But what makes something deserving of a place on our best neck tubes list?<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, it has to be comfortable. If it has seams they need to be flatlocked, but the fewer the better. Elasticity is key, too, as you want something with enough purchase to stay in the position that you\u2019ve moved it into.<\/p>\n<p>Materials also matter. You can get neck tubes in bamboo, Merino wool or synthetic fibres. Bamboo offers a luxurious amount of comfort, Merino wool is naturally odour-resistant and delivers exceptional warmth, and synthetic fibres can sometimes wick moisture better and last longer.<\/p>\n<p>With all that said, it\u2019s important to find a garment that\u2019s breathable, especially if you\u2019ll be pulling it up over your face. This may be particularly vital if you plan to use your neck tube for both exercise and covering up when abiding by any Covid rules.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Best neck tubes for running and cycling<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Buff Original EcoStretch<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" original=\"\" new=\"\" snood=\"\" rusty=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/220triathlon.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"220triathlon.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 809, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....

As the name suggests, it\u2019s made of 200gsm Merino wool, which delivers the most warmth out of everything on test.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s great if you\u2019re looking for a neck tube that delivers when the mercury really drops or on those frosty morning rides, but we found it a bit warm on milder autumn runs. Being constructed of Merino wool, the product is naturally anti-bacterial and stays warm than wet.<\/p>\n<p>At times, we also found the Merino slightly itchy, as you sometimes do with such a material, meaning the Buff and Bamboo Clothing options won out in the comfort stakes. Breathability and wind protection was impressive, while elasticity also showed no signs of faltering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict: A great option for colder climes, but not quite as comfortable as a couple of the others on test. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Score: 83%<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-container&quot;\" data-position=\"&quot;adhoc&quot;\" hidden=\"\"> <h5 class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-title\" monetizer-title=\"\" style=\"&quot;background-color:\" color:=\"\">Latest deals<\/h5> <div id=\"&quot;monetizer__deals&quot;\" data-type=\"&quot;price-comparison&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;shopId&quot;:&quot;809&quot;,&quot;market&quot;:&quot;gbp_en&quot;,&quot;template&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;searchKeywords&quot;:&quot;Dhb\" merino=\"\" neck=\"\" tube=\"\"\/> <div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text\" body-copy-extra-small=\"\" editor-content=\"\"\/><\/div> <h3><strong>Artilect Darkhorse Neck Tube<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" darkhorse=\"\" neck=\"\" tube=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/220triathlon.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"220triathlon.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 809, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....

The latter is a fabric we\u2019ve not had experience with before, but it\u2019s claimed to dry five times faster than conventional wool, have 35% more elasticity, have 50% more tensile strength and 35% more thermal retention.<\/p>\n<p>Without running controlled scientific tests we can\u2019t verify all of these claims, but we can comment on how the fabric feels for the end user compared to other products on the market.<\/p>\n<p>On that note, the Darkhorse Neck Tube is certainly comfortable to wear, with none of the itchiness you sometimes get with Merino. The presence of flatlock seams is also welcomed, but the number of them does mean that competitors such as Buff and Bamboo Clothing edge the Artilect where comfort is concerned.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of warmth and breathability, the Darkhorse Neck Tube performed exactly as we\u2019d hoped. It ventilates well, too, thanks to special mesh panels that make it easier to breathe through. Like most Merino, it\u2019s naturally odour-resistant, stays warm when wet and dries incredibly quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict: Very expensive for a neck tube, but the Nuyarn fabric works a treat. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Score: 90%<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-container&quot;\" data-position=\"&quot;adhoc&quot;\" hidden=\"\"> <h5 class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-title\" monetizer-title=\"\" style=\"&quot;background-color:\" color:=\"\">Latest deals<\/h5> <div id=\"&quot;monetizer__deals&quot;\" data-type=\"&quot;price-comparison&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;shopId&quot;:&quot;809&quot;,&quot;market&quot;:&quot;gbp_en&quot;,&quot;template&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;searchKeywords&quot;:&quot;Artilect\" darkhorse=\"\" neck=\"\" tube=\"\"\/> <div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text\" body-copy-extra-small=\"\" editor-content=\"\"\/><\/div> <h2><strong>Also consider<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Buff Merino Wool Functional Headwear<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" merino=\"\" wool=\"\" multi=\"\" functional=\"\" headwear=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/220triathlon.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"220triathlon.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 809, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....
