Nike ACG Reversible UV Trail Neck Wrap vs Buff Lightweight Merino Wool Neck Gaiter

Buy the Buff Lightweight Merino Wool Neck Gaiter for cool-weather running, hiking and everyday wear. It is warmer, softer for most wearers, naturally odor-resistant and wears ten ways. Buy the Nike ACG USA Reversible UV Trail Running Neck Wrap for hot, sunny runs where UV protection and a synthetic fabric that shrugs off sweat matter more than warmth. Reviewers call the Buff warm and versatile but note scratchiness, holes after months and shrinkage; the Nike is the tougher pick for heat and sun, though it is hand-wash only.

• Choose the Nike ACG USA Reversible UV Trail Running Neck Wrap if you run in heat and sun and want a light, sweat-friendly wrap with UV protection.
• Choose the Buff Lightweight Merino Wool Neck Gaiter if you want one soft, warm, odor-resistant layer for cool weather that works as a scarf, beanie, headband or balaclava.
