    I thought people here would like this one, they even have one for the Continental Divide Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. i wonder how many would actually use the map if they got lost?

    I have my maps and AT Guide for that, but I like the pattern. Ordered two from the Buff store. If they are good, I'll keep them.

    I dont find that much utility in a buff, but I dont have a bald head.
    I find the regular ones are too tight, unless you are a 12 yr old kid or small woman
    The XL ones are "almost" OK. Still a hair too tight for face/head sun protection that they are marketed for IMO.
    The only use I can really see is as a thin cap

    I usually keep a bandana around my neck, to wipe my face, snot, etc. A buff it simply uncomfortably tight to keep there.

    Bullcrap. I wear a 7 1/2-7 3/4, as in L-XL in headgear, have a 17+" neck, and have bought 15 regularly sized original and UV Buffs over a period of 5 years. The regular Buff is more than big enough for me, and will easily fit the vast majority of adults

    I fail to see what your large head has to do with what anyone else says they find comfortable. Perhaps you only use as a doo rag. Try it as sun protection for face and neck.

    'Course most small women are probably a lot bigger than I am

    Walgreens in Jasper, Ga has them. Note - they are not near the regular cotton bandannas. They were closer to the front of the store.

    I use these for wind protection on cold days. I like these a lot better than balaclavas and other wraps that are uncomfortable or cause a great deal of moisture to build up. if you set it up right, it does a good job in shielding my entire face from a wind.

    My wife and I got Buffs (original name brand Buff) for free in the survivor's gift bag we got for walking in the Komen race for the cure this fall. Proud to wear a girly pink buff for my wife (13.5 year survivor as of this month).

    Got my two AT Buffs in the adult large size - too small for me. Was tight under the chin - seemed too thin for what I envisioned.

    Oh, well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Back they go. I'll stick with my fleece hood and a bandana.

    The Walgreens in Jasper, Ga had a fully stocked display rack close to the front of the store. (they are not near the regular bandanas).

    I too like my buffs.
    I just noticed that they raised their prices on the wool ones 10 percent. WOW.
