I got a "free" one when I did a kilo to go sportive a few years back, I used it in the summer on the motorbike.
I have a thermal one, wore it this morning.
The bottom third is this fleecey, warm bit and the rest is the classic.I love me a scarf at the best of times.

Merino one from Rapha, going strong for 4 winters now.

The standard merino Rapha Winter Collar has been my most used neck thing for years now.
The Rapha Deep Winter Collar was slightly disappointing; the double bit is annoying when it's all just worn around the neck, and the neck bit on it's own is too short when the upper bit is worn as headband.

99p buy it now ones tend to stay elastic better than branded Buffs in my experience.
Years of working outside meant I had about a dozen on rotation at any given point as I used to wear them as helmet liners as well.
Merino ones are nice but go baggy after a couple of washes and don’t cling any more.Some of the ones I wear currently must be 7-8yrs old now but still just fine. I also don’t feel so bad about cutting up cheap ones to make helmet liners/hair bands.

Another vote for the merino Rapha one here although the one I got free with cycling plus mag about 10 years ago if still going strong as well so...

Do you have one? How warm would you say it is? In the spring/summer I wear one on my head like a twat, and dont want it to be too toasty.

I wear a merino Buff pretty much daily in winter, off the bike as well. I still have one that I bought more than 10 years ago so durable too.
The Rapha neck warmers are very short so nowhere near as versatile. -

I love buffs, but almost all of mine are pretty cheap; I have at least 3 from Decathlon. Good for running too, as neck or headwear. Maybe I need to make a play into the luxury segment and try merino.
I've lost at least 2 rapha merino hats, somehow this seems relevant.

Yes ,Had one for a while.
Nice and warm for the Winter and good for Spring but would be too warm in Summer. -

Quite pleased with my torm and very good value. Bought the long version 4 years ago, still look brand news. Great fit but not the best for warmth on the coldest of days.

I went for another Buff in the end, despite their bad website.

I think -3c is about the only temprature I've needed a buff for a full ride. After 10-20 minutes on most rides I'm warm enough. If I had one with velcro or poppers on it I definitely would use. I've got a buff (TM) one and a £1.99 ebay job and really not much difference in them. Great for walking/winter activities, though.

Another ancient full of moth holes Buff Merino wearer here. It's baggy and saggy and just about falling apart but still does the job

I'd check on sportpursuit, there's always a bunch available and I got a merino one a few years ago I essentially live in.
It has gone a bit baggy, but it's worth it for me, and it'll take more time to thread my sewing machine then it would to put a line of stitches in to tighten it up. Next winter I will also get a fleece one for a bit more warmth when it's properly arctic out...

Merino actual Buff here and it's lasted for years. I love it. It hasn't bobbled at all and seems quite happy to be thrown in the normal wash.

I have some Buff brand ones and a couple of cheap ebay jobs, there's not much difference in my experience other than Buff's sizing seems to be fairly constant whereas random ebay ones can come up looser or tighter.
Has anyone tried the Aldi/Lidl ones that seem to appear several times a year?
A thread for all things neck related
I lost my buff today, orange with reflective stripe. I could replace like for like, but open to options.
