Light-Weight Wool Headgear

On GearJunkie.com, Steven Regenold tests the upcoming wool version of the Buff, a fabric tube that has become a favorite accoutrement of fly fishers, hikers and outdoors enthusiasts in general. “The product is about 6 inches longer than the Original Buff, making it extra cozy when bunched up on your head or neck. The fabric is not silky smooth. Indeed, the wool had a noticeable texture when I first pulled the piece on. But on an eight-mile run on a 10-degree night — my Wool Buff’s maiden voyage — I never noticed an itch.”
