Tayson: So here's the big question, how do we lighten our gear and build our confidence. So we can start living a life full of Outdoor Adventures and memories without having unlimited amounts of time money and previous experience. That's the big question and we are here to help you find the answers. This is the little trolley podcast power, bi Outdoor Vitals. Hey, what's up ovie tribe? And Live Ultralight listeners. Welcome back to the Live Ultralight podcast today, very special episode because we have
Tayson: a new product that just came out and we're gonna be going through the design story and going deep onto what this product is. All about why we've built it, what makes it unique and all of those details that I know you guys really eat up and enjoy. We love doing these things. When I say we I mean Brigham. I've got Brigham our lead designer here on the podcast. With me, we love doing these because we know that by doing these,
Tayson: it gives you more confidence in the products, it gives you better use case. Scenarios of wind to use the products and how to use the products and all these different things that more or less equate to you having more confidence on the And it is my firm belief in our firm belief here, that if you have confidence in your products in the gear that you use, you're going to go out and use it more often. You're going to hit the trail
Tayson: more often. Go on your adventures, travel, whatever it is that you like doing. By having that confidence in your, in your gear, it feels empowering. So we love doing these. You guys, your feedback we've got from you is that you do love to hear these. We do have an upcoming podcast as well, where we talk about a trip that we just did where we did some cross country, skiing and, and More or less went up and stated about 10,000 feet in
Tayson: the snow and how to get time. So look for that podcast to come. But Brigham. Welcome to the podcast, you know, stranger around here, obviously, and a big part in getting this neck gaiter. These two different neck gaiters designed. So let's start kind of into the backstory. You really were here from the beginning with covered this before, but when we first started to be with me and that was, I would say your first day on the job. You you drove down
Tayson: from the city where you're living in at that time met B, and the president and CEO of New York and or TMC. And we Went went to work just learning about wool and looking at applications and it wasn't long after that initial meeting that we were at Outdoor Retailer and we had another meeting with them and learned more about their wool and started to look at more and more applications. The reason that we were looking at merino wool and you'll have
Tayson: to correct me if because I know there's a handful of different benefits of merino wool, but more or less. merino wool the way that they spin their yarn and they spin it and it basically crosses and then crosses back and it creates a lot less torque on the yarn itself. I say yarn, I mean the merino wool fibers themselves and by doing that at ends up creating a loftier piece and more durable piece, it has more inherent stretch, it has great
Tayson: rebound. it's going to create a piece that's going to be a little bit more temperature regulating, so with the stretch but also Just, I don't know. Okay, the breathability and in The Loft, I don't know. Equates to me, to be a much more temperature. Regulating piece it dries faster. I don't know, what am I what am I missing about? What their way of needing the the wool. Equates to for customers and the end users?
Brigham: Yeah. I think you covered covered it pretty well it. I guess I'd add that it's, you know, has a really good Comfort against the skin. Very soft. So as a, as a, as a base layer next to skin, it's very, very comfortable and soft.
