As described above, the climate where and when you normally golf should be a primary consideration in choosing the right neck warmer. Mild weather and intense sun call for a lightweight but sun-protective gaiter, while cold regions may require a thicker thermal neck warmer or even a balaclava. Beyond this consideration, the biggest factor for most people will be personal style — you can choose from simple, traditional neck warmers courtesy of your favorite golf brands to gaiters with fun, creative patterns from outside the golf world if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd.
