DeFeet strangles the cold with upcoming Dickadee neck gaiter

or … you could pack a light wind vest (of which, there are like a million options already on the market) that crushes into a pouch the size of your fist and slips away into a back pocket like it’s not even there.

I don’t really see a need for the chest piece. I’ve got a cheap $10 Amazon fleece neck gaiter that works just fine. I can wear base layers, jerseys, vests and jackets to protect my chest. I have a neck gaiter for my neck and face, not my chest.

Jksane – do you have a vest that allows you to pull up an cover your chin/mouth from the cold? Or be removed when it warms up? If so that be cool! I have three vests currently and none of them have those features. Also, how cold you you do road rides?

Ck – my other neck gaiters (I have two plus a silk scarf as well) are more traditional ‘tubes’ and don’t really come down this far but this feature is nice in that it allows for overlap to prevent a draft. I wear baselayers as well to protect my chest but this feature feels a lot like my gloves/sleeves/armwarmers overlapping rather than just stopping where they meet each other. It’s mostly a neck gaiter and only extends a couple inches down the chest. I hope that clarifies. ps. If you get your cycling accessories/socks on amazon then DeFeet may not be the brand for you. They make everything in North Carolina and support quite a bit of local and grassroots cycling events/teams/etc.

I’m the field tester on this product so keep the questions (or criticisms) coming. Otherwise have a great day!

@someslowguy – Thanks for poor assumption of my purchasing preferences based on one item. You’re just a wonderful person for DeFeet to have around to test their products.
