Description
Issued Army Neck Gaiter
This is the US Army's own neck gaiter: a stretch tube of polyester and Lycra worn around the neck and pulled up over the lower face when wind, dust, sun or cold gets in. It replaces a scarf or bandana with one piece that stays in place and packs down to almost nothing. Soldiers, hunters, riders and collectors of genuine issue kit will all find a use for it.
Features
- Genuine USGI Issue — USGI means US Government Issue, so this gaiter was made for and supplied to the US military, not built for the civilian market.
- Polyester And Lycra Knit — Polyester gives the fabric its body, and Lycra adds the stretch that lets the tube fit closely around the neck and face.
- Tube Construction — A single closed loop with no ties or fasteners, so you pull it over your head and adjust it by hand.
- Stitched Hems — Both open ends are finished with sewn hems that keep the edges from curling or fraying.
- Tan Colorway — The muted tan shade sits easily alongside earth-tone uniforms and field gear.
- NSN 8440-01-387-8509 — The National Stock Number, the military's catalogue identifier, is printed on the label and confirms exactly which issue item this is.
- Contract-Marked Label — The sewn-in tag names the maker, Meke, Inc., and contract number SPM1C1-13-D-1010.
- Packs Small — The thin knit folds or rolls into a pocket or pack pouch when you are not wearing it.
Contract And Markings
Meke, Inc. produced this gaiter under US government contract SPM1C1-13-D-1010, and the label identifies it as "Gaiter, Neck" along with its NSN. Those markings are how collectors and reenactors tell issued kit from commercial lookalikes. The cut, fabric blend and color are the military's specification, so what you get is the gaiter that went into Army supply.

Doesn't stink after one wearActually bought this because I was tired of scarves coming untucked, flapping in wind, getting caught in kit. Figured it'd be a winter-only item, something for range days and hunting, probably too warm for anything else. Expected scratchy wool like old Army blankets, maybe too bulky under a collar. Then I discovered it's also perfect for: my morning commute when I don't want to look like I'm tactical but need warmth, my "professional" look under a peacoat that hides the military origin, as a sleep mask and ear warmer in hotel rooms, and honestly just the versatility pull it up, pull it down, never adjust, never lose it. T Construction is legit. Mine's been through maybe 50 washes, worn daily in winter, stuffed in pockets, used as an emergency coffee filter once. No pilling, no stretched-out shape, the elasticity is still snappy. The length is perfect, covers neck to nose without bunching, doesn't ride up or sag down.

Look elsewhereSorry, I don't like this version......scratchy, stretched out, like a cloth paper sack.
It blocks wind
Shapeless, cold, uncomfortable

lightweight, no bulk
a bit scratchy

Not a great quality. Loses its stretchiness easily.Good customer service.

A lifetime supply of the real deal no compromises.This neck gator is exactly as I remember from my Marine Corps days (2004–2008) authentic, durable, and unmatched in quality. After years of testing inferior alternatives, this is the only one that matches the original specs. So impressed, I bought seven to ensure I’m never without it.
