Buff is a Spanish brand founded in 1992 near Barcelona, built around an iconic product: the seamless tubular microfibre neck gaiter. What started as a motorcycling accessory has become a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts, from trail running to hiking and skiing.

The story of an essential accessory

The brand was created by Joan Rojas, a passionate motorcyclist. Bothered by wind and sun on the road, he designed his own seamless microfibre neck gaiter in his father's textile factory. It quickly became popular with bikers and then athletes, and Buff soon expanded its range to include other accessories: headbands, caps, and beanies.

The neck gaiter, the brand's signature piece

The Buff neck gaiter stands out for its versatility: it can be worn around the neck, as a bandana, as a beanie, or pulled up over the face, depending on your needs. Its microfibre material is breathable, windproof, and offers sun protection, making it a useful accessory all year round.

For hiking and mountaineering

In the mountains, outdoor neck gaiters are perfect for summer hikes to protect from sun and trail dust, or for high-altitude outings where the wind can pick up quickly.

Winter protection

On the coldest days, winter neck gaiters provide an extra layer of protection against cold and wind, worn alone or under a ski helmet.

To complete your kit, discover women's neck gaiters and men's neck gaiters.
