Our take on the ACTIV
The ACTIV is a lightweight, breathable neck gaiter made from recycled fabric and screen-printed in a workshop in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse. It is built as a multifunctional layer against wind, sun and cold, and packs small enough for a trail or hiking bag. It is a simple accessory rather than a technical garment, so it competes on fabric weight and breathability more than on features. Owners rate it highly, though the sample of ratings is small.
