Buff UV Half Buff - States

When the sun and wind is intense it's hard to fight it with just sunscreen alone, and this buff makes the perfect barrier for keeping harsh gusts and sand away from your money-maker. Its lightweight, which is great because the last thing you want on a hot and windy day is to layer up with toasty fabrics, and does a good job keeping your skin protected. My only gripe is that the fabric isn't super soft right from the get-go, and when you're tossing fabric against your soft facial skin it would be better for it to feel a little more gentle, though after a wash the roughness is gone for the most part.

The designs are pretty sweet and is great with sun protection

If you don't already have a buff, you are seriously missing out. Buffs are one of the most useful items I own.

Got the arches buff and it looks good and keeps the cold off my neck.

I bought the CA buff for my wife and she loves it. The color is just like the picture. She uses it under her helmet or when she runs to keep the hair out of her eyes.

I wear this under my ski helmet to keep my hair back and my ears a little warmer. As with all Buffs, the fabric is great for drying really quickly.

My husband has three of these now and uses them all the time under his helmet.

Bought my husband a second one of these for his birthday. The first one he had was the arches print and he's put it through the wringer. He wears it running, biking, hiking, you name it. His first one has held up so well and I'm sure the new one will too.

I purchased the Utah Arches one and it's awesome. The colors really pop and it's easy to carry around for sun protection.

The half buff is perfect for keeping your hair out of your face, off the back of your neck, and keeping you cool during those hot summer days.

Just got back from a 2 day ski tour and it was blowing and cold. I honestly didnt need a hat-the buff was all i needed even when my hair was iced over.

I preferred this to the full size buff after comparing the two. Folded in half, it works great as a sweat band or to keep hair out of your face. Relatively cheap and a good alternative to a hat, it is comfy and gets the job done. It also works nicely to keep the sun off your neck in hot conditions without a ton of bulk and excess material to make you uncomfortably warm.

Really versatile and great to keep in your pack for skiing, running, or mountain biking. So many uses! Half length isn't quite long enough for most applications, though.

The functionality of this buff is great but the way it looks is even better! Keeps the sweat outta my eyes and to be able to rep my beautiful sunshine state of FLORIDA while working out or hitting the beach is phenomenal, keep on keeping on!

I have used this mainly as a headband/headwarmer while hiking in cooler weather. Keeps the stray hairs out of your sweaty face and when you stop to eat a snack or snap some pics you can unfold it to cover more of your ears and keep your head warm.
I don't use it as often as a gaitor since it's pretty thin and my other layers keep my neck protected in colder weather that others' might like it for. (I'm one of those anti-turtle neck people, so if it's not freezing out, my neck likes freedom)
I also wouldn't rely on it for skiing- if it's that cold and I'm hitting the slopes hard, I need something more breathable but also isn't going to freeze up on my face. Since this isn't what I purchased it for anyway, I'm super happy!
I will definitely be adding more Buffs in my future!

I am Irish and the sun and I do not get along very well. This is a great addition to sun protection on the neck. I always have it with me when I am doing stuff outside. I also love how many uses it has. I have several different Buffs and they all make it into my pack depending on the conditions if it is sunny or cold or whatever.

I own two of these and bought a 3rd for a friend. I wear them for everything from using as a headband during Bikram Hot Yoga to as a facemask for spring snowboarding or riding my motorcycle. Stays put and is soft. Would def recommend this size buff.
