Minus33 makes a merino wool neck gaiter for $21.99. They have pretty good stuff. It is black if it matters.

Good luck

First Lite makes merino wool neck gaiters in various colors/camo patterns (ASAT, dry earth, black, Mossy Oak maybe, one or two others).  A bit expensive (usually run $35).

I've seen some fleece neck gaiters in various local stores (Academy, Dick's Sporting Goods, etc), but they're always in black, which I don't wear when hunting except on the rare occasion I'm in a pop-up blind.

I just use a shemagh as it has a lot of other uses as well.

I have a merino wool "Buff", it is pretty lightweight but the weave/knit is very good and keeps you warm. It is very comfy and works good as a facemask, headcover, etc.

I also have an army surplus one I bought off some website. Nice and big, not as quality wool as the Buff.

There are hard hat liners made of fleece that work perfectly for a neck gaiter, not wool but they are warm and soft. I just put one out to pack for a fly fishing trip. You should be able to find them at an Industrial Supply House.

Well, This is good timing.
We have been working on a gaiter type neck warmer and a scarf.
I hope to have a finished model of each for you all to check out today or Probably Friday/Saturday.
I will start a new post and link it here when I get ready for a photo,

Thank you and Merry Christmas.
