If you're trying to decide between the Coolnet or the Merino Wool versions to use as a mask i bought both at the same time so i could compare for myself...For context i have a large beard so a standard face mask was not the best option for me as i work in a place that requires me by law to wear a mask for 6 hours straight due to the recent change in rules in the UK... it should also be noted that using either of these products as masks will most likely NOT protect you from Covid-19 as well as something like an N95 mask may do.Breathability:They are both quite easy to breath through as the material on both versions is quite thin, but the Coolnet version is just slightly easier (by maybe 10%)

I've been using Buffs for 7 years now and have quite a collection. Mostly Regular Buffs and a few Polar Buffs in all sorts of colours and patterns, but this is my first Merino Wool Buff and I must say I'm delighted as to how warm it kept me in this snowy weather we have right now in the UK.I ordered the Shamir Cedar colour(more like Olive Green) so it compliments my olive green military uniform when I'm out with my dad in his vintage WW2 military vehicles at weekends. I ordered it specifically because knowing how well Buffs keep you warm, but also knowing that my dads trucks have no doors or windows to keep the elements out! I feel this Buff will earn its keep in this department!Its indeed very warm and I would *like* to say its soft,

This is the second Buff I own. Initially I brought the cotton version as I was afraid of wool because it’s itchy... After I tried a merino item I immediately went and brought the Buff Merino version. I must say that if you are a outdoor person this item is a must have on your kit. Also you must’ve it from Buff as it’s made in Spain. Also you must have it from merino as it’s the best fabric, net superior to cotton. The reason for that is , the merino dry faster than cotton, doesn’t need frequent washing, keep warm even when wet and.... doesn’t smell. If I have to compare it with the cotton one also it’s a bit longer,or, it’s just my optical illusion.I love this simple piece of kit as it’s simple and efficient.

I first noticed Buffs some years ago and was not convinced. Heavily marketed in places like Millets, Blacks, and Cotswold Camping they seemed very much an overpriced fashion accessory for trendy backpacking hipsters, and not something to be seen in as a self respecting gentleman over 30!Being a fan of merino wool however I recently stumbled across this woollen version which caused me to reconsider.The principle attraction was it's neat compactness; here was a garment professing similar functions to a scarf and more, yet which tucks down to about the size of a cigarette packet. Still somewhat sceptical I resolved to splash out on a very conservative grey version.I have to say I'm delighted I gave it a try.

As a slim woman, I've come to realise that this product is a little large for me. I've come to realise this because when I try to pull it up to cover my mouth and nose in the cold weather, it will fall down before very long. Having said that, it performs better for that task than any scarf or long necked jumper I have could ever do. I use this for cycling and it's good for that activity because, unlike a scarf, it's never going to become unravelled and blow away or cause me any distraction or danger. The colour is spot on for me: more of a brick red than a true red; I love it. The thing I hate most about this product though is the label: it is quite long and is sewn on to the bottom of the Buff; this means that it is often visible as,

I bought this on a whim. It's still high summer, and I haven't field tested it, so take this review with a pinch of salt.I like merino wool. It's expensive, it doesn't last as long or dry as quicky as other fibres, and some fine it too itchy, but what you gain is versatility. It keeps you warm, even when wet, and or let's you perspire freely without getting damp or smelly, even if you don't wash it for days.So I thought it would make sense to convince a simple, versatile fabric with a simple, versatile garment design.The combination of thin fabric and long tube give you the option of wearing it as a light single layer or heavier double layer.The main modes of use for me would be:- hat- face /

Received in a couple of days, so extremely quick, all authentic in original BUFF packaging. Twenty plus years ago I bought this make and still have the same Buffs. Beautifully soft, long and warm or cold depending on the season. Great for he Covid 19 cover up because it can go over ears, nose and mouth. You can breathe and doesn’t steam up glasses if you wear them. Reviewers have mentioned in previous reviews how thin it is. True it is a thin woollen tube, but don’t think for a minute it won’t keep you warm in winter, or cooler in summer. Works both ways. Just rinse under the tap with a bit of detergent, and dry on the line. Do not put in the dryer. These buffs will last for years.

