Hi, looking for like a tube-shaped piece of fabric that would pull over the
head and keep the neck area warm, not a full balaclava that covers the whole
head, but just the neck area. Any pointers? thx!

I think you mean what I would call a dickie (don't remember where I
leaned the term). I am pretty sure that I saw some in our local army
surplus store a few weeks ago.
Mind you our army tends to like warm clothing :)

Looks like the proper term is 'neck gaiter', if anyone has a favorite please
post!

I have a scarf. My mother told me to never leave home in winter
without one.
It fits under a squash pot to keep my head and ears warm. It can also
cover my nose and/or mouth. It keeps my neck warm and tucks down the
front of a jacket to keep my chest warm.
The white silk one rolls up small to stick in a pocket and also looks
jaunty flapping in the wind when worn simply for style.
My winter jacket and rain gear have stand-up collars that are
referred to as a "chin garage". (single chin) They're nice.

Hope it's not so long it could get caught in the spokes, Isadora Duncan
style.

With the gusts today a tail wind might blow it into the front wheel
if one is riding the drops. That could result in a painful kiss but I
doubt one would travel far enough to risk strangulation. The feedback
loop is shorter.

I've got two types, one is polarfleece, probably from sierra trading or
mountain hardware.
It's soft, and has some body , and is probably about eight inches long.
Good scarf substitute , but because it encloses the neck it creates a humid
microclimate.
The other is labeled "Maxit," it's a stretchy thing that I got at a local
retailer -SkiHaus.
It was keted as a neck gaiter, hat, sweatbnd and balaclava.
For running it was the most versatile thing I had, depending on the
distance and how hot
I could get myself I could convert it as I went. It also is snugger,
meaning that it wicks away
sweat rather than creating a sauna. I use it more than the polarfleece
gaiter for biking.
