Some moments are worth holding onto, even mid-air. The Powder Grab Neck Gaiter features the same bold illustrated scene as our long sleeve β a skeleton snowboarder grabbing air on a lightning-bolt board, pines and a golden sunset framing the run. It's a high-energy tribute to chasing fresh powder and catching a little air along the way, now in a versatile piece you can take anywhere on the mountain.
Officially licensed Grateful Dead gear, granted the Seal of Recommendation by the Skin Cancer Foundation, and made for riders who live for the mountain. This lightweight performance gaiter delivers UPF 50+ sun protection and moisture-wicking, quick-dry comfort in a stretchy, seamless design that can be worn as a neck gaiter, headband, face covering, or bandana β ideal for snowboarding, skiing, or any activity where sun and wind protection matter.

GRATEFUL DEAD MEETS GRATEFUL DIVER
Grateful Diver was created in 1995 when Grateful Dead co-founder and drummer Bill Kreutzmann, an avid diver, had the inspiration to design a Grateful Diver logo by placing the iconic Grateful Dead lightning bolt on a red dive flag. This iconic logo has raised money for marine conservation for almost 30 years.
