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.

I used to go that way to work. It's nasty and congested. I doubt any changes will make the congestion worse.

Merino buff,perfect for winter biking,count me in,don`t mind the colour
Hope I'm not too late for a nice red one. Not got anyone to buy me a prezzie for christmas
Snowing outside so Buff would convince me to go out. Any colour, as long as it's not PINK
Just the weather for a buff, sign me up

Oooooh santa bring me a lovely buff

I always ride with a buff, summer or winter. In the winter it keeps my hairless head warm, in the summer I wet it and it keeps it cool and free from stripy sunburnt.
is -20 enough?
Yes please! Scarves just don't cut it under a riding jacket in this weather...
At last a thermal buff to rebuff the cold. I'm keeping my chilblained fingers crossed that I win one!
You can never have too many buffs! I'd prefer black, naturally.
Merino Wool - sounds lovely and warm for those cold mornings.
put me in the hat for one of them.
My aging collection of buffs is bobbled and fading - new wool would be just the ticket!
Any colour by the way. Red would go nicely with my frosted over face, but I'm not at all fussy, they all look lovely.
Think I would look buff, in the buff wearing nothing but a............
.......santa hat?!?
Happy Christmas xx

Please Santa, bring me a lovely red Buff for Christmas...

Does this mean I don't need to carry a sheep on my head anymore?
I'd love one please, the summer one just does not do the job, thanx
