Algiz is one of the 24 Elder Futhark runes — three lines fanning upward, meant to look like antlers or a raised hand depending who you ask. It's generally taken as the protection rune, carved onto amulets and gear by people who wanted a bit of luck on their side.

It shows up here on a black and cream neck gaiter, same stretch fabric and tube construction as the rest of the range. No seams, no fastenings, just pull it over your head. Reenactors get a comfortable bit of kit that holds up outdoors. Heathens and Norse pagans get a rune they recognise without having to explain it to anyone who doesn't.
