lol, that’s fashion accessory, not a cold weather neck gaiter.

A proper neck gaiter provides element protection from wind and water cooling. It’s made with wind blocking material, not like his fine polyester knit - that material is best used for making panties.

If you wore that 'buff' thing on a sled, you'd come home with a black neck. Wouldn't be much good on a bike once if temps are below 10C.

I use to make them by the thousands, the inexpensive version had a polyurethane film stitched in between 2 layers of polar fleece, the expensive ones were a single layer of windproof fleece.

Fleece lined neoprene can work too. Normally needs a velcro closure though as it isn't stretchy enough to go over your head and lay close to your neck.

Neoprene is a viable fabric too, it tends to be USD in the more when structure is important. It can be formed or sewn into shapes, like a breath beak, where soft-handed fabric would get soppy wet against your skin.
