Tilak® Alpha Polartec® Alpha® neck gaiter

The Tilak Alpha Polartec Alpha neck gaiter is a simple piece of gear that addresses warmth and breathability exactly where it's most needed. Lightweight, compact and instantly ready for use whether on the move or at a stop. The Alpha Direct material actively works with heat, so moisture doesn't accumulate and the neck stays comfortable even during increased exertion. With its variable wearing options, it easily adapts to weather, terrain and pace. A small accessory that has surprisingly great significance in the field.

Active insulation around the neck

Polartec Alpha Direct is fully functional even in this simple form. While in motion, it wicks away excess heat and moisture, and when it cools down, it helps maintain stable thermal comfort. Thus, the neck gaiter not only serves as passive protection but actively responds to changes in intensity. The result is less need for removal and reapplication during activity.

Lightweight without movement restriction

The minimalist design focuses on low weight and maximum freedom. Alpha doesn’t choke, doesn’t restrict breathing and doesn’t take up space in a backpack or jacket pocket. It's ready for immediate use without complicated adjustments. Exactly what’s expected from accessories for movement.

Multiple ways to wear

The simple shape allows for several usage variations depending on the current conditions. It protects the neck in the wind, can serve as light face protection or as an accessory under a jacket collar. Thanks to the material’s elasticity, it stays in place and adapts without the need for adjustments.

Breathability as a main advantage

The open structure of the material allows for quick moisture wicking and limits the feeling of overheating. Even during intense movement, the neck stays dry and comfortable. This is appreciated during ascents, fast hiking and long treks in variable weather.

Fair material use

Alpha Direct is not built for mechanical stress. The neck gaiter is not intended for dense foliage or under heavy straps. However, with regular use in mountains and terrain, it offers long-term stable functional properties and reliable comfort.
