We have more – a couple folks have said they want to be on the list for the overage but didn’t state what color they want. Therefore, I cannot give an exact count of availability. Best guesstimate is 23 red and 22 black. First come, first mailed.

Price
$18.50 per Buff --includes uninsured USPS postage to US locations
Australia, New Zealand and UK orders-- add $3.20 per Buff
Canada -- add $2.20 per Buff
All others -- add me to your buddy list and we'll figure it out.

Ordering
PayPal only to sarahandbubba at sbcglobal dot net.
A note about our friends at PayPal - if they send you an email stating that I have to approve receipt of the payment, double-check the email address you entered as it is wrong. Your order will be in a cybervoid.

Include in order info: name (real and forum), address, email, quantity of each color (black and red available)

Today’s models are: Chloe in the fast Red and Paulina the Pig in moderne Black.

Hey, everyone, would you please email me using the address above rather than a PM? I can't search my PMs to verify correct addresses, etc, but I can my email. Don't ask me why you can search threads but not PMs.

Anyway, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use the email address.

Muchas gracias,

SK

Besides, you'll all make fun of me when my PM box is full like I did it ALL by myself.

Anyway, I have been educated today, never heard of a 'Buff' before!!!!!

Can anybody advise, in the real cold weather, are they any good under a helmet, or am I being a bit thick?

Clockwork, I woldn't be caught without my buff in cold weather. One layer over my ears in sunny temps of 50-65 degrees. Doubled or worn as a balaclava for temps of 30-50. Below that I haven't a clue and I don't care to find out.:rolleyes:

It is very thin and fits very well under a helmet. Tons of the pro teams are buying them and huge with the motorcycle crowd.

I discovered that worn one layer in warmer weather cuts down the wind roar in my ears without muffling my hearing.

Sally,
Yes they are quite warm and oddly very cooling in the summer. I use mine to cover my head and face while I run. It is very warm and so light you do not know you are wearing it. :)

...I discovered that worn one layer in warmer weather cuts down the wind roar in my ears without muffling my hearing.

That's what I'm hoping for, if the temp is below 60 I get wicked earaches while riding. I'm gussing all those years of "swimmers ear" while on the swim team took a toll?

What she said!

Plus, a wet buff on a hot head does wonders for the heat. I was cycling in 100F+ temps and wouldn't have survived without my buff under my helmet!

Queen, me too on the wicked earaches with cold air. The rest of me can be toasty warm but the cold wind on my ears. Oy. Earaches and then a headache if I don't keep my ears covered. Much more comfy and versatile than a headband.

Hope not, cos I have just ordered one, and if the doggie comes with it, it won't fit throught my letter box! :D

Hi Bron

Just go onto www.google.com. Do a search on fat corgi, once the search has been done, click on Images at the top and there's your picture.

There are some beautiful pics of corgis as your go through the pages.

When I was searching, I also came across a cake tin you can buy in the US, it's meant to be the head of a corgi...................bit weird to me, just imagine cutting the cake............have to barking mad! :rolleyes:

Hi Sadie Katie, I sent you a paypal for a red buff! Thank you so much for doing all the legwork on this. I've been wanting a regular buff for a while. I have the polar buff and it's really warm, but too thick to be comfortable under the helmet.

All but a few of the orders are now in the hands of the post office which is closed today. Bubba and I made a late night run Saturday to make sure we got the majority weighed and stamped ready to go (I love the DIY machines they have now).

A few are sitting here waiting for the cashier's check to arrive and I need the PO to be open for the overseas shipments. The OS ones I hope to send on Wednesday.

My buff came today! It's great-- I work outside at night and it will be just the thing to keep my ears and head warm (and of course, it will be perfect under my cycling helmet for hair containment and sun protection). Thanks to everyone who made these possible! Now, how to get MINE signed by Floyd. . . .;)

Mary- I also love the shirt!! There is a video on the buff website on how use it. I recommend watching the girl talking about motorcycling, the guys is WAYYY too high strung.

Thank you so much SadieKate, I receive my buff yesterday and love it.

I never did order a jersey. I was fairly new here at the time. Should they ever come up for ordering again, I would buy one. For now, I am very happy with my buff. I wore it today to work as a headband to cover my ears and it worked great.

I had to go out and pick up Rx for my back earlier today so I used the buff for the first time. I got some strange looks (do most of the time anyways, but oh well) but I wore it as a balaclava on my return trip from the pharmacy and walk home from the grocery. The wind had picked up and temps were dropping, but my head, neck and face were toasty where it covered. I had my diskman on while I was walking so they doubled as ear muffs too, but even without the headset, it was nice. Thanks again!:cool:

My Buff has rejuvenated me, it's really cool. My partner is envious, so have now got to find one for him.

Today I slipped it over my head, just had it hanging loosely around my neck and it really looked good. I opted for the black Buff and the bright colours and 'cogs' really make it so special.

Can somebody tell me are the jerseys tight fitting or baggy style, or is there anywhere I can view them?

Thanx again.
