Buyer's guide

Snood scarf or neck gaiter?

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.

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.

FAQ

Snoods: frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order for snoods?

The minimum order is 50 pieces per design. 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. An infinity scarf is a longer loop that is wrapped twice and drapes like a scarf; see our infinity scarves.

Can snoods be lined with fleece?

Yes. Knitted snoods can be lined with polar fleece or microfleece for extra warmth, and fleece snoods can be made in a double layer.

Do you make snoods for children?

Yes. 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. Actual lead time depends on the product, quantity, customization and material availability, and the confirmed schedule is agreed for each order. Express shipping by DHL, FedEx or UPS then takes 3–6 working days.
