Color is not as pictured,
April 2, 2013
By: code23
from Midvale, Utah
"I loved the design and color as pictured online, but what looks like a light olive-green online is actually a bright mint-green that is far less attractive. Color and design aside these buff products are great. Comfortable, multi-functional, and very useful in the sun. I chose to go with a different design rather than give up on the product. Also, I don't know where to leave feedback about Orvis in general so I'll do it here. My only complaint is their shipping method. Mail Innovations is slow and inconvenient. It easily takes an extra 2 days over regular shipping and it still costs $10. Please stop shipping this way Orvis."

Size was a surprise,
December 23, 2012
By: Quimby
from South Dakota
"I have a FAT head and doubted that this would fit me. It did and I'm thankful for it. Good quality material well sewn. I never thought I would own one of these but I got my face burned so bad last summer on a local lake I know I couldn't fish in Florida this winter without some extra protection. I got one for my wife too. She loves it."

Great sun shield,
October 4, 2012
By: Quiglles
from Lansdale, Pa
"I got the "Meateater" design (pix of brown trout) . I don't think I'll master the 12 different ways to wear this hollow-scarf thing but it's good for added protection even this side of the bone fishing flats."

More comfortable than I expected,
June 10, 2012
By: Deale
"Spent 6 days in Belize. Fished every day for 10 hours.
This Duff saved the day. Kept ears, nose and face from sunburn. After the second day I started to feel uncomfortable if I did not have it on. To my surprise it made my face feel cooler by blocking it from the direct sunlight.
Would highly recommend product."

Use it!,
December 30, 2011
By: Searobin
from Martha's Vineyard, Ma.
"Once you have used a this UV buff you will feel uncomfortable not wearing it. Knowing many local fisherman with serious skin problems from hours out in the sun on a boat, it seems crazy not to take action. Cover your ears, nose and face with this fabric and you will finish the day not feeling like a grilled shrimp."

"I waited a while to purchase this thinking they looked silly. I'm sorry a waited so long. These are really convenient for protection from both the sun and bugs. I don't go fishing without it anymore. I don't always need it, but would hate to be without when I do."

Great Protection From Neck to Eyes,
June 9, 2011
By: Psychiatristaron
from Wellington, FL
"This product works as advertised. It is ideal for covering up your ears, neck, face and all those areas that just can't stay covered in a fast boat of wave runner.
Any odors are easily rinsed out, and the elasticity stays strong (at least for the few months I have had it.
I wish they had it in some solid colors..."

UV Buff,

"Trying to protect myself from the sun, I purchased a UV Buff. Had reservations about covering my face. But the Buff does not restrict your breathing and reasures skin protection."
