How do you wear a BUFF®? (Demo of 13 ways to wear plus a bonus trick!)

Hi everyone, I'm really thrilled to partner with BUFF® and OMM to create this exclusive Wild Ginger Running headwear for my awesome, loyal Patreons. Here I am demonstrating all the different ways you can wear this stretchy, versatile tube of warming/sun-protecting fabric, including my favourite - the Pirate. But which way do you wear yours? Let me know in the comments below!

In this film I also show you some of the other head and neckwear items that BUFF® sent me to test and wear in my films over the next year or so. Like, did you know they also did warm, fleecy hats with matching neck-warmers? I am really enjoying mine now the weather has turned that bit cooler again here in the UK! (Links to all of these below)

All the different ways to wear your Wild Ginger Running BUFF® include:
Neckerchief
Headband (my standard way to wear)
Blind Chicken (great for a good night's sleep!)
Wristband (watch til the end for my trick with this one)
Foulard
Diadem
Balaclava
Scarf
Hairband

Extra face coverage for balaclava (3:34):
With the BUFF over your head and under your chin, grab the excess cloth by your throat/under chin and pull it over your mouth and nose. I know this was mentioned in a previous comment, but I hope this one is a bit easier to find 🙂

Here’s one I like (purely because I’m a paramedic and its handy if you’ve nothing else available). A splint for immobilising an injured arm. Doesn’t work on all types of arm injury but your basic shoulder injury/clavicle fracture... works a treat if you’re stuck for something to use.

The hat, or scull cap is brilliant under a cycle helmet on a cold day. Love your enthusiasm

A do the Babushka when I'm cooking to keep the hair out of the food. And now I know it's called a Foulard. So basically, I'm a French chef!

[MikeJenkinson]

Cool trick on the wrist pocket. I did a variation of that once to hold my iPhone and was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. My daily use of the buff is as a sleepmask.

Winter time, like now I wear my buff (with reflectors) as a hat. In the summer it’s a sweat catcher.

[bobmarley]

Lol at Britain this summer... Its really good as a face mask

[Myhradventure]

Fun vid! I'm a huge Buff fan and wear one in all my videos 😃

I`ve been given buffs as presents and never knew what to do with them so this has been educative. Still, not something I really have a use for as a man.

You can also use a buff as a hand held bottle carrier, i use mine to carry one 500ml soft flask.

Hi Claire, great video! Just wondering, is the buff allowed to be classed as a hat for minimum kit requirements for hill/fell racing?

[Tobs_]

cool, your neighbours must be thinking “what’s she doing now?!” thanks for sharing 👍

[yvonneupshecomes]

I sail a lot so loving this item Oh I like the Pirate definitely Thank You so much

[tkcannon]

Thanks for the video. I've never used a buff for running. Perhaps I should try one.

Hey claire I got a question is it normal for the original buff when u get it to be itchy?

[raymondfoo]

This is headband size or original size buff? I am gonna use them mainly for headband. Some people said original size is too much fabric for headband style, what do you think?

[boat]

Mine is too big, and haven't spent time trying to shrink it intentionally. Using it as a mask is too loose, so I have the modified balaclava where it doesn't cover the entire top of my head but up to the back of the top of my head... if that makes sense?

You missed the step for balaclava where you pinch under the chin, and pull it up over your nose, so the opening is still anchored under your chin.

[graemebrand]

As I normally wear a hat while running, I sometimes the buff through the velcro size adjuster and let the it fall down the back of my neck to give some extra protection on hot and sunny days

[fedupwithaccounts]

The def favourite is the sweatband with the hat a close second in cooler weather as there's less natural insulation as I get older :))
