For the fashion Buffs

[SadieKate]

This weekend I finally had the opportunity to test out a Buff and was hooked. Yellow converted me. Those things are great! Nice weight for under a helmet, conformed to my head, could be folded in multiple layers, could go over my beak, etc. I like it better than a headband. So, I'm pondering the wisdom of having Amici Veloci Buffs made. 75 is the min number.

Do you think we could do it? One would make a super nice holiday or birthday or secret sister gift. Runners and skiers would like it. What about the guys? Yellow's DH apparently is debonair in his and is building a collection. I'm hoping she'll post a pic or two.

I'm just pondering at this point. What do you think? Am I off my rocker? Should I pull my toe out of the water really fast and start running the other way?

If I commit on Monday there is a slim chance we'd have them for re-shipping in early January.

Snap, you can slap me now, but I do think I can handle PayPal this time. Well , BikerZ may get some panic calls from me anyway but I think she's learned which calming techniques I respond to.

Ok, no commitment unless I see lots of interest in the next couple of days. 75 is the magic number.

Editing to add this from a post below:

If we can make this happen, I'm estimating the cost per Buff shipped in the US will be $18 including tax and postage (no insurance), but we still have to get a final quote from the manufacturer. Shipped outside the US, I'll have to do some research.

I don't know anything about the polar and thermal Buffs. The custom Buff we can get is a lightweight microfiber and fits superbly under a helmet.

I'd get one. I always have some hair that's too short to stay in a ponytail. Perhaps a buff would be the solution.

I confess my cluelessness...even though I've heard people refer to it, and seen pix of TE members wearing jerseys of it, I still don't know what "Amici Veloce" is or what it means.
Is it an actual club? If so, what do they do?

[SadieKate]

What do we do? We're fast friends. Born of TE. The first post in this thread talks about it.

I have a buff, but geez, had to listen to that guy demonstrate it (at about 90 mph!) to figure out I'm using it all wrong!!!! (mostly, it sits in a drawer in a wad.)
But, for Amici veloci, I'd be in!

[SadieKate]

Was that the video? 90 mph?

When he gets back from his fun-in-the-sun conference I'll have him model so I can post some pictures.

Y'know, they also have PolarBuffs, and Windstopper Buffs, and reflective Buffs...

SK. I love you, girl!! Sign me up for TWO (2). I was hoping this would happen!!! Buffs are my usual headgear. These would be the regular, not the polar, buffs? I guess asking for both styles would be too much!! Let me know if you want any help putting this together.

Now, what about those AV socks?

[Bad JuJu]

As another person who missed out on the AV jerseys, sign me up for two AV buffs. I got a green one last summer, and they rock! Even more now that it's getting chilly enough to put a little something under the helmet.

I don't own a buff, but one has to start somewhere's right? I will take at least 1, maybe another for the lady I ride with.

[Bikingmomof3]

I already stated I will need one, but I think I will actually need 2.

[GLC1968]

OMG...how awesome...great idea, SK!!!

Sign me up for 2! (perhaps more, I need to investigate).

We are talking the regular buff, right? The polar ones are great...but the regular ones are better because they can be used year-round. I used to wear mine wet for biking in 100 degree temps and was nice and cool!!!

I've worn mine a multitude of ways...they are the perfect accessory for taming crazy hair that's not quite long enough for a pony-tail. My favorites are headband, really wide headband (like a head scarf, almost), and balaclava. The polar one is fun to twist into the most adorable beanie type hat, too!

[HipGnosis6]

I'm in for one.

Ok, I'm a bit slow. It took me a while to figure out what a 'buff' is. I get it - it looks like it will be great under my ski helmet! Sign me up for 2.
