Oft copied but never bested, the Buff Original Multifunctional Headwear (AKA Neck Gaiter) is still the top dog in its niche. It has even achieved name-brand-as-category status. We like to bring a Buff for managing extreme sun, and especially for glacier travel when UV reflects back up at your neck. Plus, Buffs are useful in all sorts of modes. Headband, hat, face-cover, durag and much much more.
