I got one when the link was posted on THT. Never had a buff before and this was a good time to try one. Good stuff. Thanks! I’m going to have to buy a 2nd at some point though. The gf commandeered mine to wear to keep her hair in check in the wind.
Its what you wear over your face to protect it from the sun
Lol! sunscreen has always worked for me. People wear those rediculous things because they think its the cool thing to do…
I used to think the exactly same way you did, and made fun of them just like you too…until I tried one out.
When fishing I never reapply sunscreen throughout the day. Now just cruising around and going to the beach is a different story. My neck always get burned when fishing and not reapplying sunscreen, pretty badly usually. Not anymore. I don’t ever pull it up over my face, just around my neck. Other plus is no more greasy suncreen smeared all over the steering wheel, rods, reels, etc.
I don’t like wearing a buff all that much, but I like it a whole lot better than wearing sunscreen. No matter how careful I am when applying sunscreen to my face, I end up getting some in my eyes at some point during the day. A long-sleeve shirt with a picture of a fish or boat on it, a wide-brimmed hat, buff, and sunglasses and I’m good-to-go. No sunscreen needed and I can always strip down for 30 minutes and get some free vitamin D! Sunscreen blocks the absorption of vitamin D…not good.
If you’re lucky enough to be fishing, you’re lucky enough.
