Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The inspiration of an off-road motorcyclist who wanted the perfect piece of headgear for all riding conditions, Buff's technical fiber headscarf is versatile, comfortable, and lightweight. The Buff headscarf is made from 100-percent polyester microfiber, with a tubular design that can be worn as a headband, neck gaiter, balaclava, cap, face mask, wristband, and scrunchy, among dozens of possible uses. Even better, the polyester fabric wicks away moisture to keep you cool when it's hot, but also insulates against cold when the weather turns. It's so versatile that it's considered an essential piece of headwear by several Survivor contestants, who have used it to protect them from the elements in tropical locales.

The Buff was designed by Spanish motorcyclist Juan Rojas, who developed a special tubular loom that achieves a unique seamless construction. This not only creates a particularly comfortable garment, but also an extremely durable one. The company also uses a sublimation process to transfer designs onto the headgear, ensuring that the material retains its soft feel without the fabric fading when exposed to the elements. Finally, the Buff is machine-washable for easy cleaning, and is designed to maintain its elasticity through the years. Wind-resistant and tough, the original Buff headgear measures 20.7 by 9.6 inches and weighs 1.2 ounces.

5.0 out of 5 stars These things are great, February 5, 2009

So useful, and so lightweight. I take mine hiking, skiing, airsofting, camping, etc. You can use it as a facemask or a hat, and there's a whole list of stuff you can make with it that came with mine (I didn't buy mine here). I highly recommend this item. One thing to be aware of is that this is not thick and super warm. It is thin and versatile.

I like the Buff - it's a neat idea and for those who sweat profusely and who are out in the sun on our travels, we need something like this. I could have used it when I was in Egypt to keep sand out my face and the sun off the back of my neck. It's got a variety of uses (look at their website for the instructional video) but I find it helpful as a headband to keep the sweat out of my eyes. Plus, making a pirate cap out of it is an added bonus.

I've got roughly a 18" neck, and the Buff felt a little snug around my neck. I don't know if I have to break it in or not, but if you're tinier than I am, you should have no problem.

As for the price... well, I wish I would have bought it from their website to save a few bucks and got a better selection. This time, Amazon marked up a product instead of reduced it.

This product is as advertised. The only concern I have is my foggy glasses when the Buff is over my nose.
