When it's very cold, I pull it over my ears and jaw. I might cover my mouth with it if it's very cold. Combining the Buff and a skull cap effectively makes a balaclava for me. To make an adjustment between these three setups, I have to remove my helmet, make the adjustment, and then secure it with my helmet again. That's the only downside, but I rarely have to do it more than once on a ride.
