    The GP got the thermal, fleecy one for motorcycling (got it at a motorcycle show last year). It is too heavy IMHO for cycling.

    I'm in for one. I like the buff. It's also good for folks with longer hair as it tends to keep things neater back there.

    I'm a buff addict, already own 3. But, I'll take two Amici buffs.

    I love that video with the guy in front of the bridge doing the demos. Not so much of a fan of the classroom video.
    The best way to wear them, though, is just around the neck to keep the incoming air a little warm (cured my EIA) or around the whole head to keep the ears warm.

    thanks SK

    Polar (Thermal) buff is great for riding in the winter. Lots of options--balacava, neck gaiter, various layered hat. I like to style mine like a santa hat--fleece end over my noggin and make a knot in the fabric end, flaps happily in the wind behind me.

    The regular, microfiber version will get many more takers, though. Maybe if there's enuf cold weather gals, we can do a polar one later on. It would work for snow sports and other outdoor activities for those of us who live in colder climates.

    I think the AV Buffs would be the regular Buffs (though I'd buy a polar too...).

    I've been contemplating purchasing the polar and or thermal polar for a while, and was looking for feedback.....didn't mean to confuse the issue I want something to keep my neck *really* warm in *really* cold weather, but that isn't too warm for biking. Hmmm...perhaps time to start another thread.

    I think the polar buff is the one that is fluffy. That one is the warmest--really, it's too warm for temps above 25 degrees or thereabouts, so I'd prefer the thermal one (just regular lightweight polartec).

    CA--I found the best selection at the Buff website. Can't remember the website address (buff-usa.com or something like that). Best to Google it first or you might end up bringing up a porn site.

    Just FYI--I'm hoping TE decides to do Buffs in the TE logo or even just stocking them in other designs. I asked about it awhile back, but at that time, TE was going to hold off on seeing how popular Buffs would become. :-) fingers crossed that this thread will help push them into doing some up.

    Hi CA!

    Sorry for the thread hijack, but REI has some nice "neck gaiters" that might be what you're looking for. Some are very soft fleece - yummy.

    If not too late will take two (2) and will pay for them anyway you like.

    Thanks for the heads up. I really like all the cool stuff you can do with a buff, though I think I'm ordering 3 from the Buff website (and then, of course, my AV Buffs)

    I found one that's pink snowflakes with pink fleece - way too cute

    I owe you a PM - work has just been nuts!
