Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Echo Ubertube

I wear this as a face covering during long walks in the Arizona heat. It has great coverage without being constricting, and is lightweight. Love that the material doesn't irritate my skin like other face coverings.

I really like these buffs for summer, light weight and perfect for both covering up and covering your neck from the sun. As an unexpected side effect of covid, I've been turned on to these tubes. It's a must have for 2020

Love this, when there is lots of bugs out, this is great.

Awesome piece of gear!

Really like this. I bought it to have a face covering for hiking with all the Covid stuff going on but I find myself using it around town for a face covering too. It's also nice on the trail to keep your neck covered from sun and bugs. It's pretty comfortable and I don't really notice it's on. it's a little loose but after washing it twice it's a bit more snug and stays on my face pretty well. Would recommend as both a face covering and for its intended purpose on the trail

Nice product! Great sun protection along with doubling as a face mask when needed. Easy to wear all day.

Nice lightweight and easy to wear face mask / sun protection that can be quickly brought up / down as needed. Comfortable enough to be worn all day. Stylish too!

I've purchased neck tubes from Simms, Patagonia, FishMask, Costa Del Mar and Free Fly, and this one is by far the best. The sizing is perfect. You can wear it as a "covid-mask" on hikes on the offchance you encounter another person on the trail, or pull it up higher for more added protection. The fabric is extraordinarily light and breathable. Nice work OR!

very breathable

Nice light weight

Nice and thin, stays up, protects from the sun and provided a face covering, though not filtered, which is helpful.

This is a nice neck tube thingy. It's breathable and light weight. I have used it as a make shift face mask on the trail. It doesn't feel like it provides much protection in that regard. However, it must be better than nothing.

Worn it snowboarding in Feb to keep my face warm and in July to keep the sun off the back of my neck, perfect for both!

I purchased this as a handy face covering while recreating and it has turned into an essential piece of outdoor wear! It is so lightweight and breathable that you don't notice that it is there while providing a little extra coverage from sun, mosquitoes, etc. It easily rolls up into a headband to keep your hair out of your face, too. I bought one for my husband to wear as a face covering at work since he has an active job and he loves it! It stays up, is easy to pull up/down, and is easy to breathe through.

Very comfortable, breathable on hot summer days

A little snug for thicker necks, but still comfortable. Very breathable. Cool color options. Liked it so much I bought another.

Samba's BRIGHT red and I love it! Looking for a pop of color in your wardrobe? You'll enjoy this as well.

I own three of these, which I've been using for several years now. I found them most useful for sun and wind protection in non-winter alpine adventures, or high exertion activities in winter. More recently, I've started wearing them for pandemic protection. For me, these work much better then most pandemic masks. There's no issue with side leakage, you can arrange it so that your glasses don't fog up (even when you're chugging up hill), and they're not super restrictive. I don't know how the fabric would fare in comparisons with other mask fabrics, of course. I'm an average size male, and it fits me well.

Lightweight, easy to breath through compared to some competitor products. Perfect for off-season use and winter.

Just ordered for the whole "have to wear a mask thing". I love that it is light, as the weather is getting warmer, and can be washed and dried very quickly. Same material as the Echo tees. It is easy to breathe through and stretches just enough. I also know I will be wearing as protection for my neck/ears when hiking/camping. Can be used for sweat, sun protection, mask, hair band, etc. It's light as a feather and packs down to nothing - no excuse not to have with you. I intend to buy a few more - one for the car, one for my work bag, one for my backpack.

I once had an earlier version of this ubertube, and used it for years. It was my absolute favorite and I lost it, so I needed a replacement. Works like a champ, keeps the neck warm and covers my face on those cold runs. Super stretchy.

I am a big fan of buffs and use them all the time. This is ORs version of a buff and is super light. Love the versatility. Used it ski touring, mountain biking under the helmet and trail running on colder days. Highly recommend!

I have enjoyed this product. Lightweight and a good length. Provides some warmth, but not a substitute for a hat. I mainly use this as sun protection on my ears and neck when I'm moving in the mountains. Ideal for backcountry skiing and summertime glacier season.

Haven't actually used this in the field yet but it is literally OR version of the Bluff. Seems like a quality product...looking forward to trying it out this winter and summer...

I bring one of these every time I'm out. Sun protection, wind protection, warmth. I wear it over my eyes while I sleep if it's too bright in the cabin.
