What do you do with the “buff” (the piece that can go between your hat & the top of your jacket?
You can do a lot with a Buff. It’s one of those pieces of gear that I take with me wherever I go. It can be fashioned into a hat, a headband, or a scarf around the neck. You can pull it up over your face to provide protection from the wind like a balaclava too. Super versatile and handy to have with you. They even have Buffs designed specifically for use in the winter too.
