Re: Must have to keep warm while skiing

That looks pretty good, but its always my nose that gets the coldest...I think I need one of those bank robber masks/baclavas. Do they have that version? I didn't see it there.

Is that a Buff copy, or does it just look like one?

No idea what a buff is, all i know is that they are fantastic in keeping you warm and it also lets your skin breath

Re: Must have to keep warm while skiing

It looks exactly like a Buff to me. I have two and find them very useful and versatile. Extremely lightweight to tuck into a pocket etc. when not wanted. Equally useful in summer

Re: Must have to keep warm while skiing

You won't catch me going out in the snow in the Buff.

Although it does look quite cosy.

Sure; it can get mighty cold above 2,500 meters even in summer.

Useful to keep the sun of your head, especially for the likes of me with fair skin and a bit thin on top (See the Sahariane or Pirate in my last post)

For those of you with more hair it could make a handy headband in various forms.

Of course, these work better with the microfibre versions rather than the thicker fleece types.

They were also made famous by Ewan McGregor in The Long Way Round

Thank you Sutter, my helmet is often cold when skiing, you may have warmed it.

It's more or less a copy Buff yes. I have something similar I use for cycling, very versatile, very lightweight and you can scrunch it up in your pocket easily.

Does your helmet have vents that you can close when it is cold? The better helmets (read more expensive) come with vents that can be opened/closed. I find when my are closed that the helmet alone keeps my head warm enough.

It seems that the less expensive helmets are based on a bike helmet design that have the vent holes always open so the heat from your head is always escaping.

Thanks for this!

I purchased myself an official Buff after reading your post. Would have worked out more expensive to order a Wundertuech as I am back in the UK, plus I needed something for my neck/face for when I go boarding soon.

Rasta-coloured buff, wahooo!

There are two 'Rasta' styles here among nearly 200 options. Enough choice of styles to suit any taste I would guess. Perhaps you could go with one to match each outfit, or don't they have enough choices for that
