Our Verdict
The lightweight Windproof Buff is comfortable to wear, and It utilises Gore-tex’s wind-stopping technology to eliminate wind chill and offer additional protection. It is worth noting this Gore-tex is windproof but only water-resistant, so it will do an excellent job of protecting you from rain, snowdrift and sleet, but it is not waterproof. The windproof Buff is a brilliant layer suitable for skiing, hiking and winter mountaineering.
The buff is made from a recycled polyester and elastane blend. Only the lower half of the buff has the additional Gore-tex for protection. This means your neck can be protected from the wind chill, and pull the rest of the Buff over your lower face to add warmth without impacting breathability and moisture transfer.
