Buff Vuelta Tech Hat

The Buff Tech Fleece Windproof Perform Hat is ergonomically designed, especially around the ear to ensure complete comfort and warmth.

A technical and windproof hat that offers protection from wind and extreme cold during high-intensity activities. The hat combines several fabrics to offer total protection and provide superior warmth. Developed with Vuelta fabric which covers the entire head, the tech hat block out cold winds to keep you warm and comfortable on cold weather days. As well as this, a polar fleece fabric provides extra warmth and is extremely soft against the skin. The fabrication works to trap heat within its fibres to keep you warm at all times. The fabric is also highly breathable meaning it increases ventilation to reduce an uncomfortable heat build-up. It allows cool air to flow into the garment whilst at the same time allowing hoy humid air to escape; this creates a perfect microclimate for your skin to thrive in. Completing the Buff Vuelta Tech Hat are reflective details which increase your visibility to passing vehicles on late night adventures.

About Buff

Buff, the original multifunctional headwear. Once upon a time there was a keen off-road trials motorcyclist from Spain, who realised there was a need for a multifunctional garment that could be worn on and around his head while out riding in any and all conditions. Having worked in the textile industry for over 25 years manufacturing knitted collars and cuffs for the most popular football shirt brands in Europe, Juan Rojas set about creating a functional garment that could be worn in all manner of ways, replacing the need for separate items of head and neck wear.

Experimenting with different designs and processes, Juan eventually found a high performance microfibre that was breathable, moisture wicking and wind resistant. Juan then set about designing a proprietary knitting process that could manufacture his product in such a way as to ensure enduring comfort and durability. This manufacturing process, which takes place on a specially developed tubular loom, achieves an unique seamless construction resulting in a particularly comfortable garment that is extremely durable. The use of a sublimation printing process to transfer designs onto the product also ensures that the material retains its soft feel without the colours fading when either exposed to the elements or during cleaning. Juan called his product Buff as a derivation of the Spanish word 'bufanda' meaning scarf.

Then, in 1998, Buff entered a team into the Eco-Challenge adventure race and by the end of the event most of the participants had either requested or were wearing an Original Buff and were totally "Buffed up." Since then, Buff headwear has become a standard accessory for all adventure racers and athletes.

Buff headwear and has since become popular with millions of outdoor enthusiasts who benefit from its versatility: the garment has multiple uses and can be worn as a scarf, bandanna, headband, hat, facemask or wristband. Put simply: Buff headwear is uniquely versatile, designed to achieve a high level of comfort and protection from the elements.
