BUFF CoolNet UV Half Neck Gaitor, UPF 50 Sun Protection, Breathable, Versatile, Quick Dry Face Mask, Bright Color, Adult Size

I used this Buff headband on a trekking trip to Cordillera Huayhuash in Peru.It kept my ears warm in the cold mountain air and helped keep my (unwashed, messy) hair under control during several days without showers.Super light, comfortable, and practical — I highly recommend it for anyone doing long treks or outdoor adventures where you need something versatile and easy to pack.I’m also sure it will work great for Pilates classes to keep hair off my face without feeling too tight.

I love the half Buff! I love and use the full Buff too, but this works better in certain situations.

Super nice to have for those hot sunny days working in the yard, fishing or going for a long hike, and you don’t want to get fried. It feels nice and light and not too tight or constricting, and it is very breathable. I also like the length of this one, it’s short than other I have, but it’s just long enough to not have a bunch of extra material. You kind of forget you are wearing it, when you just have it around your neck. Super easy to rinse out in the shower or sink and they dry very quick. I have several and will keep getting them

I used this as a bonnet for my curly hair which has a good amount of volume. My curls fall right below my cheek bones and this Buff stretches & fits most of my hair except for some of the ends. I have a big head and find it hard to find bonnets or hair pineapple wraps that fit while giving my hair some room and not having tension. Although, it did slip off during the night a few times because it’s not as secured or has an elastic like a bonnet but it is seamless so understandable.The material is thin, light, and breathable. I measured it to be 9.5 in W on bottom of logo side, 10.25 in W on top opening & about 9.25 in L on one side but other side is 9.5in L so product details might be off or different for me due to stretching while wearing. I’ve worn it all day & night without feeling like I’m sweating my curls out. I only wish it was a few inches longer for the times I might want to cover the ends too.

Pros:- light weight- dead cheap- multiple uses- different color available- doubles as a mask if you find yourself in covid superspreader circumstances- dries quickly- fits anybodyI have a couple of these and wear one whenever I'll be outdoors for a while, usually on a long bike ride for sun protection. Highly recommended.

More of a headband than a half gator

I love this thing. I’ve used it as a headband, a sweat rag, and today I drenched it in cold water and kept it around my neck during a run in the hot weather to keep me cool. So many uses and the fabric is really soft. I personally like the half size a lot better for what I use it for. I’ll probably order more.

Well made, good protection, and fit.
