Rachel Schack's review
I carry my merino buff with me on all adventures. This is such a versatile item to have. I use this for extra warmth on my neck and lower face. I use it as a head band or extra layer to wear under my climbing helmet. Even a nose hanky ๐ or a back up towel when you don't have a full size one!

Paired with a headband or on its own, it provides plenty of warmth while preventing my head from overheating like it does with a beanie. Pulled up over my chin, it's prevent wind burn and frostnip when above treeline.

Helps keep my face warm during those chilly mornings. I also like to wrap it around my wrist to wipe the sweat away
