BUFF POLAR £27

I had the reversible version of this buff for years before this one, and even though it’s become irretrievably worn out I still have it. This one is similar, with a microfibre tube sewn to a soft fleece tube.

This keeps your neck warm but is easier to breathe through and more comfortable when pulled up over the face. VERDICT Might be called polar but our mountain tops can be baltic at any time of year, making this an essential. USED BY Sarah Ryan, Trail contributor USED FOR 1 year
