This picture was taken during the 2003 Marathon Des Sables. It clearly shows that a Buff® Original can be used in extreme heat and sun to protect your face, even for sports.
The participant is wearing the Buff® Original. At that time, the Buff® Coolnet® didn’t exist. It shows you how good the cooling ability of the Buff® Original is.
Today the best product for this situation is the Buff® Coolnet®. The fabric is among the highest cooling in the world.
Recommended designs for extreme heat
It may sound weird but dark colours give you the best cooling and UV protection in extreme heat. Stay away from very light colours. The Buff® shown in the image is a custom Buff® made for the event.
