I got a merino one a few years ago - it's great.
-
No idea what happened to my original buffs, I use some MotoGP neck tube things I found in TK Maxx cheap. It was a three pack, so after the ex got one that still leaves two. So far one has been enough to overheat, so if you're so cold I'd opt for two.
Tldr, layman logic says double up two regular. Additional air pocketing, ability to remove if too hot.

I use a regular merino one. Usually around the neck, but when it's below freezing I use it to cover my face. Works fine, but I do have a full beard underneath...

Balaclava works best, adds least bulk to interior.
Merino always recommended, though poly-based stuff works ok. -
Merino buff (or equivalent, the one I have is the only piece of Rapha I own) over your nose, headband (or skullcap if it's really cold).
Main problem is glasses steaming up when you stop. I set off like that and gradually move the buff down as I warm up.
Off the bike good for -20 plus windchill

As the temperature drops, it's reaching an average of minus three where I am, my face is freezing to my helmet.
Does anyone own a buff? If so, is it the original or the polar you would recommend?
