why do they make them LONGER than the original?

Yeah, no kidding! My original ones are too long as it is!

I've sometimes wished my microfiber buff was longer so I could double it without exposing my neck. I think I'll like the extra length in the middle of a snow storm.

I think jobob has cut her microfiber buff and it hasn't raveled.

[GLC1968]

Yeah, I cut all my buffs except for my Amici Veloci one, actually. But I'm pretty sure we won't be able to cut the wool ones!

Phooey. Oh well, that's just one more wool item I don't have to buy.

So....our heads are shrinking and buffs are getting bigger....

That's weird. I saw the text about the merino buff being longer (not bigger in circumference) but the dimensions don't agree.

Merino Buff:
Dimensions: 20.7” x 9.6”

Original Buff:
Dimensions: 52cm x 24.5cm or 20.7” x 9.6”

BTW, I saw that they now have a headband buff would might make some of you happier. I think my big-headed hubby likes the length of the standard Buff.

I almost wish I'd never tried Smartwool socks. I like them so much that if I won the lottery, I would immediately buy about $1,000 worth of Smartwool socks.

Our wool Buffs arrived today. Yahoo, they're actually @ 28.5" x 9.6” so they can be nicely doubled or worn balaclava-style without leaving a gap at the back of the neck. Since they're about the same weight as the microfiber version this is perfect for our cold winters. Thin, soft and yummy.

BTW, the red (grana) is a sort of dark cranberry in real life. The grey is a bit variegated so it isn't boring.

I tried one at REI. Wanted a thin neck gaiter to pull up over my chin when riding. Found it was too big around (circumference) for this purpose. It wouldn't stay up. It didn't work for me as a neck gaiter either, just too wide. But then I have a really long thin neck. My TurtleFur neck gaiter is fabulous for keeping my neck warm, but it's a tad too heavy for bike riding.
