BUFF Unisex Midweight Merino Wool, Light Grey Melange, OSFM

My daughter has been a fan of these for years, and I'd made a note to hook up with one. I didn't know exactly what I was looking for and made a mistake or two in the process. Some of this type unit are pretty poorly designed and lack functionality. Once I made the BUFF connection, I've been very happy. They aren't as cheap as some others, but quality tells. This unit is a light wool that I think is well suited to biking from say 20 degrees F to 50-ish. It is quite warm for it's light weight. Of course bicycling adds its own heat, so you don't want something too thick or that blocks off some air circulation or moisture diffusion. It breaths and is comfortable with no irritation (at least to me) And as important is that it goes on smoothly and doesn't stretch out of shape like many do. Its edges are well done and don't show sign of wear or raveling. I'd certainly recommend this not only for biking, but for general wear.. I guess it's not very "in fashion" but I just push it down around my collar indoors and don't get too hot. Of course it comes off easily too, but I tend to lose things :( It's a good value given it's superior performance for me.

(This is a cut and paste from my review of the lightweight version) ... You won't find a better neck warmer/multifunctional merino headwear. I've been weary merino everything for a long time, I've tried the same offering from 2 other (excellent) wool companies and this is the best IMO. It's not too tight, not too loose...it's just perfect. I have the light and the mid weight versions; I used the light 80% of the time as it is warm enough and actually usable 3 seasons of the year. Great for the minimalist packer. Check out the review on Pachacker.com or any travel channel on YouYube...

Delgadita pero muy calientita

Use everyday. Getting fewer sore throats makes this buff totally worth its high price tag (in my opinion)

Soft and warm, and all natural material against the skin. It’s thin, not bulky, and yet keeps my neck and chin warm and blocks the wind effectively. Also made in Spain. Machine wash possible (be sure to use laundry bag), but do not put in dryer!
