I used to, until very recently, work in an extremely cold environment at my employer. I got tired of having to stop what I was doing to come out of the walk-in freezer to thaw out. So I purchased a neck gaiter and have used them for the last 4 to 5 years. In an environment such as 0 to -5 degrees with 9 gigantic fans blowing on you, this neck gaiter will keep your face from freezing OFF. They are very breathable and also stand up to repeated washings. This particular gaiter had a really cool design and I love it.
