Adjustable Neck Gaiter

Abstract

An adjustable neck gaiter, or sleeve worn around the neck, is adjustable in length to extend to cover the user's neck and may be adjusted to fit a variety of users. Fasteners, such as corresponding magnetic and metallic elements are positioned inside the fabric such that they can slide against each other maintaining a magnetic attraction to allow for adjustment of the length of the gaiter and corresponding diameter, allowing the adjustable neck gaiter to fit around wearers' different neck sizes, as well as allowing for varied tightness of the gaiter around a single wearer's neck.

         5 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 1 , wherein said body has an upper edge extending from said first end to said second end, and a lower edge extending from said first end to said second end;
 said one or more fasteners is two fasteners with a first fastener adjacent said first end and said upper edge, and a second fastener adjacent said first end and said lower edge;   said one or more reciprocal fasteners is two reciprocal fasteners with a reciprocal fastener adjacent said second end and said upper edge, and a second reciprocal fastener adjacent said second end and said lower edge; and   wherein said first fastener and said first reciprocal fastener, and said second fastener and said second reciprocal fastener, are magnetically attracted when said body is in said tubular configuration.   
     
     
         6 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a third fastener positioned between said first fastener and said second fastener;   a third reciprocal fastener positioned between said first reciprocal fastener and said second reciprocal fastener;   wherein said third fastener and said third reciprocal fastener are magnetically attracted when said body is in said tubular configuration.   
     
     
         7 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 1 , wherein said one or more reciprocal fasteners positioned within the body adjacent to said second end further comprises a plurality of reciprocal fasteners in a linear array substantially parallel to said upper edge of said panel. 
     
     
         8 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 1 , further comprising a pouch for each said fastener positioned on the exterior of the rectangular panel adjacent the upper and bottom edges and the first end and wherein said fastener is secured within said pouch. 
     
     
         9 . An adjustable neck gaiter, comprising:
 a rectangular-shaped body having a first end and a second end and configurable to form a tubular shape in which said first end is adjacent said second end;   a fastener positioned within the body adjacent to said first end;   a reciprocal fastener positioned within the body adjacent to said second end; and   wherein said fastener aligns with and is configured to removably attach to said reciprocal fastener to maintain said body in a tubular shape having a variable diameter.   
     
     
         10 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 9 , further comprising a pouch for said fastener positioned on the exterior of the rectangular panel and wherein said fastener is secured within said pouch. 
     
     
         11 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 10 , further comprising a plurality of reciprocal fasteners, said reciprocal fasteners positioned within the body adjacent to said second end in a linear array substantially parallel to said upper edge of said panel. 
     
     
         12 . An adjustable neck gaiter, comprising:
 a rectangular-shaped body having a first end and a second end, and having an inner panel and an outer panel, and configurable to form a tubular shape in which a portion of said inner panel adjacent said first end is adjacent said outer panel adjacent second end;   one or more fasteners positioned on the inner panel of said body adjacent to said first end;   one or more reciprocal fasteners positioned on the outer panel of said body adjacent to said second end; and   wherein said one or more fasteners align with and are configured to removably attach to one of said one or more reciprocal fasteners to maintain said body in a tubular shape having a variable diameter.   
     
     
         13 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 12 , wherein said inner panel and said outer panel are made from different materials. 
     
     
         14 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 said fastener is a magnet; and   said reciprocal fastener is made from a ferrous material.   
     
     
         15 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 12 , wherein said body has an upper edge extending from said first end to said second end, and a lower edge extending from said first end to said second end;
 said one or more fasteners is two fasteners with a first fastener adjacent said first end and said upper edge, and a second fastener adjacent said first end and said lower edge;   said one or more reciprocal fasteners is two reciprocal fasteners with a reciprocal fastener adjacent said second end and said upper edge, and a second reciprocal fastener adjacent said second end and said lower edge; and   wherein said first fastener and said first reciprocal fastener, and said second fastener and said second reciprocal fastener, are magnetically attracted when said body is in said tubular configuration.   
     
     
         16 . The adjustable neck gaiter of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 a third fastener positioned between said first fastener and said second fastener;   a third reciprocal fastener positioned between said first reciprocal fastener and said second reciprocal fastener;   wherein said third fastener and said third reciprocal fastener are magnetically attracted when said body is in said tubular configuration.
