What is a Cut+Fire Resistant Light BUFF®?
It’s a technical tubular head/neck sock, designed to protect you from cuts and burns to your neck and face. It addresses the risk that the police, security & special forces, and the army face.
Light indicates that it is designed for active environments where breathability is required.
