A Buff
What’s a buff? It’s essentially just a tube of stretchy, lightweight material that can be used as a scarf, headband, face protector, sun-shield and much more. They are thin enough that they can be worn under a bicycle helmet and when they are worn around the neck they can seal any gaps around the jacket collar.
If you are hiking somewhere hot, you can even dip it in a stream and wear it around your neck to keep you cool. Here’s a list of 13 ways to wear a Buff. That list is by no means the limit, though — you’re sure to find plenty of uses for your buff which is why you should throw one in your adventure bag no matter where you’re headed.
