighs one ounce or less!
For beanie mode, turn the gaiter inside out, pull into your head until the bottom edge is right where you like it. Twist the remaining fabric one full rotation, then reflect the top half down over the bottom half. BAM! And it can just stay in that mode for as long as you want. What's also fantastic about this is, you are doubling up the fabric thickness so, 60gsm fabric becomes a 120gsm beanie. Even at 60gsm it's insanely warm.
Over your face, the breathability of Alpha Direct barely resticts the movement of air in and out of your lungs. Basically, it feels like you have nothing over your face but, you still get a ton of insulation out out of it.
Available in 60 and 90gsm weights.
The Multitool comes in two sizes:
S/M for head circumfrences 22.5 inches or less.
M/L for head circumfrences 22.5 inches or more.
**measure just above eyes and ears around thickest part of skull**
Weights:
60 gsm S/M 19 grams or .64 ounces
60 gsm M/L 21 grams or .75 ounces
90 gsm S/M 26 grams or .92 ounces
90 gsm M/L 28 grams or 1.02 ounces
Reviews
Bought a black 90gsm M/L one. used it as a beanie and it's very warm and comfortable even when its windy.
Fits snugly on my head.
It's a neck gaiter, a balaclava, a hat and weighs next to nothing! Easy to put on, but stays where you put it! Well done!!
