The right headgear

Who is behind the BUFF brand?

Boldness, passion, daring, a willingness to take risks, innovation, professionalism and, above all, determination – these are the values that guide the entire BUFF brand. But how did it come about? The brand was founded partly thanks to chance. It all began with the story of one man – his name: Joan Rojas. The Catalan entrepreneur was born in Barcelona in 1946 and quickly discovered his love for textiles and creating fabrics. It turns out the apple did not fall far from the tree: His parents had worked in the textile industry since 1927.

Joan Rojas was also a big fan of motorsports. He always wore an army neck warmer on his own motorbike rides to protect himself from the wind and cold. However, during a trip through the Pyrenees, this was no longer good enough. So, in 1991 he came up with the idea of designing his own scarf. He began testing his prototypes in his family’s textile factory in Igualada. After working on it long and hard, one day he got it right: He produced the world’s first multifunctional scarf out of a seamless microfibre tube. After some time, his family and friends were also well-equipped with their own practical scarves.

As more and more people asked him and his friends about the scarves, he decided to launch his first collection for sale on the market. Three years later, the BUFF brand multifunctional scarves were being sold in France, Germany and Switzerland.

Where is BUFF manufactured today?

The company’s administrative headquarters and production facilities are still located on the 8,000 square metre site in Igualada, while the products are now sold in over 60 countries worldwide. In many places, people now simply say "BUFF" when they are talking about a "multifunctional scarf" – the brand name has become shorthand for the product itself. However, the BUFF range has expanded far beyond their bestseller: With their caps, visors, hats, beanies, headbands, balaclavas, bandanas and triangular scarves, BUFF has also established itself as a trusted brand among amateur and professional athletes.

The term "buff" in American slang can mean "muscular" or "well-trained". These are certainly characteristics that can be attributed to the brand’s main target groups: Whether they’re mountaineers, outdoor fanatics, adrenaline junkies or mega sports fans – people love BUFF because of its high quality, functionality and unique designs. The actual origin of the BUFF name comes from the Spanish word "bufanda", which simply means "scarf". An important factor for the success of the company’s scarves are the materials they choose to make them from.

Event tip: BUFF Epic Trail

BUFF proves its dedication to adventure and sports by organising the BUFF Epic Trail in Barruera (Spain). This international skyrunning competition has been held annually in July since 2016 and is a renowned race that is part of the Skyrunning World Series. International stars such as Núria Picas and Zach Miller challenge themselves every year to run ascents exceeding 2,000 altitude metres along trails where the gradient can reach 30%. Whilst running, they prefer to wear an original BUFF as a hat or headband instead of a traditional scarf and wool hat. You have to see these extreme mountain runners in action.

What materials does BUFF use?

Cotton is a thing of the past! BUFF’s product lines and particularly their multifunctional scarves make use of sophisticated technologies and materials to meet the demands of the chosen adventure or sport. This makes a BUFF multifunctional scarf the ideal alternative to a thick winter hat or a snood. BUFF ensures their products are made from sustainable, breathable materials that are almost exclusively made from recycled plastic bottles using certified Repreve technology. We have listed the most important BUFF Headwear innovations below.

Merino wool with degrees of thickness

BUFF uses the popular and temperature-regulating material of merino wool in a number of ways in a large number of their products. The thickness of the wool is characterised as being "lightweight", "midweight" or "heavyweight". These labels specify how thick or thin the merino is.

BUFF products are extremely versatile – just as versatile as the ways in which you can wear a multifunctional scarf. Below you will find instructions on the different ways to wear your BUFF.

Ways to wear the BUFF multifunctional scarf

Changing from a headscarf to a face mask and then wrapping it into a hairband in just 20 seconds? Only a BUFF scarf can do this and it is actually easier than you think. The following provides you with clear instructions on how you can wear a BUFF for a variety of different uses. We hope you have fun trying them out!

How do I find the right BUFF for me?

There is a wide range of sizes and a huge range of colours for women, men and even children. We cannot give you a general answer to this question, but your choice will generally take into account three aspects.

Usage

As explained in detail above, BUFF has developed a range of different technologies, especially for their multifunctional scarves. You can consult the categories to find products for specific sports and activities: A thin Coolnet product that can be easily worn underneath your helmet could be a good choice for riding a bike or even a racing bike. For running, perhaps you might consider looking at a product with DryFlx technology in a reflective design, while a Thermonet product with face protection might be more suitable for skiing. On the other hand, if you are looking for a product to wear during your free time, you need not look exclusively at a multifunctional scarf or functional accessory. We also offer attractive hats, beanies and caps from BUFF.

Colour

If you already have a certain model or range in mind, you can easily filter to look at whatever colour you want. BUFF is well-known for their extremely colourful and bright designs, which look particularly great on children’s hats. Bright neon is particularly important for visibility and safety in sports, while a simple, plain-coloured model is easier to combine with outfits: Examples include black, white, grey, beige, blue or olive. In addition to more striking colours like red, orange, yellow, green, purple, pink and turquoise, patterns such as a camouflage or leopard print add a unique and fashionable accent.

Size

It is easy to figure out whether the desired product will fit by taking a look at head circumference. There are video instructions on how to do this in our shop, and if you do not have a measuring tape to hand, you can print one out directly from our site. Many of the BUFF products come in one size fits all, so you are pretty sure to find one to suit you. The multifunctional scarves are also very stretchy, so you only really need to ensure they are not too large for you.

In the end, of course, what you choose depends on your own personal style. But we hope that we have been able to help a little with your decision. Are you just as fond of the varied and innovative BUFF range as we are? Then become a globetrotter and set off on your next adventure! But don’t forget your best friend: your multifunctional scarf from BUFF.