Tayson: Yeah, I wonder if that has a lot to do with that extra Loft, they get. So when you are making yarn essentially you end up crossing over the different fibers and you kind of breed them together and braid them together again. And it more or less compresses that wool and the Loft that they can have. So by them doing having a patented way in which they spin it, they're able to cross it, and cross it back and take a lot of
Tayson: that spirality out of the yarn. Typically would be there which creates that Loft. And so I imagine that's a big part of why the Comfort next to skin is so great with New York's wool. Um so that's kind of the backstory I guess on new yarn but so we met with them. We'd been meeting with them. We had a few things that were kind of starting to get underway in different projects ideas for projects and we sat down at or and
Tayson: started to think you know what else could we do with wool? And we started to map out kind of a timeline and ideas and one of the things that we got thinking about was that that's a very simple piece per se to to get going. But whenever we took us a little while was a neck gaiter. And I would say, one of the things that we constantly tried to ask ourselves here at vitals is, when we go to design, something we
Tayson: ask ourselves. What can we do different? What can we add to this equation? You know, rather than just build a piece with new yarn? Is there anything from the design side that we could alter or change or add function to or just, you know, make it unique, make it, make it work for our followers, our customers better. So we're kind of playing around with a few ideas. I think we went to lunch and we Sat down again and the idea came
Tayson: up. To do a tapered cut on it. And we really liked the idea. We thought it would be really cool and then we, you know, came back from or and got super busy with a million other projects and it kind of hit the back burner for a minute. We launched DragonWool with new yarn and we had other products that were underdevelopment that have not yet been released and we got we definitely got busy and the Gators just kind of drifted
Tayson: and then fast forward. So that was like back in. It would have been 19. Summer of 19 so fast forward to I don't know, may of 2020. We the CEO of new yarn gave us a call said hey you know what? This pandemic you really ought to look at face masks. I'm going to send you a handful face masks to try out and see what you think and more or less when we got looking at it, it looked like a great
Tayson: opportunity, but Also looked like an opportunistic opportunity and to try to stay true to our values and trying to provide extra and better products than just a face mask. We kind of went back to the drawing board and said okay if we want to make that neck gaiter which we've already outlined and we want to face mask, is there anything we could do? That would make it do more than just be a face covering or face mask. And so we started
Tayson: to think of different uses different applications. That would make it unique to us make it more versatile. I think that was the big thing. We were hoping for is a big reason why people love Buffs and neck gaiters and stuff. Like that is They have a ton of Versatility to them, you can use them as a beanie. You can use them as a face covering and that covering you know, and people just you know they can cover your nose like they're
Tayson: not cover your nose, whatever and you end up wanting to do with it, they're very versatile. And so to produce just a face, mask did feel a little bit opportunistic to us. And we didn't love the idea and maybe you guys will give us a bunch of feedback that says, go make the face mask as well. I don't know, but I think that we came up with a better solution, especially in the name of Versatility and getting more function out of
Tayson: the piece. So we started to brainstorm a little bit and we ended up making something that we call our mini net, Gator or another word. What's called the bandana the and the idea here was to take some of the things that they were doing with that face masks such as putting two layers of wool on the front side where you're actually breathing through it. Um but then making it more versatile by actually fully encompassing it. And we've we've put this and
Tayson: it'll definitely be easier for you to comprehend this. If you've seen this on our website or in video, but essentially we've we've put two layers of fabric on the front of this and then we've taper cut it. So it's longer and taller per se on the area that would be in front of your face. If you were using it as a face covering. And then we've wrapped it all the way back around at Taylor's a little bit smaller and and really
Tayson: some of the best parts about using it in this way is we were able to design a piece of works as face mask works as a face covering but also I use this, I literally use this piece at the gym this morning as a headband as a sweat. I'm a big sweater if you don't know that already but you know, I used that at the gym consistently to Be a headband, a sweatband. You can also use it around your neck to
Tayson: provide a little bit of extra Sun coverage or if you're me and have a big old beard. Sometimes a full Mickey Gator, doesn't always lend itself. Super well if you just need to cover your cheeks, you know, the winds ripping and and you need to get out of the wind a little bit. You're able to use this mini, you know, neck gaiter or, in other words, bandana in that application. Um, yeah, what I mean, what am I? What am I kind
Tayson: of missing in some of the design or the story aspects of how this piece came to be Brigham?
Brigham: yeah, well I mean the story is Probably more in depth and most people would would imagine. It's such a simple piece. but we actually went through multiple iterations of prototypes to find the right combination because we kind of have the initial idea of adding a more versatile. Than just a face mask. So, starting with this mini gator. Have the general idea, but some of the things we learned like, what the first prototype was, we had a elastic along the top Edge
Brigham: Zone into it, right? Very very thin and I'd call it a loose elastic. Nothing really strong And so when we got the first prototypes, it kind of proved the concept of what we were getting at. But through testing There was a noticeable amount of tension on like the bridge of your nose, or my nose. And I feel like everybody felt that like, when when we were having everybody wear them and test them out as like, It holds it in place well
Brigham: but after not too long, it actually was noticeably uncomfortable. So that was something we experimented with we experimented with You know, different Stitch types, along that top to allow for stretch. We determined, we wanted to take the elastic out of it, and that the inherent stretch of the Merino fabric was plenty to. You know, to stretch enough to fit different shapes and sizes of heads and faces, but it also is now noticeably much more comfortable. It doesn't have that squeezing tension
Brigham: on the face that the elastic had found the right combination of how to to roll that edge and Stitch it down to allow for stretch but keep it in place pretty well. It just minor Dimensions, to achieve that good balance of comfort and stretch, and usability, and just the function of it. It's it's just interesting that such a small piece is, you know, the design process, the thought processes Just very much the same as anything else. Like, we have an idea.
