Durability concern with MISSION neck gaiter logo peeling
I saw those at Home Depot today. There was a big display of them. Price was $14.99 which I thought was expensive. The display model had the MISSION logo peeling off... I would say this was closer to like a t-shirt thickness. It wasn't super thin, but it wasn't super thick either. It did stretch pretty well. For the price I don't think it's worth it if the logo starts peeling off that quickly.

User recommends MISSION cooling neck gaiter as a face covering
I bought a MISSION cooling neck gaiter. It's a multi-use gaiter that can be worn as a neck gaiter, headband, face mask, etc. It's chemical-free and machine washable. To activate the cooling, you wet it, wring it out, and wave it in the air. It cools to 30 degrees below average body temperature. I plan on using it for work as a face covering, and I'll easily be able to cool down on my breaks by running it under water. Highly recommend! It's comfortable and adjustable.

General recommendation for neck gaiters in camping, mentions MISSION
Neck gaiters are a godsend and I'd really recommend getting one if you don't have one already. Someone in the thread asked for specific recommendations, another user replied: 'MISSION and Hoo-rag are good.' No specific details on the MISSION brand were provided beyond that endorsement.

Runner approves of MISSION cooling neck wrap for heat relief
I wear a Mission cooling neck wrap when I run when it's hot out. I soak it in ice water then wrap it around my neck. I'm not sure how long it lasts, but definitely over an hour. I think it helps me feel cooler.
