For the fashion Buffs
To disable ads, please log-in.
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.Last edited by SadieKate; 11-16-2006 at 08:06 AM.

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?Lisa

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!

He was talking very fast. It seemed like his speech was 90 mph.

Im in SK but you may need to provide free instructions on how to get it on my scone correctly.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Yellow is the expert and Regina braved the video. Ask them. I'll just feed you for help with shipping.

I would take 2 (as long as they are not $50 apiece
)

I'm in for one (or 2 if they're close to standard buff prices). I missed the jerseys (waiting to get to my final size unsuccessfully), but this I could go for
Thanks, SK!!
Not to hijack the thread...but what's the difference between the polar buff and the thermal polar buff? I've read the website, but is the thermal polar really that much warmer?Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