Bought two of the buffs and arrived at different times. Lose fitting and stretchy material that is lovely and soft to touch. My last buff I still have, and I have had it around 30 years. I swear by the name and never had an issues. Arrived in good recyclable packaging which is a bonus. Size is one size, the buffs fit myself and my husband and neighbour. I would say they would fit majority of necks, with respect chunky necks may have an issue, getting it over the head maybe a problem, however on a cheery note, the buffs do stretch. I am very pleased, lightweight and thin as it should be, keep warm around the neck in cooler months, and warm in winter.I have bought several now and all brilliant.

New to this headgear, I recently walked the camino de Santiago in spain. 800km trail across 4 mountain range in all weather.What an essential piece of kit this wasIt was warm around head and neck in snow blizzard in pyraneese (I bought the gana red too) I wore it everyday as bandana when the temps hit 32 degree it was soaked with sweat and never smelled just dried quick and went back on next day!I used it as an eye mask sleeping in hostals, pulled down over ears to keep from loosing my earplugs (lots of snorers in dorms)I wore it every day for 41 days and washed about 5 times during.It was like new when washed or not everydayIt has many more uses than how I wore itworth every pennymerino wool

I read all the reviews,and especially that one by Roger.After this, I found that cedar seemed quite a nice colour. So I bought it. I was happily surprised. I was confronted by a deep dark green, which I like very much.I put in on straight away and tried the different ways to wear this.In the evening, I still had it on when it grew quite chilly. I lifted the buff over my head; it was a delight to be warmed in this way.In fact, I am delighted with the style, as you can wear it as an unobtrusive "scarf" which will protect your neck from the wind. You can pull it over the top of your head to protect the ears. Really splendid. The merino wool is tightly knitted,

I've got a couple of these now as well as buying one for my missus - they're very handy bits of kit! Discrete in appearance, I'll happily wear them around town with 'normal' clothes or on the hill. They'll roll up to little more than the size of a pocket handkerchief, so easily slip into a pocket or bag until you need them.Very thin, lightweight and packable they're enough to take the chill of your neck and to seal those jackets which don't seal tightly enough. They're plenty warm in all but the coldest of British weathers .I know buff make a big deal about all the different ways in which you can wear these, but I only really use it as a neck gaiter / scarf,

I purchased this to use as a face covering when out and about. Ordered at the price of £18.48 during the start of August, which has probably gone up due to others having a similar idea during COVID. (Folded in two with a filter fabric in-between, creating a more comfortable 3 layer covering).The wool itself is soft against the skin, however, the label is large (roughly 5-8cm long by 2cm wide) and very annoying. I ended up cutting the label out but made a tiny hole whilst doing so, a quick few stitches of thread solved that. This makes the product non-returnable due to my own damage and my fear of germs spreading. It would have been a better design decision to add a tear-out label or none at all.

I received one of these as a birthday present. My 8yo son decided it suited him and took possession of it. So I bought another which my 4yo daughter decided suited her better. So I bought this one.Perfect for cycling (we do, as a family) in winter where you can either wear it around your neck only, or pull it up over your head (under your helmet). As it's thin, it keeps the wind off without making you too hot. But it *does* keep the wind off - it's long enough to tuck into your shirt and leave no gaps.Would like one slightly wider in diameter, if I'm honest. I don't like the feeling of things close around my neck.

I use this along with the Buff merino skull cap. They are a perfect match since they’re the same wool (125g/m2) and colour. This combination beats the (Merino Buff) balaclava I was used to, allowing extra combinations. Great quality & performance as always from Buff (as long as you get the merino stuff). This is 125g/m2 wool which may seem very thin (IT IS, you can actually see-thru) but does its job even in North EU winters AND being merino and thin it’s perfectly wearable all year round. Unfortunately the fit is very loose (unless you have a really big neck, I am a medium size man) hence 4 stars instead of 5.

These buffs are almost unparalleled. It's so light-weight, even compared to a normal buff, that you barely notice you're wearing it but it still manages to keep you warm and comfortable. The only downside is that the merino wool range from Buff seem to wear slightly faster than a normal Buff. I've noticed some slight bobbling after albeit daily wear for 6 - 9 months. It can also be a slighter harder fit when wore in one of the hat configurations if you are bald as merino wool tends to be softer and therefore slides around easier. I would still recommend this over over any other Buff product.
