I love my Buffs! I used to use bandanas a lot until I discovered Buffs. Buffs stay in place better than bandanas when used as a headband. When traveling I will use mine as a blindfold during plane or car rides. When doing activities I use it to hold my hair back and cool off. When it is chilly I can use it as a neck gater or ear warmer band. A buff is agreat lightweight item to have with you on trips and even a daily basis that can improve your comfort level and experience satisfaction in a variety of handy ways!
