Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Echo Ubertube

Great neck sleeve made with thin cloth so it's not too hot. Lets you breath without collecting humidity. It's nice to just have around the neck and pull up easily when you need it.

This neck gaiter is great. I had an old fleece one, that was just TOO hot. And I couldn't fully zip up jackets when wearing it. This is wonderful. And it can be used in so many different 'arrangements'. Neck, up over mouth, up over nose, up over head. And when you breathe through it, it doesn't fog your goggles or sun glasses. Excellent. The fabric is very thin. Perfect.

Really great for hiking, it could be a good protection for sun or cold. Light material.

Great lightweight buff

Love the length. I usually wear while hiking but mostly use during ski season. Covered better and better breath-ability then the balaclavas I've used. The length helps keep neck warm while also being wrapped over the top of the head. Great addition to my gear.

I love this buff! I have 3 of them. The light weight material is perfect for someone who runs hot! I wear them hiking, skiing, and also as an accessory when I want to spruce up an outfit with some color.

Solid for running or hiking, protects from weather or serves as a good sweat wipe, would recommend. Have not tried using in extreme weather, so unsure about use out there.

I love using Buff's as a beanie, but this thing blows Buff out of the water for that purpose. I have a fairly large head which is my issue with Buff. They end up being very small and tight which is nice in warmer weather, but for fuller coverage in cooler temps, the Ubertube is the way to go. I also overheated in the buff whereas this thing balance coverage/protection and breathability perfectly. Great high exertion accessory.

Wonderfully breathable for use on a glacier when protection is needed on your face. Great eye mask for sleeping or headband. Good print too.

I actually cut my ubertube into strips to use as multiple headbands. I have to wear a hard hat at work and a layer of this material under my hat keeps sweat from dripping into my eyes and it limits how much the helmet rubs on my head. The best part is that it dries so quick, I can take it off while having a break and it is dry enough to put back on and soak up more sweat. You can use yours in many other ways that would work for your situation because it is incredibly versatile.

Backcountry skiing

I work as a rope tech hanging off a windmill outside everyday. This buff is magic under my helmet. It absorbs sweat when its hot and I can pull it down over my ears when the wind picks up. It drys quick when I remove it and does't get stale after a short amount of time like other buffs. I am gonna order a couple more of these.

Solid piece of gear. I won't leave home with out it. It packs so small it just lives in my every day Jacket (the uberlayer, coincidentally). Makes a great layer under a bike or ski helmet. Breathes well. I bought another just in case.

Great weight for keeping protected from the hot sun and moderate insulation values when temps dip

Awesome face protection for the winter mtn. Dries really fast. I wear these in one to three layers on my face depending how cold it is out.

Good option for a light weight headtube. I often use the Echo tripled over as a headband under a climbing helmet or skiing up, or full length pulled up on the head for under a ski helmet. Better quality than many similar products out there.

I use this product at home as a hair band or while camping, hiking and traveling. I love this colour!

I wear it daily in the cold to maintain comfort. Wish It were wool. I thought was when I ordered it. But it works well enough

I love 'buffs' in general (is that the real name?) and was excited to try the ubertube. These are now my favourite buffs particularly for when I'm exercising. They're the best I've used for wicking sweat, they're comfortable, and so far there are no signs of durability issues. I have a big head and these still fit fine in the 'beany' configuration, which is predominantly how I use them. I have the Lumen Ubertube as well and would use it as a fall/winter neck-warmer over these because of the wool. These are meant to be lighter and more summery anyways and serve their purpose well.

I use this product on almost every outing- as a headband/sweatband when backpacking to neck and face sun shield when I'm rock climbing. I have yet to find another that breathes and fights order so well.

I have one of these in each of my backpacks, car, camping stuff. They are great for wind, snow and sun. So many uses.

Comfortable and versatile in the number of ways you can use it. It does hold in a bit of heat that I notice when it's overcast,, but in direct sun it keeps the sun off so keeps you cooler. Dunk it in a Creek and you've got built-in air conditioning. Also a nice layer of warmth in cooler weather. Headband, hat, first aid wrap, holder of wild huckleberries, doll sleeping bag for your child.

I used my Ubertube on multi-day backpacking and camping trips in Hawaii this summer while conducting fieldwork. I wanted something to keep the hair out of my eyes while working, to wipe sweat off my face on sweltering, long hiking days, and to cover my grimy hair at the end of a dirty week in the field. It was perfect for all of those uses and more. When not using it, I would just wear it around my neck. The fabric is so thin and lightweight that I would actually forget I even had it on. And somehow, it never developed an odor! I will definitely bring this on all future backpacking trips.

I use these when I wear scratchy sweaters, to keep the wool off my delicate neck parts. It works well and is nice and thin but sturdy.
