    Which Balaclava

    Sorry cant resist to start a thread for this since there is everything else under the sun on here.

    After standing out in the cold waiting for Emi to come sprinting in like Bolt, and after running with my hat on with the hud of my OMM tightened as much as possible....it made me think "Why dont i get a balaclava".

    But i know F.A about them....so where and which one should i buy.

    Get a Buff and pull it up around your head like a hood then wear a normal hat on top Works for me and you're not stuck with a bit of kit you only wear a handfull of times whenever we have a cold winter

    Get a Buff Al, you can use it as a neck gaiter, beany, head band, balaclava snood or if you become a real student with long hair a scrunchy!

    Doh!
    Beaten to it by DT

    It's also easy to store by wrapping it around your wrist making it easy to put back on rather than having to search for it in a bumbag whilst running.

    Every outdoor shop in the land seems to have them Al. You got a Blacks in Preston? They'll stock them. There's instructions on the packaging as to how to make them into beanies, pirate-style bandanas, snoods etc. Brilliant bit of kit, epecially for guys like me with slightly thinning hair

    Buffs website, theres even a video showing you all the possible combo's

    My daughters got one of the fleece buffs for skiing.

    Watch out for cheaper brands which look as good but at 60% of the cost.
