Default BUFF, would you wear one ?????

I just got a bad throat infection, this week but I also wanted to go fishing.

I went on the web looking for a neck warmer or such & this is what I found.

The company called Buff make this interesting multi functional garment that cane be worn as a hat/scarf/bandanna.................etc

There is a cool video here where they show you how many ways it could be worn, it is already popular with saltwater anglers who fish in hot climates.


Would you wear one??

Muddler, I like the photo.
I am surprised that I have not seen many anglers using them.

I am going to order two,
one of the original ones & one of the Polar ones.
reasonably priced too!

similar prices to the high end baseball caps, but these are more useful.

They are a handy way to prevent you lips getting burned by either the sun or the wind and they are easily pulled up or down.

I bought one last winter. Fills the gap between a hat and jacket better than a scarf. I think they are expensive for what they are, and I never wear it as a banadana, do-rag, balaclava etc. Won't cure a sore throat but it'll keep a Northerly off your neck.

They are a bit pricey, for a sock with the end cut off!
I guess you are paying for the uv protective material.
