Additionally, in honor of Rebecca’s three World Champion titles, Buff, Inc. will hold a drawing to giveaway three Buff® headwear at its booth each day at 2:00 pm. For those who don’t win, all Buff® headwear will be sold at discounted prices throughout the duration of the four-day event.

Because of Buff, Inc.’s design and fabric technologies, cycling fans are discovering the numerous uses of the Buff® including as a helmet liner, UV protection for neck, reflective visibility, and more.

Buff® headwear is extremely versatile and can be worn in a variety of ways to accommodate weather conditions and personal style. In colder climates, a Buff® can be transformed into a beanie microfiber helmet liner or a balaclava/face mask to keep your ears toasty warm and protect from the wind, dust, rain or snow. Likewise, in warmer climates, a Buff® can be worn as a sweatband helmet liner to wick away perspiration and offer dry comfort, as well as a sahariane to protect the back of your neck from damaging UV rays.

The following styles are particularly popular among cyclists:

•   The UV Buff® is made from stretchy, seamless CoolMax® Extreme fabric that protects against 95-percent of UV rays, and absorbs the sun’s aggressive glare. Not only does the UV Buff® provide dry, moisture-free comfort, but also it has been proven to reduce skin temperature and help maintain hydration. $23 MSRP.

•   The Headband Buff® is an ideal helmet liner that stays in place at all times and keeps hair and sweat out of the eyes. Its thin layer construction allows it to fit seamlessly under your bike helmet and it can be slid down to cover your ears on cold morning rides. This Buff® is offered in numerous patterns for men and women. $15 MSRP.

All Buff® models, except for the 100-percent natural Merino Wool Buff®, incorporate Polygiene® for active odor control. Polygiene releases non-toxic silver ions that break down odor-causing bacteria to keep you and your Buff smelling fresh during and after your ride. Polygiene lasts the lifetime of the garment and is machine washable.
