I bought a couple OT Yowie's, the UA cold gear mask, the Coal Knit Balaclava, but I just want something to put around my neck that doesnt bunch up and keeps it warm. Any ideas?

Everything will bunch some, unless you raid Steve Jobs wardrobe and snag some turtle necks. That said, I have a Phunkshun 2L tube and a Celtek Payson for the hot days. I wear the Phunkshun for warmth and cause I don't like sunscreen on my neck. Which is why I also have the Celtek. Cause it's not warm, but still covers my neck.

I wear a Buff. They're really breathable and keep you relatively warm. For REALLY cold days I'd get something else. They're thin enough so you can pull the buff up over the bridge of your nose and pull your goggles down over that so you're fully covered. You don't feel suffocated and your goggles won't fog up. Great for days when its snowing and you're getting facialed by flakes.

They're really dynamic too - I turn mine into a beanie when I job outside in the winter.

Cool colors/designs, cheap and super functional. Highly recommended.

I've used AirHole masks for the last several years and been happy with them. My profile pic has me wearing one.

I do really like the idea of the Buff posted earlier as most days I want the protection of a neck/face mask but find the AirHole mask to be too hot.

I flew my wife to Victoria, BC for the weekend to hang out with friends and I have her keeping an eye out for one of the Merino Wool Buffs. They seem like a really cool product and you can't go wrong with Merino really. I was rocking some Burton thing from the 75% bin last year. It was yellow/pink and sucked to try to breathe through. Lastly does anyone know of a Canadian retailer for Buff; their sites lists none? =(

dude, wtf? Tell your wife to knit you one on the plane.

seroiusly. I just knit one up for myself out of a really soft wool AND it matches my kit. I might knit up a few more, too.



and can I just say for those of you with beards that...well there is nothing more fucking nasty and un sexy then frozen boogers and spit and shit in yer beard.

If you want to look like a disgusting mountain man that by all means have at it. if you want any chance with the ladies keep that shit trimmed up around your faceholes. (hey, we do it too. just not on our face)

thanks.

Sweet. I was thinking about that colorway. Obviously I ended up going with the other. I was trying to find this colorway.


Only place I found it online was on ebay but I would have to pay 14$ just for shipping since it's overseas. Not trying to spend 10$ extra just to have the blue plaid colors. Hopefully I can end up finding it eventually and not overseas.

I'm satisfied with the one I got though. Nice fit, lightweight and not too bulky. Exactly what I was aiming for.

Add me to one of the very satisfied users of the Cyclone Buff. The material hardly freezes, dries quickly, retains no odour, and fits my face very well. The bottom piece stops air coming through, but doesn't retain so much heat that you're sweating underneath.
