I have short hair, so covering my head
is vital in making sure I don’t fry my scalp.
I have hats, visors, beanies, and headbands. I recently reviewed some Original BUFF® headwear (click here for the review).
So what makes BUFF® products so cool?
Let’s take a look. It all started
with the Original BUFF® headwear. From there the multi-functional headwear revolution
was born. You can use them in so many
different ways, from a headband, to a beanie, to a balaclava, or even a hair
tie (there is a video below on how to hear them).
Each BUFF® Original headwear is
made from 100% breathable microfiber polyester and is 100% seamless. The material is soft to the touch and will
not irritate your skin. They have
Polygiene Active Odor Control so they won’t stink, and I really put it to the
test. It works! They recently came out
with a Merino
Wool BUFF® product and it’s awesome too!
Anybody that knows is aware of
how much I love Merino Wool products.
The Merino Wool
BUFF® is made from 100% Merino Wool and is longer than their BUFF® Original headwear by about
33%. I love how you get the warmth and
wicking of Merino Wool without the itchiness of old school wool. I remember how much I hated my wool sweaters
as a kid, do you? That is not an issue
here. There are 50 different Merino Wool
BUFF® styles from plain to stripes to designs. There is at least one to fit everyone’s
fashion style. I got the Yarn
Dyed Stripes Seaport Blue Merino Wool Buff®.
The Merino Wool
BUFF® weighs 1.7 ounces and measures 25.9 inches x 9.6 inches and fits most
adults. There are no seams, but there is
a flat hem at each end to prevent fraying.
It is easy to wash. You simply hand
wash your Merino
Wool BUFF® in cold water and just hang to dry. Merino is naturally anti-microbial and
prevents odors so it won’t smell after extended wear. It will also feel dry even if it is full of
sweat, which is one of my favorite features of the Merino Wool
BUFF®. The color will not fade and
will protect you down to 32 degrees F (0 degrees C). Below is a video about some ways you can wear
your Merino
Wool BUFF®.
I have thoroughly tested the Merino Wool
BUFF® in temperatures ranging from 38
degrees to 60 degrees. It not only
wicked moisture, but kept me warm, even in 38 degree temps. I love how versatile it was and you can even
switch how you use it mid run. I started
using it as a Balaclava and then as the temperature rose, I turned it into a headband. I
eventually took it off my head and wore it as a wristband to wipe away the
sweat. Do you own any gear that is more
versatile than that? I doubt it.

Moisture wicking
One size fits all
Natural anti-odor qualities
Has over 12 different ways to wear it
