in the buff

Mark Alexander

Has anyone used these Buffs on a bike, or just in general?

Yeah, I've used them for cycling and for motorcycling for quite a few years.

Versatile and it works well. Not a lot more I can add! 8)

One of the finest pieces of kit you can have. Soaks up sweat in summer, keeps the chill out in winter. If its chilly - pull down over your ears.

If its really cold - get two and one can go over the bottom of your face. I've got four or five of them - they're great.

Brilliant. Very light and versatile. Fits nicely under a bike helmet too. You can wear it either as a headband, cap or balaclava, though unless you've got a smallish head that last option's a bit tight! What I tend to do is take two and wear one as headband/earwarmer and the other if it gets really cold, as a neck warmer, and sometimes stretch it up over my chin to take the edge off an icy headwind.

In summer when trekking I carry one or two cos tops of mountains get chilly, but then when it's hot I soak them in cold water and wear them.

Great things, Originally about £12 but I've seen similar things for about a fiver - can't remember where unfortunately but I suppose it's the kind of thing that one person thought up and other people copied.

I have ordered an original one. I wanted a UV one but the designs are limited.
I am 'folically challenged' (saves extra grammes) so it is likely to be a godsend.

I use a Polar buff during the winter, the fleece part really keeps the neck warm.

Fleece buffs are good for hanging around in the cold but I find for riding they get too hot, even in subzero temps.

Don't gloat about it - I'm a gorilla, I get a 10am shadow and always look like I've just come out of three months survival in the jungle. I've been thinking about taking female hormones to reduce it. Convenient side-effect -I'll grow a pair of t1ts. Trouble is, they'll probably still be hairy... yuk!

Iv'e got the worst of both worlds. My folicles seem to be the migratory sort. The fewer that sprout out fo my head, the more seem to spout from my shoulders. Also shaving twice a day is an absolute ar*e.

Like the look of the reflective ones, I'd probably go with black but there's some nice bright ones as well.
