I wear out several merino wool short sleeve base layers a year. They all get holes in them, mainly around the waist and back, so I presume it comes from wearing a pack? At any rate I tried cutting the sleeve off one and using it for a neck gaiter. Perfect fit - snug and warm!

Nice tip!

Great idea! It's the same concept I have used to make an "infinity scarf" out of old cotton t-shirts, by cutting the arms off and using the width of the torso part of the shirt to create circular scarves.

Yea, I have a few of these. I retired fleece pants and made them fleece shorts. I used the leg pieces for neck gaiters. They work great!
