      I am a competitive road cyclist and log a "lot" of hours riding during the off-season; translation...cold weather. This works really well as a neck gaitor under my riding jacket.

        Comments about Buff Original Buff:

        I primarily wear my buff when I'm backpacking for prolonged periods of time when a shower is not available to properly wash my hair. With long, thick, hair, I love to throw it all up in a bun, add the buff, and not worry what it looks like.

          Comments about Buff Original Buff:

          I love how versitle it is. And, it keeps me warm on those chilly 24 degree bike rides, because you can wear it on your neck and on your head at the same time! Or, I can wear it as a hat only, just by following the simple instructions that it is packaged with. There are many possiblities and the options are endless for the ways that you can use this. It does keep me warm and keeps the wind chill down.

              The perfect headgear for so many activities. Light but warm, protects from the wind and weather and changes when needed. I have used it as a turtleneck, headband, full head covering, hat, and the list goes on. Plan on buying one with UV protection for trail running this spring. For those concerned with the fact that the edges aren't hemmed I say try the Buff! The edges don't fray and if hemmed would just be an irritant! The Buff is light, smooth and perfect for so many uses.

                I love these things. I have long hair, so I can wear it as a headband, under hats, or completely cover my hair from wind. It is especially useful in keeping those little strands that always come loose and fly aroung your face and get in your eyes. Great for shooting, whether it is with a camera or a shotgun.

                        I use it in snowboarding and I lost it....but I purchased a new one with merino wool from the shop there and its amazing! Longer too and keeps me much warmer then the normal Buff, but this Buff will be great in any weather. Not in rain since its definitely not waterproof. But a great scarf non the less!

                        I really enjoy wearing this while on the trail. It breaths well and is very soft, I do not like how the ends are not hemmed. It may fray in the future, however, it is great for the time being! I plan on getting more.