Brigham: The idea is to make Something work well and be multi-purpose. That was another goal was like, yeah,
Brigham: you know, we want to make out something that could be used to cover a face, but it's way more valuable of a piece. If you could do five other things with it.
Tayson: Yeah, I I would totally agree. I was definitely one of the drivers. I feel like behind feeling like that tension was too much. I probably have a bigger head compared to most people hat, size and whatnot. And so I loved the adjustments that we made. I actually took this piece with me when I went up to Alaska and that was back in August. So that gives you a little bit of a idea of how long we've been developing. This Again, for
Tayson: such a simple piece that we did go through a lot of iterations. But I took this to last, I took both the sizes with me and It worked out interesting because I used the mini, you know, the first trip up on the airplane and essentially going all the way to Alaska and through some different airports. You have to leave that face covering on the entire time, which equates the 10 or so hours of living in that face mask. And I use
Tayson: the mini, and I liked the mini a lot on that, you know, at that point in time, except for I did feel that tension a little bit and that was kind of noticeable. So, on the way back, I actually used the full size neck gaiter, and really enjoyed that. It was that one, actually, we did didn't have to tweak nearly as much. We did some minor, we did some different tapers and some different links and stuff, but both worked really well.
Tayson: The nice part was a special. When I was up in Alaska, I used both of them once I was in the field, right? So it was a face covering on the way up. But then once I get there, I'm able to use that in the field and, and enjoy all the benefits of, you know, the sun's hit me and I can cover up and try to stay, you know, out of the Sun, but also got definitely cold. Like I was sleeping
Tayson: in it just a lot of Versatility with it and because it is wool, I was able to more or less just rinse it out in the sink. When I go back to the hotel on my way, back out of Alaska and use the next day, and there's no smell. There's no inherent, you know, issues with that, which is definitely. One of the reasons why wool is so interesting to us as a product, to, to use here. So there's a fabric to
Tayson: use their That being said I did also just get back from another trip that I just took where I was flying. I wasn't flying quite as long but I used the mini neck gaiter and the improvements, which we made. Improvements, which we made on. That were noticed because I wore this for again, three to four hours at a time. And this time had no discomfort, you know, stuff fold over worked really, really well that we ended up doing with this the
Tayson: length. I really really liked and then The other thing that I just really love about it is by by going through. These iterations, we ended up building a better piece because we didn't have to add any spandex. So this is, this is a spandex free product yet again, which is going to help a dry faster. It's gonna help it retain, less odor, development. It's going to, you know, give us all those additional benefits that you get by not having to use
Tayson: a Lasik. So to me, that was all. So another big win with with getting to this final product Um so the outline quite a bit here. And again I think going and looking at somebody's products should be able to see the different colors. We've got we call a tundra color which is kind of a greenish with a little bit of brown. I would say in it. Then you've got a blue color and then I believe we're calling the other one slate.
Tayson: It's very similar to a to a black, or a very dark charcoal and obviously we've got these two different sizes. I personally end up using both I think there's applications for both. So what if I mean, Brigham you've used it? I imagine you guys have probably seen these if you follow our YouTube channel out or vitals, if I seen these in some of our trip videos us wearing them, Specifically, I would say Brigham, I feel like we've we've had you
Tayson: in the video wearing them at different times. But what is your preference program on when to wear which item?
Brigham: Yeah, I guess we didn't really talk about the the full Gator very much. But go back through that before we do this, there's just because I'll probably reference things about it that we haven't really covered yet, but like design wise. Hmm.
