Buff, shemagh, bandana and other which do you own

I have one those "neck gaiters". It's thin merino - a bit thinner than Icebreaker's version but much longer. I use that a lot, although the colour is a bit pale brown (ew!)

Second tier is my merino bandanna from Icebreaker. I use that a lot, but mostly when it's really hot in summer. This one is red

I think the pic answers that one. Marvellous for the regions it originated in, light weight, you get a cool breeze through it and it can keep the dust out of your nose and mouth.

Also got bandanas though

Buffs and shemagh. bought the shemaghs in Wadi Rum, was wearing them back here long before they became a fashion item. nearly always a Buff in my pocket.

I'd love a decent bandana but they're all really small. If they were shemagh size i'd get one

Buff and shemagh, however I was just convinced by a friend having one...the beardowear! This will be mainly for skiing and winter climbing, so I take no responsibility for people looking like pillocks walking around town with a knitted beard.

I just looked it up (because it annoyed me I didn't know):
The "neck gaitor" made from merino I have is a Buff. I was quite surprised as I thought Buffs was only made from man made materials.

I use a Buff in the summer as a bandana to control sweat when I'm working (It gets to 50c and 100%rh sometimes)
I also have shemaghs and sweat rags (both US and UK issue) for the same reason
I don't leave home without one.
