Any other Buff fans?
Just posted a video review of the Buff, one of our essential bits of touring gear. Any other Buff fans?

I've been using buffs since before there were Buffs. In the UK, the Headover, a light fleece tube , has been a std piece of kit for years. I first saw them in 1980s. They are awfully versatile.
My current one is merino wool and a fantastic piece of kit.
In really cold conditions, I wear 2, one around my neck and the other raised up around my ears.

I like riding in "the Buff".
Great stuff, Buff.
A Buff is the near perfect clothing accessory for those touring the shoulder seasons and into the winter.
Great stuff, Buff.

Yeah! A great all around bit of gear. I carry a merino wool buff and a regular one. They've been used for everything from sweat rags to shirts.

Aww, you didn't do the Ninja balaclava fold.
I got my first one in 1989. Seems like it was made by Hot Chillys, IIRC. I can't remember what they called it but I'm pretty sure it wasn't "buff".

I probably have a dozen buffs. The first several were purchased at the Great Western Bike Rally in Paso Robles from the "Buff Girl". Her demonstration of the Buff as a "tube top" sold me on the product. Or at least on the Buff Girl.

yes, +1 to the buff as tube top. i've seen it live, not on the buff girl. A very impressive look, sure to turn the pedals of most cyclotourists.

I always carry a Smartwool buff and cap or a balaclava. They make riding in freezing cold Icelandic temps comfortable
