    Help me choose a buff!

    To disable ads, please log-in.



    Searching the forums last night I stumbled upon the "Buff Film" thread and decided I absolutely have to have one! So just out of curiosity I would like to know which pattern of these three you like best:

    Scully: http://www.buffusa.com/product/53
    Kmono: http://www.buffusa.com/product/2010
    Blue Sun: http://www.buffusa.com/product/2179

    I'm leaning towards the Scully print, but I'm not sure if it would look as good actually on someone's head because it's not really a blanket pattern like the other two...

    I like the scully one.

    I have a similar one (it's not on the website) where the blocks are multiple colors. Sorta jeweltones, purples, gold, green...

    I would...

    get the Blue Sun. You should get the one you like, not what you think other people would like.

    I like the Kmono pattern - light, airy and a power red color. The blue is too busy for me and the first one looks too much like a blanket When you figure out how to keep one on your head while running let me know!

    I vote for Blue Sun, but I agree with Nicole. Get what you like.

    I'd get blue, but my cycling sunglasses are blue, my bike is blue and white and my favorite jerseys are blue...so I'm biased!

    The scully one probably won't look as nice all bunched up because you won't see a lot of it...that's why I like buffs that are small all-over patterns best.

    But definitely get the one that you like the best. Go with your first impulse...

    Ooooh, the Scully looks kind of like a painting I have on my wall. If you don't get the Scully, I will.

    Thanks for the intro to this web site!

    I have the kmono one and it's not as sharp as it looks on the website. There's a lot of baby blue accents in there that you just can's see online. Don't get me wrong...I love the buff, I was just dissapointed that there was so much blue. Not that I don't like blue...I was hoping for just a red and white pattern.

    I do like the blue sun one, though!

    Oh, wow. A lot more response than I was expecting.

    I hate to say it, but I think you ladies just inadvertently talked me into buying both of them. (Kmono is out of the running because of the blue accents, thanks for the heads up oxysclips.)

    I don't mean to cut this short, but I need to get to work. Take care!
