I bought 2 of these, Grey and Brown, a year ago for hiking. It worked great for keeping the sun off of my neck while staying cool. This winter, we hit single digits and used it as a full head and face cover while snow blowing and I could not believe how well it worked. I thought for sure it would get soaked and only give me a few minutes of warmth. The layer closest to my skin stayed dry the entire time, 2 hours. I decided to by one more.
