Hot Weather Running Hack: How to Make an Ice Necklace with Classic Buff Headwear

7/14/2020

 
I say this EVERY Summer because it's true. Make yourself an ice necklace to stay cooler when you're working or playing outside in the heat!

My ice necklace is better than ever because my new BUFF is super-stretchy wicking material. It’s easy to slip on when it’s packed with ice. Check my easy DIY Running Hack below.

Make an Ice Necklace
​to Beat the Summer Heat


1. Grab a Classic BUFF®

If you use the classic BUFF® headwear you'll have an easier time making your ice necklace. The classic is longer than a headband and holds more cubes! More ice equals more cooling.

FYI: BUFF® CoolNet UV+® Multifunctional Headwear is 95% recycled. It's made with performance microfiber, cooling technology, and odor control. Perfect, right? Well there's more. ​The 4-way, seamless, ultra stretch material gives you UPF 50+ sun protection. That means you're cooling your neck AND protecting it from too much sun.

2. Gather Some Ice

Nope, Get More Ice

It's hot out there. The ice is gonna melt as soon as you start to move. The beauty of the BUFF® is there's plenty of room to stuff it FULL of ice. The super-stretchy material means you can put in lots 'o' ice!

3. Stuff The Ice Into Your Buff

Fold the BUFF® in half to form a pocket for your ice. Fill 'er up with the cubes.

4. Fold the BUFF® Over to Create a Necklace

Fold the Buff over onto itself to make an ice necklace like you see below.

5. Put on Your Ice Necklace

The super stretch CoolNet UV fabric makes it easy to put the icy BUFF® on over your head.

6. Stay Cool While You Run, Walk or Mow the Lawn

Check out my lawn-mowing, ice necklace-wearing pic below. I kept my body temp down with the ice water dripping down my front and back from the BUFF®.

After the ice melted, my shirt and BUFF® stayed cool. I looked soaking wet, but guess what?! I didn't overheat on a very hot Florida day. Please note, I also drank my electrolytes before, during, and after working in the yard.

So, there you have it. Grab some cool and UV protection with an ice necklace before you go on a run or workout in the Summer heat.
