The best, absolute very best! Never gets stinks, merino wool is soft, very stretchy, not at all tight on my neck It keeps those little gnats at bay during bug season. It keeps drafts from going down my neck It keeps my head from getting sunburned It keeps my breath warm on those sub 10℉ outdoor days. It keeps my hands warm when I forget to pack mittens for a cool day run It keeps my ears warm as a headband I thought these were a joke, until I used them. I now own 5 Buff's and use them to adjust temp on my runs and cool and cold weather runs. Also, a great emergency hat to keep sun off of my head for when I'm caught in the sun without a hat.

These merino wool Buff neck gaiters are great for skiing. Even when they get moist from your breath they feel warm against your skin. They feel light and are easy to breathe through. I have never had the need to wear a heavier weight version in our cold winters. Obviously, for snowmobiling you would likely need something thicker/heavier/more windproof but for skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, etc., this lightweight merino RULES!!! Dries quickly and wool naturally has antimicrobial properties as well, so doesn't get stinky like polyester. Read more
Good. Warm enough, breathable, and because it's wool not synthetic, no stink! Read more
ONE MONTH UPDATE:— it has stretched out some and is not as tight as my older non wool Buffs. I have doubled it to make it thicker and since it was so very long it still covers my neck face and ears very well. When only around the neck it is quite loose even doubled. I am still super happy with it. Even in cold blowing and freezing rain i was very warm and dry. I love Merino Wool and wear it year round in several different products. This is my third Buff. This Buff has good and bad qualities. It is at least twice as long as my other Buff products. Nearly 24 inches long from top to bottom! It definitely can be used as a head cover and still have enough to bundle and keep the neck warm. It feels comfortable and smooth against the skin like a normal Buff. I am not impressed with the thickness of the material. It is very thin and see thru when stretched, like a pair of cheap girls' tights. My other Buffs seem like a tighter weave. I wore it this morning in 30F temps with it around my neck and pulled up over my nose and ears. I was warm and comfortable. There was no wind. I feel the length will make it adequate and I will double it over if temps and wind get too chilly. Read more
I don't use it every day, but it's small enough that I carry it as one might carry an umbrella--in my bag, ready for those terrible days. Keeping neck and face warm are a big deal in the winter, and this works great, but it's also light enough that I forget to take it off inside. So, it's just about perfect. Also makes an emergency hat, though a bit weird, and if you're camping you can jam soft stuff in it for a nice pillow. Read more
Just received, and I think the green color is great. Some one else noted it was so ugly but I guess it's in the eye of the beholder. Yes it is very thin, but I wanted it that way to pack small so it doesn't take any room for traveling. I only take carry on. I can tell it will help keep me warm when needed. I love the multi purpose aspect of it. I know I will be using it in many ways. I have another buff that I love and has held up well. This one is the merino wool and longer so will have different uses. I can't wait to use on my next adventure! Read more
Fantastic buff for biking in the New England winters, light and breathable but takes the bite out of the icy wind. Just don't put it in the dryer after you wash it or it turns into a shriveled baby buff Read more
Not sure why this is so boosted for this purpose. I got this because people gushed about it on social. It's relatively warm for its thicknness, I will give it that. But once I am actually out using it in 20F weather running, even with my large head, it's hard to keep over my nose, it gets soggy (inevitable I guess) and I have to keep pulling it back up, or consciously hold my face a certain way to make sure the pressure stays on my nose. Maybe I am supposed to slide the back up over my ears to help hold it there, but I have Airpods I nee to access while running, and so I don't want to do that. I'm going with the Tracksmith Brighton this summer instead because its a conical shape and not tubular like this, and so tighter over the face. Maybe this is a nice headwrap, or a good gaiter for runners who want to slink it up over half their head. And I have a big one, too. Read more
