Buff Merino SchwagSchwag Grab: 5 Merino Buffs - We've got winners!
Everyone really does love a Buff, especially a wooly one, and especially when it's freeeezing outside. We got an avalanche of entries, but when we fired up the road.cc randomiser and dug our way out from under 'em we'd got five lucky winners.
And the lucky winners are: Ridire, Jon Mack, Guy Collier, nobled and ponnymeister. Get in touch pronto at info [at] road.cc and we will get some wooly goodness in the post… first thing on Monday (well it's cold outside and we don't have any Wool Buffs of our own).
For the uninitiated the versatile Buff is a fabric loop that can be used as a scarf, headband, hat, helmet liner, smog mask... you name it, if it's a part of your head or neck the Buff will be able to cover it somehow. Traditionally Buff have made them from a seamless cotton mix but the new kid on the block is the Wool Buff, lovingly crafted from 100% Merino wool for natural stretchiness and anti-whiff properties.
We reviewed the Wool Buff last week and reviewer Leonie Jennings gave it a big thumbs up. And now you can get your hands on one gratis, because the nice people at Buff have sent us five to give away. And not only that, you'll get the instructional DVD, some Buff stickers and Buff temporary tattoos (?!) all in a nice Buff paper carrier. And we'll throw in some road.cc stickers for good measure. And some Quality Street, if there's any left in the office Christmas tin by Tiffin time on Friday. Update on the Quality Street… they've all gone, well what did you expect?
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

mmmmmm buffy-wuff
prefer red or blue please...
Yes please
How buff are those Buffs!
oh yes please, if I win I can wear it at the National cross champs when spectating on the Sunday
It's jolly nippy in Budapest at the moment, so would appreciate it, I have nearly bought earmuffs...... (oh and I am very pale so if I had to chose please don't let it be white!)
tremendous, that'll keep the cold out...i haven't got 5 necks though, but all the same, if you'll put my name in t'at!!
I don't normally beg, but I will if you like. It's cold, wet and nasty out here when your only method of transport it bicycle and one of these would make me so happy I might actually burst. Or at least sing a little louder while pootling about on the Brompton.
Cheers,
Yes please - red ideally!
Buffs!! My favorite piece of clothing! Always cold as most girls, the merino one will deffo keep me warm. Can I have a black one please.
B)
Merino Buff? I'm not fussy when it comes to colour if it's going to keep my ears toasty
its so cold today and my buff was lost on my way to work today, Buff is on my xmas wish list
Ooh count me in plsthx, just what I need.
I'm afraid I'm going for the sympathy vote, I got run over on my commute home yesterday
The buff wont heal the pain but winning it would make me feel like my luck's changing in time for the new year!
count me in please as the hair on the head is no longer so this would help me keep the head warm
I also sport the Il Pirata look and would be grateful for the insulation.
I love buffs and I havent got a merino one, yet
An the idea of a buff tattoo, fantastic, it should be sliced bread, as its the best thing since.
Anyway, Happy Christmas and Happy Cycling
ME me me me me me me Please!!
Count me in please
I've just shaved my hair off so a buff is definately needed for my 5am commute. Red, blue, greyor black. Please. Fingers crossed
I love buffs I do...
'bout time we had your top feature back - I don't mind looking sheepish!
Count me in please. (See what I did there?). Been wearing my venerable old red bandana style one most days lately, and I need another to alternate with it. Colour is irrelevant. Thanks in anticipation.
Me please -red
i've always been gonna buy one of these, but i think i'll win one instead...
I wonder if it's my lucky day
I would love to give the grey one to my biking bad big brother
Buff me up good and proper!
Would love one for the chilly commute. Cheers!!!
Buffilicious.
