10 Steps to Moving Day with My BUFF EcoStretch Multifunctional Headwear

11/29/2021

Why I Always Have My Buff® EcoStretch

I always keep BUFF® headwear nearby because it works so well in every situation. I never go for a run without one. Besides running, I most often wear Buff EcoStretch as:

Headband and/or Ponytail Holder
Watch Protector
Instant Face Mask
Sweatband for Forehead, Wrist or Neck
Sun Protection for Face and Neck

Over Thanksgiving weekend we helped my daughter move. And of course I wore a BUFF® for the job. Here's how I used it throughout the day:

I like to wear my Buff around my neck. BUFF makes so many fun patterns and colors you can find one to match any outfit. This is my current favorite HOLO MULTI. I'm a big fan of pinks and any color of blue. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

Disclaimer: I received a BUFF® Original EcoStretch to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews!

10 Steps to Moving Day

Buff wrapped around a very hot cup of coffee to prevent burning my fingers.

But first, coffee. This cup was missing the hand protector thingy, so I improvised with my BUFF. No need to hurt my fingers before lifting the first box. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

Making progress! (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

I laid my BUFF in the sun after loading the car with heavy boxes. It's made of quick drying recycled material. After a few minutes it was back to work. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

It's Florida, so there's sweat. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

In my mind, the only thing harder than filling a truck is driving it on unfamiliar highways. Luckily, I drove the follow up car. It was easy to follow the big truck. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

Made it with everything intact. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

I made a conscious effort to get in lots of steps, but I didn't expect to hit 10 miles. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

Bring on the furniture. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

Another good use for BUFF? Fill it with ice and put it on sore muscles! (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

All smiles after mission accomplished! Moving sucks, but it's easier with family! (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

My Review of BUFF® True Original EcoStretch Multifunctional Neckwear

10/26/2021

Buff® is Celebrating 30 Years of Adventures

BUFF® Original EcoStretch is celebrating 30 years in business, which seems like a good time to talk about what a great product it is. It can be almost anything you want it to be in support of adventures in running, walking, biking, hiking, skiing and everyday life.

BUFF® is known for its simplicity and adaptability. The seamless moisture-wicking material helps you manage sweat, wind, and pretty much any weather. In fact, a BUFF® can keep you cool and protected from UV rays in the Summer, or warm and cozy during cold weather.

My newest Buff® is the Original ECOStretch in the Holo Multi pattern.

I love these colors! The clouds in the pattern and the colors make me think of soothing sunsets.

The Latest BUFF® Colors and Patterns Include Survivor and Baniff Film Festival

BUFF® gives you so many color and pattern choices! They're constantly coming up with new ideas. Right now they have SURVIVOR Season 41 (41!?!) Buffs!

BUFF® celebrates everything from National Parks to The Grateful Dead to individual States. And the colors and patterns are AWESOME.

New Buff patterns featuring Survivor TV show and Baniff Film Festival

All the fun colors and patterns mean your BUFF will match any running gear you already have!

I wear a Buff around my neck if I think I'll need fast access to a face mask.

Over 12 Ways to Wear a BUFF

This BUFF® How To Video shows you the most popular ways to wear your BUFF®

Another way you can wear a BUFF is wrapped around your wrist to protect your watch.

I wear my Buff EcoStretch wrapped around my wrist to protect my watch & to wipe sweat off my face.

I consider it my personal challenge to come up with even more ways to wear my BUFF® Original EcoStretch.

Here’s one I use alot: wrapped around my wrist on either side of my watch. Why do I like it so much?

Protects your watch from sweat and the elements (esp. on trails)
Prevents peeking at pace when you cover your watch face
Easy access to wipe your face and eyes
Looks cute (This is the Holo Multi Design)

Why I Use Buff® Headgear

BUFF® Original EcoStretch has 4-way stretch which means it’s flexible for most situations. I’ve used it as a pony tail holder, headband, neck sunscreen, etc. It's lightweight and easy to throw in my bag or backpack for a race, travel or the beach.

One of the best features is that all BUFF®s are SEAMLESS. That means you can wear it around your arm, leg, neck, head or whatever and it won’t chafe. In fact, you could use it as a barrier to prevent chafing — if a collar or sleeve is irritating your skin.

FTW — every Original EcoStretch is 95% recycled fabric. It’s equal to 2 recycled plastic bottles. You could be wearing a couple of bottles you recycled at your last race!

I love when a product does more than one thing — and does them well. Buff® can be a headband, ear muffs, a mask, a hat, a scarf, and much more. And that's why I'll keep adding them to my wardrobe.
