Särmä TST L1 Neck Tube, Merino Wool

Not your average loose-fitting "buff", but a proper toque. This neck gaiter was designed especially to be tight fitting to keep it up and securely against your neck. Lightweight merino wool construction, highly breathable, comfortable, and moisture-wicking.

• Close fit to keep it upright
• Longer front for better coverage
• Flatlock seams, no thick folds that could cause discomfort.
• Double-layered lightweight Merino wool.
• Weight 30 g / 1 oz
• 80/20 merino wool / polyester, 180 g/m².
• Length in the front ~ 28 cm / 11"
• Back length ~ 20 cm / 8"
• 19.5 micron.

As said, this thing is tighter than most similar designs out there. If you have a bigger head (Size EU60 US7.5" or larger), you may find it quite tight to pull over your head. These stretch out a bit over time, and most importantly; when you get it where you want it, it stays there and does its job.

L1 - Base Layer

The first layer of the Särmä TST clothing system, tasked with moisture management. A good next-to-skin base layer keeps you feeling comfortable in any conditions to do this it needs to be lightweight and effectively moisture-wicking. We use a lightweight merino wool blend for our base layers, natural and very functional material for this purpose.

High-quality Merino wool

Made from 80% merino wool and 20% polyester, weight 180 g/m². The polyester content adds abrasion resistance to the otherwise quite weak wool. Merino wool is a fantastic choice for next-to-skin wear, most notably, it feels good against the skin and retains its insulating properties even when soaking wet.

Mulesing free! All our merino wool products are made using mulesing-free certified merino wool.

Made in EU (Lithuania).

Wash and care

This merino wool blend is machine-washable at 40 degrees Celcius, but washing is seldom necessary - wool cleans itself. Don't leave it in a wet lump. Reshape it gently while still damp. When not in use, air the neck tube out and give it a good shake after that.
