In my opinion, this is an almost perfectly designed product. I’m not sure whether Pentagon was the first to come up with such a concept, but I consider the combination of a thicker part protecting the neck with a thinner one that can be pulled over the face and mouth when needed to be a very practical solution, although of course it may not suit everyone. For me, it is simply a successful combination of two functions that I will gladly use. The weaker point, however, is the color. This is definitely not a true RAL shade, but rather a more olive-green tone, so Pentagon missed the mark here. I also wonder whether the brand more often offers products labeled as RAL that in practice differ from the standard. I also own a Pentagon cap, and there the color is a bit closer to the original than in the case of this neck gaiter, but it still cannot be called fully consistent. I do not own any other Pentagon products in RAL, so I have mixed feelings as to whether this company actually manages to reproduce this color well. Despite these reservations, I am giving it 5 stars mainly because of the very good price-to-quality ratio. I paid 114, so at that amount it would have been hard for me to be seriously disappointed, even if the color had been even more off. I am also adding a comparison photo: Helikon MCDU, Direct Action Vanguard, a Pentagon neck gaiter, and a Koris Pentagon cap, all in RAL. In the photograph, taken under artificial light and with a flash, it looks quite similar, but in reality only the MCDU and Direct Action have the same shade, while the two Pentagon products clearly differ from each other.
