Women's Scarves & Neckwear

What types of women's scarves and neckwear are available?

Mountain Designs offers a high quality range of scarf styles and neck gaiters for women to keep you warm and comfortable on cold outdoor adventures. The traditional women’s winter scarf will give you reliable neck warmth to complement your insulation jacket, or you could opt for the highly versatile neck gaiter. Made from the same Merino wool as our scarves, it can be worn several ways, either as a scarf, bandana, sports headband or beanie. Both women’s accessories come as ‘one size fits most’ and in a variety of colours to suit your personal style.

What are the benefits of wearing scarves and neck gaiters when doing outdoor activities?

Most adventurers understand the need to retain core body heat on cold days but those with experience know that taking care of the extremities is vital as well. Scarves and neck gaiters for women help to keep your neck, ears and head warm and comfortable by minimising exposure to the elements. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics, such as the Merino wool used in the Mountain Designs range, help to manage perspiration as you get more active. So if you’re wearing your neck gaiter as a bandana or headband, it will help to remove sweat from your skin in the same way a sports headband works for an athlete.

Are thermal scarves and neck gaiters available for women?

Our scarves and neck gaiters for women are made from a Woolmark® certified Merino wool blend, which has similar thermal regulating properties as our thermals range. The natural structure of the wool fibres traps body heat close to the skin, keeping you warm and snug when conditions outside get cold. The Merino wool blend is also breathable, moisture-wicking and antibacterial, minimising the damp feeling you can get during activity and keeping you fresher for longer. For a winter scarf or neck gaiter that feels great on your skin while delivering high performance, choose from the Mountain Designs range.

Which scarves and neck gaiters are great for the snow?

When you head to the snow, don’t forget to pack a winter scarf or neck gaiter. Our range of scarf styles – the traditional winter scarf and the more versatile neck gaiter – provides dependable warmth and comfort for your ears, neck and head with the thermal-regulating Merino wool trapping body heat. The Merino wool fibres are also breathable, moisture-wicking and quick-drying so if your alpine activity heats up, you’ll stay fresher and drier for longer. 

Which scarves provide protection from the sun?

If you don’t have a sun hat, a winter scarf is a suitable alternative for sun protection for your neck during the cooler months. Our women’s scarves are made from thermal-regulating Merino wool, which will keep you warm while providing coverage for your skin, and are breathable so you won’t feel stuffy.
