Looking for some new neck gaiters. I do not understand why these cost $30-40 or more for name brands.

I can buy them for a fraction of that on ebay or etsy, but it's a total crapshoot what I'll get.

This seems to be a trend.

@billyjoebowers I got curious so I started looking these up - Patagonia's costing $35 makes sense. They're made in a fair trade factory, with certified sustainable material. But North Face doesn't provide the same certifications/labor guarantees, and sell them for $25? And all the options on Dicks Sporting Goods are basically the same price bracket? Fuck that. That's a scam.

No matter what it is, it's just one small piece of fabric. Functional fabric. It's not like a fancy tie or handkerchief or something.

@billyjoebowers If it’s for biking I tend to use Halo skull caps with flaps as my summer sun defense. Mostly because I sweat so much I need the little drainage thingy at the front that protects my sunglasses from getting rained on on the inside of the lenses.

Nice. I wear them for biking, but I wear them to cover and hold on my mask. Basically an everyday accessory.

@billyjoebowers Gotcha. Different use case then!
