    I call that a neckwarmer. How would you put ice inside it? This has me curious.

    I kinda put the ice in a row, and started to roll the buff so that it made a kind of circular tube.

    This is a buff:

    They are so so useful.

    Wow, the demo video on that site is pretty amazing. I knew a few ways to fold and wear these, but not all they show. Cool!

    Great idea! I use one in the winter to keep warm, but I can certainly see how you'd just roll up the ice cubes inside and pull it over your head. I'll be trying that for sure. Tulip, they're made of like a microfiber fabric. I love mine.
    Tis better to wear out than to rust out....

    That is so cool! I love my buff, and use it almost daily.

    Now that my hair is shorter & I can't pull it back in a ponytail, I like to wear a buff under my helmet to keep my hair out of my eyes & to minimize the scourge of helmet hair.

    A full size buff is a bit bulky now that the weather is getting warmer, but I cut one in half and the half-width one works great. The cut microfiber doesn't fray in the wash.

    I have a fleece neckwarmer that looks similar except thicker--too thick for the helmet. But I really like the idea of having one to wear under your helmet. I have a skull cap but the seams make terrible marks on my forehead.

    Thanks for teaching me something new, everybody!

    If this is of any help at all, they make a womens slim fit Buff. It's available on this web site link below. The womens slim fit Buff is the same size as the junior and less fabric than the original. I have all three sizes at my house. Well, and umm... original, polar fleece, fuzzy fancy polar fleece, junior, and slim fit womens.

    OH, I forgot my intro...

    Hello, my name is Miranda and I'm a convert Buff-Aholic lol.

    I hate hats of any sort. But, I will tell you wearing the Buff to spin class over the winter I don't even really need a towel in class anymore. They work great. Even though no one wants to be seen with me cuz I look like a goober-head wearing it. Well, except for my Buff loving groupie friends .

    Ditto, I've cut most of mine in half. 2 for the price of one! And I love the headband style too!
