A spin-off of the original Foraging Bandana, the Foraging Neck Gaiter was designed for those who want a field-reference tool that also provides quick and efficient protection from the elements. The Foraging Neck Gaiter is Made in the USA and provides neck and face coverage during any season, while on the trail, river, or while foraging.

    We designed this print to act as a learning primer, field aid, and emergency reference for all levels of foragers.

    Foraging Neck Gaiter

    It was a great concept but the writing is a little small for my old eyes. I think the bandana would have been a better choice for me.
