As a high-quality piece of performance gear a Buff makes an excellent addition to any outdoor equipment arsenal. With many designs and colors to choose from, a Buff is also a great way to make a style statement.

There are at least 12 different ways to wear an Original Buff on your head. Some of the most popular uses include a hat, headband, neck gaiter, balaclava, sun, wind or dust screen, bandana, helmet liner, scarf, pirate-style cap and hair band

Q. Who needs Buff headwear?

Everyone! Everyday athletes who participate in a tremendous variety of outdoor and indoor sports, cancer patients, individuals suffering from the hair loss disease Alopecia, Mount Everest climbers (check out the IMAX Everest movie), divers in deep seas, ski legends like Jim Lee, World cycling champion Laurent Brochard, top Brazilian soccer star Renaldo, Ewan MacGregor and Charley Boorman on their mototorcycle adventure, Long Way Down, International triathlete and author Sally Edwards, and the list goes on and on.

Buff headwear has been used at the Olympic Games, in the Eco-Challenge Adventure Race and has toured the world with the Grundig World Mountain Bike Series. In addition, contestants on the popular television show Survivor use Original Buff headwear while they battle it out in hostile environments.

Q. What fabrics are they made from?

A regular Buff (e.g. the Original Buff, Junior Buff, Baby Buff, National Geographic, Kukuxumusu Buff) are made from a 100 percent polyester microfibre, which is wind-resistant, breathable and wicks moisture. When washed, the Buff is colourfast, dries in minutes, and retains its elasticity.

High UV Protection Buff, Visor Buff and Visor Buff Evo 2 are all made using Coolmax Extreme. This four channel fibre forms a transport system that pulls moisture quickly away from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric so it can then dry. Coolmax can achieve this process faster than any other fabric and thus effectively thermo-regulates the body temperature. Visor Buff and Visor Buff Evo 2 also incorporate a three inch long flexible peak that is sewn to the seam-free Coolmax Extreme tube.

Polar and Junior Polar Buff combine the seam-free polyester microfibre of Original Buff with a tube of Polartec 100 Classic fleece, which is stitched to add a further an six inches (15cm) in length to the tubular garment.

Combi Buff features a drawstring fastener and attractive microfibre trim around a Polartec 100 Classic fleece.

Polar Buff Thermal Pro and Combi Buff Thermal Pro both use High Lift Polartec Thermal Pro fabric which has a curly and low-pile velour texture and offers twice the warmth of Polartec 100 Classic fleece and up to 30 times more durability than bargain fleeces. This fabric dries quickly to minimise heat loss. Cyclone Buff incorporates a double layer of the polyester microfibre used in Original Buff with Windstopper fabric from Gore and an elastic section for improved fit. Typhoon Buff combines a Polartec fleece with Gore Windstopper fabric. An elastic section provides excellent comfort and fit and the drawstring enables transformation from neckwear to headwear.

Q. How do you create a seamless fabric?

Buff headwear is created through a unique proprietary knitting process designed to yield a stretchy fabric tube without irritating seams. This process also allows the fabric to retain its shape without fraying, and gives a tremendous amount of strength to the finished garment.

Q. How are the graphic images added to a Buff?

The graphics are usually applied to Buff headwear using a print sublimation process. This means the colours will not flake or fade over time, while the printing process itself does not change

the unique properties of the polyester microfibre, including the soft feel. For smaller customised print runs, we are now able to use a digital printing process which produces excellent results.

Q. Can I machine-wash a Buff?

Yes. However, a quick rinse with mild soap is more environmentally friendly and is all that is required. Buff headwear will dry in minutes when hung up to air dry

Q. What is Polygiene?

When an item of Buff® headwear is worn next to the skin it will effectively wick moisture (sweat) away from the skin thus creating the perfect environment for bacterial growth within the fabric. Whilst the sweat itself doesn’t smell, some of the bacteria that thrive in this environment can create odours. Therefore to prevent odour build up, there is a need to inhibit the growth of these odour causing bacteria. Polygiene® is a silver ion treatment that when applied to fabric, has a long-lasting yet natural anti-bacterial effect. The silver ions in Polygiene® actively inhibit the growth of bacteria within the fabric, thus eliminating the main causes of odour and making it more hygienic.

Q. Is there anything you cannot do with a Buff?

Good question! Buff headwear can be worn as a bandana, sun-guard, thermal scarf, beanie, balaclava, headband, scrunchie, wristband, helmet-liner, muffler or dust screen. When not worn as headwear, Original Buff can be worn on your wrist or ankle, and they have even been used as arm and leg warmers.