Brigham: Kind of the same thing with, you know, okay, well, we've been wanting to make a negator for a long time. And now maybe at kind of like her that Springtime last year. 20 was. Kind of, when we realized we wanted to push it Forward because of that whole face mask thing, and not wanting to just do a face mask, we already had on the design board to do in that gator. And you know obviously we figured out you know you can
Brigham: use a neck gaiter to cover your face for, you know, short periods of time, a totally works. But so how do we integrate that function with the decade or function and and all the things you want to accomplish with it? So If you lay this net Gator out. sideways, you'll see that the front of the net Gator is a few inches lower than the back of the neck gaiter. It's got this interesting little curve to it and That's all intentional. Basically
Brigham: because to add versatility, if it was just a rectangular to Some of the functions of the neck gaiter, if you want to pull it up, over your ears and have it, stay in place, you can almost have to pull it up. So the back of the Gator comes over the top of your head. Otherwise it'll just keep slipping down like with a traditional rectangular tube slip down or Bunch up because you're gonna have extra fabric in the front.
Brigham: Yeah. And so then when that happens you now you're pulling the back up higher so it might not cover the back of your neck as much. So in a cold environment, you're going to get more draft and the sun environment. You might get to the sun, hit in the back of your neck, so that's what that angle curve cut is, it works really well. You can kind of cover your, you can wear it to cover your chin, and your ears, and
Brigham: it sits very well on top of your head, but still not really well. Yeah, yeah. Hat or even a, like a helmet like like if you're a mountain biking or something or doing like some bike packing, but anyway, yeah. Now the full Gator is just, it's a single layer. because it does focus more on the neck, gaiter function down the mini Gator, so it's not like double layer in the front or anything, but it's made, it's, you know, it's the same
Brigham: same fabric, same merino wool, exact same content as the miniature and yeah, we also played with the overall length of it just getting the right balance of in every configuration the length. Works. So it's never like if you pull it up completely over your head, it still will cover your neck, well enough, and then you can even do things like flipping it upside down. To tuck, you know, down into the front of your say, a jacket or something, or the back
Brigham: or vice versa. Anyway, it's end up being working really well, and then I guess leading into kind of where you were getting to a minute ago.
Tayson: But before I think, I think before we get to that, let's quickly cover because you talked about the different layers of fabric, we didn't necessarily talk about the blend or the weight. Oh, yeah. Because that was something we all dialed in. Yeah, design process. Yeah, that's true.
Tayson: I mean the two fabric weights that we are really looking at was a 145 Grand per square meter and then the other one was 125 Grand per square meter. We ended up going with the 125 Grand per square meter and that's kind of the great thing about wool and this lofty wool as it's going to give you Unverified. But from test results, we've had previously. It's going to give you like a 50 plus UPF rating. Yep.
Tayson: Utilizing this wool even at a 125 gram. So it ends up making it more breathable or lofty. More kind of Airy feeling I should say. And be able to use it in even those hotter environments. Not just the cold environments. And then it's obviously going to be just a hair lighter by using the 125. We did experiment around with that and it was, we specially where we've got two layers on this other piece, it dates for breathability to breathe through it.
Tayson: And some of those things as well. So this is a 125 gram piece. And then on top of that, it's an 85% merino wool piece with 15% being nylon. So it's it's a very high merino wool, content level which again is going to help with with the odor development or anything like that. Which is, which is really, really beneficial, especially since we didn't have to put any spandex in the pieces. So, The wait, I'm really happy with the weight. It's I
Tayson: think you are going to really like you. It's one of those where because of the inherent properties of merino wool feels very breathable. Very Easy to breathe through but also just not overly hot. But then when it comes to a time where maybe you're out in the cold and the wind's blowing and things like that, pulling this up and over your cheeks. And Around your neck and face, it really takes a massive edge off of that and and again that Comfort
Tayson: next to the skin. So really happy with the fabric we ended up turning out in the fabric window of going with, I think That big component of this. So yeah, so, let's move back in now. Now, they kind of know a little bit about both of the designs and it should know, understand guess what we're dealing with. So when do you like to use one or the other Brigham, Yeah, I would say.
