Best Buff for cold weather

[monkeytennis]

I am thinking of getting a buff to keep me warm while waiting for my bus in the mornings and evenings. What do people think of the reversible polar one (I assume it is one side microfiber and one side fleece, or the wool one? which is warmer/comfortable?

Ive had a couple of standard Buff's for years, pretty much since they were launched in the UK - Ive used them whilst riding motorbikes, whilst out walking and this weekend whilst sledging with the kids.
The standard one is fine and fits under most items of clothing etc.

I did have fleece Buff but found it too bulky, so my standard ones are used for everything - they are great but make sure its a proper Buff, I bought a knock off once and it was shite.

This Buff is about 10 years old, the buffer is somewhat older

For a moment I feared the OP was going to go out in the altogether!

It's basically a tube of fabric which is slightly stretchy, you can pull it over your napper and down to the neck to keep the neck/ lower face warm. Loads of different styles/patterns available.

Oh right - wouldn't a scarf do? Or am I a little old-fashioned? I must say old chap, that the pocket watch and buff aren't exactly bosom buddies, what, what.

Ginger, thanks for using the word, "napper". What a fabulous word that is!

I find details a scarf slightly annoying, like the fact that I can use it in different ways depending on how cold it is. How warm is the standard one?

 

[Lose the beard]

I think I'll stick to a scarf.

I think it's the sort of thing that is suited to being under a motorbike helmet unless you like the Wilfred look!!

Just get the standard ones they are small enough to stuff into your pocket if it gets warmer and you don't want to wear them.

I find them more convenient than a scarf and more effective, great when cycling or walking the dog, I have on occasion been known to wear 2 when cycling.

I always wear one on the mountain bike, I have 3 all standard Buffs. I usually have mine tied Pirate cap style under my helmet.

Their grrrrrreat!

why not try thermals?

i picked up some tresspass thermals

cant wear them though as start sweating like mad (working outside in this weather)

I used two standard ones when skiing, one ruffled round the neck and the other as face protection. I agree with the other buff fans, one standard buff for the neck is fine in UK temps and yes the fleece ones are just that bit bulky.
