Scarf or Gaiter

A scarf, or neck gaiter is recommended for all participants.

• It gets cold at East Wind and you can bleed off a lot of heat out in the field, or on night guard duty. A neck wrap, such as a USGI scarf, or poly pro neck gaiter will help you keep warm.
• Wool and poly pro will insulate, even when wet. Do not depend on cotton, as it loses its insulating properties almost instantly when moist.
• Scarves and neck gaiters are easily obtained, and will not break the bank. Look for these items in OD green, brown and black.
• Shemaghs and other similar covers are allowed, and will work, but are not especially compatible with the impression that we are depicting.