Brigham: I I love the full Gator. I I've used the full gator in I guess more backpacking. Functions. Then then anything else and I have used it in, like the gamut of temperature ranges. That's, that's what I love about it is. I think the first good test of it was just a little Skyline hike, I did last year like the first week of June. But it's up at 12,000 feet. So always Wendy always windy. It's above tree line, and I just did
Brigham: a like I did an overnight like 26 mile hike and it was awesome and it was a great test because during the day There was a lot of sun, a lot of sun because you're above tree line. And You know 1213 miles, that's a significant amount of time out in the exposure of the Sun and all I wore that with a hat. So I had it pulled up over my chin in the front and then over the top of my, over
Brigham: my ears, and onto the top of my head in the back and then just put a hat. On top of that. And Obviously have protected my skin, my ears and everything from the Sun but also that wind you know in June at 11 12,000 feet. It's not warm, it's not freezing but it's not warm and then you have you know 15 20 mile per hour winds the whole time it can really chop your skin and pull the heat away and it
Brigham: just for, you know, seven eight hours of that it can be pretty uncomfortable. So it worked really well for that. Some of the over 12,000 foot Peak the next morning like before 8:30 in the morning. So it was chilly and it was a cold wind and Was like the perfect combination of what I what I needed to take the edge off my my ears and my the back of my neck. and then I left it on all day, so, you know,
Brigham: into the Sun up into probably temperatures in like the low 70s by the time I back to the trailhead at the end of the day. And I've used it in that configuration. Tons, like we did. I view what that Pine Valley through hike. We did used it there and it was
Tayson: hot that trip. And we were over 10,000 feet with hot and then I used it. In,
Brigham: in the desert back in September. And I don't Know, the name of that trail, but in the death. Yeah. And Timber.
Brigham: Yeah, just this last set that Was the two night one. Oh yeah, at escalant. Yes. Yes. Yeah,
Brigham: that one I mean it was in the 90s. Old trip and I still use it. I dunked it in the water a couple times, and that's another nice thing about it is like the 125 gram weight is for me. It's proven to work well in extreme heat.
Brigham: Um because it's it's just worth it to have the sun protection and then when you are just overwhelmed with the heat, you just soak it. Soak it and put it back on and it's nice to have that that cool touch against the against your neck and That's the area of your body where the wind, if it even a little bit of wind goes by, and you have a wet that Gator on it. It helps remove some of the heat from your body. So,
Tayson: and I mean let's give a little context if we can to what 125 gram per square meter like fabric weight is, I mean, I'm trying to, I'm going to forget this kind of off top my head but like, let's say, your average cotton t-shirt like you're like let's say you're you're like Call that like an undershirt like an average cotton undershirt. It's probably going to be somewhere in the 150 to 175 gram per square meter range. And that's a pretty light
Tayson: shirt. You know what I mean? So, this is even a step underneath that. Basically, you don't get to this level of lightweight feel without getting into a more technical product. So the fact that we can do this in Wool is also really, really impressive and not to set the stage for other things to come, but new Yarns ability to put this in a super lightweight fabric is is pretty unique in and of itself. You just don't find this lightweight of stuff
Tayson: that can perform at this level, which is, which is benefited by that that patented way that they make their wool. So 125 gram is very light, which is why when you're saying you're dipping it in the water and doing these different things, it's going to work really, really well for that because it's not going to feel hot and muggy nearly as much because it is still. So light, you know, Breeze can still blow, you know, in through that and evaporate that
Tayson: water off quickly to to get that cooling sensation you want rather than the hot muggy sensation. If you were to use a different fabric that might not be able to blow through it. You know,
Brigham: that's a good point. I think that was kind of really what leaned us towards the 125 versus the 145 because, it, it's just that noticeable difference in weight, and Too hot when you don't want it to be. So yeah,
Tayson: I agree. So those are kind of a lot of the uses I would Echo those a little bit for me for the full neck gaiter. I remember, when I did go up to Alaska, I tossed one in the last second for my brother for him to try and he I used it a decent amount. He lived in the thing. I mean he just had it up all the time for bugs, you know, to try, try to keep bugs off. And and
Tayson: just that extra sun protection because we were sitting out there, I mean, in Alaska, you're sitting out there with all day sun, right? It got dark for like a couple hours and then a couple more hours of like that great light. But other than that, you're just getting pounded by the sun and it was just phenomenal protection for that. And he came away of all the different things that I had him using in the prototypes he was using with me. I
