What scarf material is the warmest, thinnest?

[Smashy]

I'm not a scarf type of guy so I don't regularly wear them, but I really need something to keep my neck area warm during outdoor activities (hockey, skiiing, etc.). Any recommendations? Thanks!

fleece is the warmest and light. Microfleece scarfs can be brought anywhere/

[Taiphun]

Bubblewrap.

It keeps air in by not letting it out, plus the bubbles give it a larger surface area and has individual pockets of warm air.

Fleece, most definitely. Warm and easily washable too.

i like cashmere scarfs

great if you don't get em very dirty, u'll need to dry clean or hand wash em if they do.

+1 for cashmere

can't go out without my scarf in the winter or i'll freeze.

cashmere is warmer than fleece for the thickness, but the price difference is so big it might not be worth it for some people

if you are using it for outdoor activities/sports, you would really want something that's a bit easier to wash/clean.

i'm bit on cashmere scarfs, but it might be a bit trouble having have to dry clean it often. washable cotton or fleece should do the job.

Cashmere. You can hand wash it and it still comes out nice and soft.

Another vote for Cashmere

Definately the micro fleece stuff if you are being active. You can buy really light weight ones that tuck in to your thermals or jumper so no cold air gets in (or snow). I am originally from Australia and you can find good deals from Kathmandu - I think just kathmandu.com.... very cheap and really really easy to clean... good luck

i also work there so i applied my employee discount of 30% and got it for 35. you just gotta shop around

cashmere is my favorite when it comes to scarf!

[Phr3sh]

cashmere is the best hands down...sometimes it's very hard to justify the price though

[mahpoaht]

I think silk is the best choice. I have one made of silk and it is wayy warmer than cashmere or fleece scarfs.

But hey, its not cheap
