Nice to know from replies that there is a wide range of different names to call the neck-tube thing! (which I did not know existed before living in Saskatchewan, and now wear every day for probably ~1/3 of the year)
This is the pattern for my favourite one (the one that I need to find...) and it's called a cowl in the pattern! Yet another name! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sockhead-cowl
@sundogplanets animal/human waste is permitted in the Open/Modified Class of the Canadian National #CompostRacing Association. All you need is a compost thermometer!
@sundogplanets it's kind of a touque for your neck so it should really be called a nouque.
Snood, I think.
@ratcatcher @sundogplanets that was the name that came to mind.
They probably call them bunnyhugs in Saskatchewan.
i've seen it called a balaclava most often for ski gear but my partner has a knitted one that i call the "dwarf hood". :)

@sundogplanets late to the party on this, but as a born-Reginan now in Edmonton, “buff” is pretty common, if not with eye holes (balaclava). For all the Brits and Irish saying “snood”, that’s an old computer game.
I haven't seen anyone call them a "dickie" (although Wikipedia does list it as an alternate name).
My Mom always called them dickies, and coincidentally I just found the bag with my Mom's dickies that I was going to use for biking.
Until we got 20+ cm of snow that tell me biking season is over, dickies or not.
Hope you find it! 🤞
That's it! That's the name I know but couldn't think of 😁👍
Cowl.
(Oh! On reading the replies further, also Snood, it seems.)
@sundogplanets is it too late to add “baby yoda suit” to the list of names?
@sundogplanets omg thank you! I hate calling them neck tubes but cowl sounds cool and hip.
I'm gonna try and revive that word here in Manitoba.
@sundogplanets I have a few of those, and I’ve always called them “neck gaiters”
@sundogplanets Real face and neck-savers when it gets cold out.
@sundogplanets tagging in for team snood. A good olde english term that has no need to be modernized.
@sundogplanets oh hey! When you are in NZ you need ro fill your suitcase with Zealana yarn. It’s made from possum wool and is super-light and warm and soft.
@rednikki I should really plan to bring an entire empty suitcase with me to fill up with yarn to bring home...
@sundogplanets Yarn, chocolate, beer and wine if they’re your thing. Also a great place to get wool underwear. Cactus makes very durable work clothes. New Zealand also has really, really, REALLY unique potato chip flavors. (Duck Island ice cream! Fix and Fogg Everything Butter! I could go on…I miss it a LOT.)
@sundogplanets I've never heard that used for a buff/gaiter; I'd imagine for a not-insignificant bunch of us a "cowl" is a _very_ specific item... 🦇
@sundogplanets I had a similar thingy for when I was snowmobiling. Serious windchill. They are amazing.
