For me as cyclist and runner the #6 – NAROO F5 Neck Gaiter would be my weapon of choice. Due to the fact that it would the most allround mask to use in my case and like the way the mask is secured arround the ears, so it can not be moved when i am sporting.

X9 and z5h are the best even though z5h is not here.

Both having anti-fog technology and keeps neck away from cold.

Personally I found the X9 or even a Balaclava to be really good when I’m out riding in London. ensure no wind goes in those softs spots in your neck. For me the balaclava keeps my ears warm whilst protecting me as i can still comfortably wear my helmet.
