I discovered a new use for a Buff!!

**jobob** · 03-25-2009, 04:11 PM

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!

anytime.

Even if you don't have ice - a wet buff under the helmet (particulalry if you have short hair) is a welcome thing in the summer heat.

I cut my buff's in half, too...except for my AV one, of course.

I thought you were gonna show us a photo of you wearing it as a tube top

Love my buff! And cutting it in half, wetting it and loaded up with ice are great ideas :-)

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

Oh my why did I read this post! Now I feel the need to add a slim fit buff to my collection.

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

I checked one out last week- they're really nice!

Now if only they came in the junior/womens "slim fit" size

They're the same size as the regular adult Buffs. For me, the adult ones are too big, so I buy the womens/juniors. But I have a tiny head and face, so don't use me as an indication...

I bit the bullet and cut my favorite buff into three parts. One half, one 2/3rds of a half and then the 1/3rd. I use the 1/3rd more than any of the others.

I was really afraid I'd regret it, but so far, no.
