Buff expert to the fore.

Wife has just bought a "Buff" for the son (he is going to Italy, skiing,
on a school trip) however it is a "polar Buff" with a black band of
"knitted thermal cotton" as well as the patterned part seems (to me)
that the "polar Buff" can not be worn as a cap/bandanna/pirate hat etc.
.. Does anyone know what I am talking about can this "polar Buff" only
be worn as a scarf/snood type thing or an I missing something
fundamental? I suppose I could put up a link to a jpeg if it is really
necessary, but my description should let Buff experts know what I am
talking about.

I have a polar buff and a normal buff. I've used mine as a neck scarf and as
a hat ... here is buffs own explanation ..

Either you've got that wrong or Roos and I were Infinitely Cunning all
last week when we were using our Polar Buffs as bandannas/hats while
skiing... (I suspect the former)

Make up the bandanna in exactly the same way: turn inside out and pull
both ends through against one another. Aside from the whole lot being a
bit longer it works the same. For the hat, put the fleece tube over the
head, put a half twist onto the patterned bit and then turn it down over
the fleece.

I've got both types; I find both equally useful and flexible. I often
wear my polar in 'russian hat mode' - i.e. standard buff skull-cap mode
with the fluffy bit turned up twice. You'll find there are many others.

Thanks all, yes Peter I probably am wrong (I have never seen one of
these [PBs]before). I (he) will just have to experiment before he goes
,see what he likes, what he doesn't, etc. .

I find the peaked Buff, which has a squishy peak sewn into one end, a
very handy way of carrying a peak which can be used alone or added to
whatever else I'm wearing on my head. Very useful for spectacle
wearers in the rain.
