Comments about Buff Cyclone Buff:

Used it ice fishing at Wild Horse in Nevada. Easy to adjust in the wind. A little warmer and more windproof than a balaclava. Kept me warm and sheltered (using a hat with it) at 12 degrees with a 10-15 mile an hour wind.

Comments about Buff Cyclone Buff:

I wear the Cyclone when I'm out in the elements and it keeps me comfortable from my neck to my ears.I wear it at work and if I forget to take it off when I come in from the cold, my neck starts to sweat. i also have a Buff Original and I highly recommend these products.

Comments about Buff Cyclone Buff:

The Buff Cyclone only has Gore windstopper material on the front and sides of the neck, the back is soft fleece. The fit around my neck is perfect. I can tuck the base into my shirt and still have enough of the windstopper material to cover my nose. It is super toasty and has a ton of styles for any use.

Use this product any time it is cold outside. Keeps my neck warm and extends to cover anything above the neck. This is my second Buff product, and I am pleased with both.

Comments about Buff Cyclone Buff:

I bought this product since i work early mornings and during the fall and minter months it tend to get a bit chilly. I've been trying to find anything to keep myself war since i have to bike to work and its a good mile and a half with wind and the occasional winter storm i needed something warm that would block the wind. when my brother bought his i tried it out and no sooner than a week later, when i got paid, i went to REI and bought myself the cyclone buff and so far it has helped a-lot.
the different variations are a big help, although the buff tends to get a bit to snug around my throat which is why i gave it four star but besides that it works wonders.

Comments about Buff Cyclone Buff:

I bought this to replace a neoprene winter face mask because this one looks stylish and is adaptable while my old neoprene makes me look like a ninja (I don't want to look like a robber sneaking about when out for an afternoon walk!). I wore this a few times and I am planning on returning it. At first it worked very well wearing it around town, in and out of the car. There was a slight breeze and snow on one of these occasions and it kept out most of the chill around my neck and moderately on my face. However, when I wore this on a long walk today I decided to return this buff. Within 15-20 minutes of walking it started to become soaking wet from trapping moisture from my breath. It also channeled the air upwards to my eyes, my eye brows and lashes were dripping with water. It was very cold outside (5-10 deg F). While it was still simi-warm, but very wet, it became very uncomfortable especially as moisture continued to accumulate. I pulled it down and wore it as scarf around the neck where it froze solid. I wear several light to medium layers of non-cotton clothing when I walk to avoid become too hot while I walk because I don't like to be cold and wet on the trails if I need to stop walking for any reason because it can lead to hypothermia (especially if I slipped and broke an ankle or something). As a scarf or as a warm cap this buff works fine but as a cold weather mask it is horrible (but it does look nice to wear in town. I think I will try out the wool version of the buff, it looks like the fabric might be thinner and allow more of the moisture from one's breath escape from the fabric. I will post my results under that item once I get the chance to test it.

Comments about Buff Cyclone Buff:

I had requested another standard Buff for Christmas (you can't have too many of those) but my daughter bought me one of these instead. I've used it while motorcycling, and bicycling, as well as just walking around in the cold. Its dual stage design insures the right amount of protection for both moderate and extreme cold temperatures. I frankly didn't expect it to work as well as it did while riding my motorcycle. A very nice surprise.

Comments about Buff Cyclone Buff:

Training for January half marathon and purchased in case weather was foul. Just finished training run in 20 degree windchill and rain and was so thankful to have worn the Buff. No rain, wind or cold penetration while wearing it. Can go from neck roll to face mask to full-on hood wrap. Wish it was available years ago.
