A snood is the fashion and winter version of the tube scarf: knitted or fleece, soft and warm, worn loosely around the neck. A neck gaiter is a thinner, stretchy sports tube in performance fabric, worn over the face for running, cycling or skiing. We make both; see our [neck gaiters](https://mrbalaclava.com/balaclavas/neck-gaiter-manufacturer/). Because a snood has no ends, it stays in place during activity and is quick to put on, which makes it popular for children, outdoor wear and winter sports fans. A double layer or a fleece lining adds warmth without bulk. - **Winter fashion** Chunky knitted snoods in seasonal colours and stripes. - **Kids ranges** Snoods without loose ends, easy for children to put on and wear. - **Outdoor and ski retail** Fleece and fleece-lined snoods for hiking, skiing and cold-weather work. - **Fan and team merchandise** Knitted jacquard or printed snoods in club colours.

Larger runs are made on the same lines, with a monthly capacity of around 100,000 pieces. **### What is the difference between a snood and an infinity scarf?** A snood is a short tube that sits close to the neck in one layer.

We make kids and adult snoods, as one size or graded to your own size chart. **### How long does snood production take?** Standard production lead time is approximately 14 days after sample approval.