Tayson: think he likes the merino wool, you know, full neck gaiter the most because he just lived in it. I mean he really did. I just very few pictures. I can even find looking back that he's not in that Decatur. I do think that the Netgear works extremely well for most applications where you typically want a decade her back. A cold weather settings or, or just anything kind of more outdoorsy. Now, if I was to transition and say, okay, when do I
Tayson: use the mini? For me personally, I'm going to use it more as a face covering, it's a lot. It's quite a bit smaller so it's a lot easier to pack. I mean, these things are tiny, right? I mean, like they packed out. I'm holding one of my head right now. It's about an inch thick like when it's all folded up real tight, I'm looking at like an inch, maybe thick and an inch and a half tall or something. It's just you
Tayson: can shove that on your pack and leave it there which is what I do like my, you know, pack that I keep my computer and stuff like that in. So use it as a face covering. I talked about using it in like the gym aspect or working out aspect is a head cover or a sweat man. I would definitely use it on Trails where I don't feel like I really need a full neck gaiter like I don't see like a big
Tayson: application for it but I would still toss this in because it's a great item to sleep in at night. Allow me to cover up my cheeks and maybe if I don't need like a full face balaclava or, you know, especially me where I do have like a big beard. I don't necessarily always need something around my neck, or things like that too. So they will throw that up over my cheeks at night. It's gonna be easier to breathe through. And so,
Tayson: so, to me, I would say, I use, I end up using that mini a ton for more everyday, type stuff, working out in and out of stores. Things like that and a little bit of backpacking. And then, yeah, I would Echo that like, if I'm going on a real backpacking trip, I'm going like to do more distant, you know what a travel or whatever. I'm probably gonna lean towards the full Gator. But that's also why we ended up in two is
Tayson: their inherently different and they inherently have different applications. So I don't want to, you know, push this or something like that, but I think that if you ended up purchasing both of them, you'd end up finding good uses for both of them rather than just going with one and and trying to make it work in all the different applications. They are different. They do seem for at least for me. Have some great applications in the different settings so that kind of
Tayson: my take on when I would use one versus the other. So All right. Well, I think we've covered. We've covered a lot. What are we missing? What have we What have we missed in going through a full deep dive of the product story? Set. Uses. Is there anything that's coming to mind? For those of you that are listening to this, as it kind of goes live, we are doing a launch discount where you can get 10% off. If you are a
Tayson: Live Ultralight store credit member, you're also you're gonna get 20% off and then if you're looking to get these anyways, you can join the membership. You're going to get a free pillow. When you do join the membership plus then you can go and get the net Gators afterwards at a 20% discount as well. So Something to get signed up for the membership. If nothing else. Just know, we have a ton of stuff coming this year, so if you're interested in any
Tayson: of our products or anything that could be coming out in the future, I promise you, you're always going to find a way to spend that store credit and you're always going to save money because you're going to get the free party. Shipping 10% off and all the other laundry list of items such as pre-orders. And like, the Shadowlights are going to be coming really soon. In fact, we were shipping pre-orders right now. So everyone that's a member that pre-order that
Tayson: got a huge discount and as well as they're getting their packs, you know, one to two weeks before anyone else is going to get them. So something to keep in mind but Kind of come back to the neck gaiter. I am super pleased with it, I'm super excited to push this out. We did launch it yesterday we had a very high number of orders, placed for it. So I'm excited to see that. I'll be very interested to get in people's hands.
Tayson: Stuck in feedback on it but definitely this product was was one that we went through a lot more testing and feedback than I think I would have initially thought needed, but they turned out really, really good. And the Fabrics are not really, really good. I really enjoy the colors that we ended up getting as well, and then again, I think it's just all built off that platform of using new Yarns unique merino wool. So it's a really cool piece. Make sure
Tayson: to go check it out if you want to see it a little bit more. Also, make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel. We'll have some videos on there where you'll be able to see it showcase and how we use it.
