Comments about Buff Reflective Buff:

This is the perfect product for head and neck wear for year around outdoor activity. Yes, it has a sort of jagged finish but any stitching to give a "finished" edge would compromise the stretchability and comfort features. I have not found another product that suits my hair style, long hair worn in a bun. I wrap one around my hand to mop the sweat and have one wrapped around the stick shift of my car for sweaty hot car management. I have many times recommended this product to friends.

Disappointed - rough hem looks cheap

Comments about Buff Reflective Buff:

I ordered this buff online becuase it was reflective. Unfortunately, when I received the buff, I found both the top and bottom hems to be roughly cut. The hems were NOT SEWN. The cut was also uneven and very jagged. I think it looks like a five year old kid cut the buff with dull school scissors. I am going to return this buff because it looks really cheap and was poorly finished. I never wore or used the product because I was so turned off by the poor finishing in hems...so I cannot speak for its practicality or usefulness.

Comments about Buff Reflective Buff:

This rating and review is only for this reflective model.
Was curious about the Buff so got this reflective model on sale to try it out. Overall it does as advertised and as reviewed by others. The only drawback, and major one at that, is the fact that the one inch reflective strip is silk screened/baked on and thus creates skin irritation especially at the ends. Where the unfinished, sort of jagged ends on a regular buff wouldn't be a problem, the jagged ends of the reflective strip is not soft and defeats the purpose of not having seams or labels. It also prevents it from being reversible as the reflective side loses its softness feel where the strip touches skin.
Still functional in many applications so I will keep it especially considering the sale price, but kind of disappointing as my first foray into the world of Buff users.

Comments about Buff Reflective Buff:

I have owned TWO Buff Headwear bands for just over 1 year -- I have worn them for at least part of every single day since purchase .... I wash in my front load washer, and hang dry, just to preserve their appearance -- although, they wash well by hand on the trail too -- I LOVE the 'rough hem' -- it makes the bands completely functional for SO many uses -- pony tail, headband, baclava, hat, ear warmer -- with a stitched hem, it would not be possible to have such versatility! It looks great, and the unfinished hem is certainly not noticeable while wearing- blends right in -- and I get MANY compliments and queries regarding my Buffs whenever I wear them out -- still perfect stretch, still perfect material as the day I purchased ... just back today to add new patterns to my stash :-D

I have thick curly hair -- but my little sister is a recovering chemo patient - so, obviously, they work well, and attractively, for any spectrum on the hair need list! She even wears hers to work (some of the patterns are rather dressy-capable) ... can't recommend enough!

Comments about Buff Reflective Buff:

Buffs are awesome.
The edges are raw...but you are not typically wearing a buff in a way where a raw edge would be a negative. And like previous poster said - any sewing/hemming would detract from the stretchability. If you want something with non-raw edges, go for the buff headband.
I have a buff that I've had for 5 years now and it is still as if it were brand new. I regularly wash it, I wear it for hiking, running...anything. Keeps the sweat off my face, keeps my hair off my face, keeps me warm in cool weather, doesn't make me hotter in hot weather - couldn't be a more perfect product.
I recommend buffs to anyone and everyone I ever meet.
