I bought this to use with trail running in colder weather - primarily to keep my neck and mouth areas warm. Everything about this was great, except I did not like the Merino Wool feel on my face. I instead ordered the same buff, just not made from Merino Wool. BUFF is a great brand and they have lots of options for everyone. So, while this wasn't the right buff for me - they did have one that met my needs. I'd recommend BUFF to anyone.
