What is a Buff?
A Buff or Neckwear is a seamless elastic tube made of functional material.
It can be moulded in seconds into different shapes - from the classic scarf to the headband and beanie. Typical features:
- Breathable and quick-drying material
- Seamless finish for maximum comfort
- Compact, light, always at hand
- Depending on the model: UV protection, merino wool, fleece, windproof inserts
In short: one piece, many functions - perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities
Buff - the multi-talent for the neck, head and face
Why should a Buff be part of any outdoor equipment?
A good multifunctional scarf replaces several individual products and saves space in your rucksack. Instead of carrying a scarf, a cap, a headband and a face shield separately, you have everything in one:
Protection against cold and wind during walks, motorbike rides or winter sports
Sun protection in summer, in the mountains, on the water or on the bike
Dust and pollen filter in dry air, on gravel roads or in the city
Quick to adjust: from scarf to hat in a few seconds
Hygieniceasy to wash, quickly ready to use again
Especially when travelling or on long trips, a tubular scarf is an indispensable item that you don't want to give up.
What activities is Buff ideal for?
Hiking and trekking: protects the neck from the sun, wind on mountain tops, cold, humidity, dust...
Trail running and jogging: such as a lightweight forehead band or neckerchief, which absorbs sweat and dries quickly.
Cycling and mountain biking: under the helmet against draughts, as protection against dust on forest tracks or forest roads.
Bushcraft and camping: warms the evening around the fire, protects from the cold morning air.
Travelling and everyday life: on the plane, on the train, in the city - small, light, always to hand.
