Gear Up for Game Day With the NFL Officially Licensed Cold Weather Collection

Gear Up for Game Day With the NFL Officially Licensed Cold Weather Collection

Cold-weather football might be the best football there is. The parking lot fills before sunrise. Grills fire up, music carries through the lot. Breath fogs over paper cups. By kickoff, the whole place is on its feet. When the defense holds on third down, the wind screaming through the upper deck, twelve rows of strangers are celebrating like family. These are the games fans talk about for the next decade.

The only thing that cuts that kind of celebration short is showing up underdressed.

That’s why Seirus created officially licensed NFL cold-weather gear for all 32 teams. With over 400 pieces (spanning gloves, glove liners, scarves, headliners, balaclavas, clavas, and neck gaiters), you’re sure to find gear that keeps you comfortable while you support your favorite team. 

What Is the NFL Officially Licensed Cold Weather Collection?

Officially licensed gear is approved by the NFL and produced under license, which means the team marks are authorized, and the fit and colorway are held to league standards. Our officially licensed pieces include:

Here is the difference you feel in the stands. Most licensed winter accessories are made from basic materials with a team logo on the front, and that is where the engineering stops. Ours are built from technical fabrics developed for the mountain, including Neofleece® wind protection, SoundTouch™ conductive fingertips, Magnemask™ magnetic freedom, and HeatWave™ dual-stage warming on many of our styles.

How Does HeatWave™ Technology Work?

HeatWave™ is a dual-stage heating system that runs without batteries or chemical packs. It appears across many pieces in the collection. It has two jobs.

Stage one is kinetic. The lining converts your movement into additional heat, so every trip to the cooler and every touchdown celebration works in your favor.

Stage two is reflective. A reflective layer redirects your radiated body heat back toward your skin, helping retain more warmth than the same garment without it.

That combination matters at a football game more than almost anywhere else. You are moving hard in the lot, then locked into a seat for three hours while the sun disappears behind the stadium. Insulation alone struggles with that swing. A kinetic and reflective system keeps up with it.

Many of our gloves and liners also use SoundTouch™ conductive fabric on the fingertips, so you can fire off a group text, refresh the box score, and get in the photo without stripping down.

What Are the Best NFL Gloves for Tailgating?

A tailgate asks a lot of your hands. You are flipping burgers, cracking cans, pulling up the injury report, and getting pulled into a picture with six people who all want the front row. Any glove that comes off for half of that has already lost.

Start with a team glove or glove liner. The HeatWave™ ST Glove Liner is the piece that goes in the bag every single week. Wear it on its own in October, then slide it under a heavier glove when the forecast turns ugly and still keep enough feel to work a phone screen. The ST stands for SoundTouch™.

Use this as a rough guide:

  • 50°F and above: liner only, or bare hands with a liner in your pocket
  • 35°F to 50°F: liner as your primary glove
  • Below 35°F: liner layered under an insulated glove
  • Wind and wet: liner plus a windproof outer glove

Steelers fans can start with the Pittsburgh Steelers team shop, and the same category exists for the Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills.

Which Scarves and Neck Gaiters Work Best in Cold Stadiums?

Your neck gives up heat faster than almost anywhere else on your body, and stadium wind funnels straight down an open collar. Cover it and the entire day changes.

Two options handle most conditions.

The Polar Scarf is a straightforward fleece neck layer that packs flat and sits comfortably under a jacket collar. The Neofleece® Combo Scarf adds a windproof Neofleece® face piece that folds up over your nose and mouth when the wind turns nasty, then drops back down when the food arrives. The Seattle Seahawks Neofleece Combo Scarf shows how the team mark sits on the cheek panel.

For fans who want face coverage with freedom to talk, sip, and cheer with ease, the Magnemask™ line attaches and detaches with magnets in one motion, gloves on.

Do You Need a Headliner or a Balaclava for Game Day?

Both cover your head and face. The difference comes down to how much skin stays exposed and how fast you can adjust.

Reach for a Thick N Thin™ Headliner when you want a close-fitting layer to wear under a team hat or a hood. It runs thin across the crown and thicker around the ears, face, and neck, which is where the cold finds you first, and it slides under a hood or hat without pressure points.

Reach for for your team Balaclava when the forecast drops below freezing or the wind advisory hits. Full coverage from crown to neck in one piece, with nothing to lose under the bleachers when the place erupts.

For a lighter option, the Dynamax Quick Headliner pulls up and down at the face without coming off your head.

What About Clavas and Headbands?

These are the pieces fans live in from the lot to the postgame bar.

  • Quick Clavas™ give you the look of a team beanie with a built-in neck tube, so the warmth is there the second you need it
  • Neofleece® Headbands cover the ears and forehead while leaving the crown open, which is right for a hot tailgate on a cold day
  • Micro Clavas are a lightweight microfleece head, face, and neck warmer built for cold-weather layering without the bulk 
  • Tuck It™ hats store a neck tube in the crown, so the coverage appears when the wind picks up

How Should You Layer Team Gear for Game Day Temps?

Layering for Soldier Field or Lincoln Financial Field is a different exercise from layering for a hike, because you spend most of the day loud and stationary in the wind.

  • Above 50°F: Neofleece® Headband, glove liner in your pocket
  • 35°F to 50°F: Thick N Thin™ Headliner, Polar Scarf, HeatWave™ glove liner
  • 20°F to 35°F: Quick Clava™ , Neofleece® Combo Scarf, Heatwave™ liner under an insulated glove
  • Below 20°F: Balaclava, Combo Scarf, layered gloves, base layer under the jersey

One rule holds at every temperature. Put your neck and face layer on before you feel cold. Once the wind has been hitting your throat for a full quarter, no piece of gear catches you back up quickly.

How a Mountain Brand Ended Up Outfitting Football Fans

Seirus has spent decades solving cold-weather comfort for skiers, snowboarders, and people whose jobs keep them outside all winter. HeatWave™, Neofleece®, Magnemask™, and SoundTouch™ all came out of that work.

Football stadiums throw the same problem at you in a louder setting. Long exposure, hard wind, hours in one seat, and a very good reason to look like you belong to something bigger. Producing under an NFL license lets us hand that technology to fans without asking anyone to pick between staying warm and repping their team.
