How to wear a neck gaiter to protect against Covid
We spoke to experts to find out whether neck gaiters are effective against Covid, and rounded up some top-rated options based on their advice.
Available in S/M and L/XL, this fleece gaiter from Under Armour is designed specifically for movement and colder temperatures, according to the brand. It has three layers: A spacer fabric layer for structure and improved airflow, an open-cell foam layer to block particles and an antimicrobial UA Iso-Chill layer that feels cool on the skin.
If you plan on using a neck gaiter while walking around outside, this one from Etsy says it blocks 98 percent of UV rays and is designed to wick away moisture during the warmer months. This gaiter is designed to be used with replaceable PM2.5 activated carbon filters, and the brand says the filter should be replaced after 7 days at most.
This unisex neck gaiter also has a double-layered insert for disposable PM2.5 activated carbon filters. It’s designed with both an adjustable strap in the back and an adjustable nose bridge for a more secure fit.
This gaiter is 95 percent cotton and 5 percent spandex for a protective but slightly more comfortable fit. It has an optional filter pocket that you can fill with the reusable filter of your choice, and it comes in either Asphalt or Black.
