Multifunctional Bandana Merino Lightweight Women/Men - Made in Spain balaclavas headband balaclava Autumn-Winter Winter

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. This is what you need in a SHTF situation: simplicity and efficiency. Also you need a strong built and Buff is a Spain company with a superior quality control who is not messing around with the costumers than also the price I paid is affordable. You may found something cheaper, like next to nothing but: how often you must spend your time and money buying again the same product after a year or less? I’m a professional outdoor survivalist and a professional PSD and my Buff cotton has been with me for the last six or seven years and looks like new. Show me another one to last that long! Can be used literally for everything you need: from mouth filter in a dessert mission to a hat, washing cloth, bandana, hand warmer, water filter, first Aid sling, ice pouch when injured, electronics protective sleeve, polishing my boots with it, xtender for my assault rifle sling... name it and that Buff has been always in my pocket together with a pair of tactical gloves and it has never let me down. I genuinely hope that the merino one will last as long as the cotton one . The price and the delivery from Alloutdoor UK was superb considering the quality of the product so I strongly recommend it from this guys. They also send me a £60 wine voucher with it! Can you believe that? Thank you guys and a prosperous 2020 new year! Stay safe, Pablo G

A really good pice of kit. Amazon delivery driver left it out in the rain, propped up against next door's wheelie bin, despite people in the house.

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%) also depending on how much you talk the merino wool one can collect a little bit of moisture where your mouth is again making it just a that little bit more difficult to breath through, but the Coolnet version is "moisture wicking" so this doesn't happen when talking a lot. Heat: The Coolnet version stays true to it's name and is definitely cooler than the Merino Wool version, you can kind of feel the cooling sensation as you breath, perhaps that's why it feels slightly easier to breath through, however as i write this review winter is approaching so if you are planning on being outside a lot maybe the Merino Wool would be better suited for you. Comfort: The Merino Wool version is definitely more comfortable for me, softer on the skin around your face and neck, the Coolnet version isn't uncomfortable by any means but certainly is not as soft, but this could be due to the fact that despite both versions being "One Size Fits All" The Coolnet version is slightly smaller (tighter around your face) this could also be an attributing factor to why it's slightly easier to breathe through, that being said there are some negative reviews on the Merino Wool version saying it's too big & baggy for some people on the smaller side so buyer beware. Looks: Obviously this is subjective but to me the Merino Wool version definitely looks the best, it looks the most natural with clothing, that being said there's nothing really natural about wearing a mask in public so it's moot, but the Coolnet version can have a slight "shine" to it in some lighting and you can tell it's a synthetic fabric, also since it's slightly tighter on your face you are able to see through it very slightly in some lighting & it is easier to see the shape of your face and even some lip movements. Overall Quality: The Merino Wool version has a stitched lining around both ends which gives it a nice edge in quality over the Coolnet version which has no stitched lining or seam of any kind the fabric simply ends, also by default due to the nature of the material the coolnet looks and feels cheaper My Personal Recommendation: Function Over Form... Despite the Merino Wool version being "better" in many ways i would pick the Coolnet version every time mainly because it is easier to breath through, it doesn't get too hot & it wicks moisture (spit, sweat & rain) it may not feel as soft or look as nice but you can definitely breath through it & talk through it for a longer period of time.

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.

Love the light weight and warmth of this product Really useful to keep neck warm and not towarm loo tight

Well made - no question. Warm when needed - tick. Can't fault the versatility and it was good value at the price I paid. BUT I did not find this comfortable to wear. The amount of material, in spite of it being so thin, just did not sit comfortably on my rugby player's neck! Icebreaker chute for me - sorry Buff - I wanted to like you...

Hace poco adquirí el Buff Multifunktionstuch Wool Lana Merino y ha superado todas mis expectativas. Este producto es ideal para cualquier actividad al aire libre, ya sea senderismo, esquí o simplemente para el día a día durante los meses más fríos. La lana merino es increíblemente suave al tacto, no pica en la piel como otras lanas, lo que lo hace muy cómodo de llevar durante largas horas. Además, la propiedad termorreguladora de la lana merino es perfecta, ya que mantiene mi cuello y cabeza cálidos sin sobrecalentarlos, y me mantiene seco al absorber la humedad de la piel. Lo que realmente destaca de este Buff es su versatilidad. Puede usarse de múltiples maneras: como bufanda, diadema, pasamontañas, o incluso como una capa extra de protección bajo un casco. El tejido es elástico y adaptable, lo que permite un ajuste cómodo y sin presión, y se adapta bien a distintas formas y tamaños de cabeza. No solo proporciona calidez, sino también una gran transpirabilidad, evitando que se acumule sudor en la piel. Si buscas una prenda multifuncional, cómoda y con un material de alta calidad como la lana merino, este Buff es una excelente opción para mantenerte protegido y cómodo en cualquier actividad al aire libre. ¡Totalmente recomendable!

Good product but loses its original shape after sometime

Parfait, compact prend très peut de place dans une poche. Pleins de fonctionnalités super efficaces contre le vent froid qui nous prend au dépourvu en montagne, bord de mer, soir de sortie hiver ou fraîcheur automne. En prime peut servir en secours sur blessure ou tenir un objet brûlant ou gelé. Et premier filtrage de l’eau. Et j’en oublie certainement. Génial

Ik gebruik het dagelijks op de fiets als sjaal.

Warm. Soft. Breathable. Fast-drying. Highly recommend. The mask remains more breathable than ones not made of wool in wet conditions. I have been wearing these year-round as a trail running sweatband and ski buff for the past 6+ years up in the Rockies.
