    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.

    Believe me, having that big a stash of smartwool socks isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    I'm with you as far as "crack."

    If I spend a day without wool socks when the outside temperature is below 50°F, I remember why I try not to do that any more.

    Then I do laundry. Or buy some more socks.

    Spend a lot of time organizing your sock drawer, do you?

    More like trying to yank back the socks that are swarming like suicidal lemmings out and over the back of the drawer into the no man's land of the inner bureau depths, desperately seeking to avoid being crushed by their sock brethren....

    In fact, just this morning I had to get DH to work the weird release gizmo so I could remove my bottom bureau drawer in a fruitless attempt to locate a 'missing in action' SmartWool sleeveless base layer vest. I know it's got to be in there somewhere!.....

    My cycling socks (and hiking and running and ski socks) now occupy the 2 drawers in my nightstand. Mostly, the wool ones take up the space.
    My dresser only has my "regular" 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.

    Thanks for the review! The Grana one is going on my Xmas list!
