Original BUFF M05 Neck Tube

Modern warrior's lightweight alternative to the old German woolen neck tube. For some, Buff is synonymous with light neck tubes. A truly versatile piece of clothing that bends to a multitude of uses.

A neck tube, or "toque", is something that should be presented from every human's jacket pocket on request. It packs small and provides basic protection from cold, and in this case, even curious eyes. It's also 50 cm long and stretchy, you'll have no problems covering your noggin and neck. The seamless design means this won't chafe when worn with helmets either.

A modern take on an old army classic

A neck tube is not a new invention, but this is a bit different compared to the traditional ones, however, the human head shape hasn't changed that much, so the basic design still works extremely well. Most notably the material is very thin and stretchy microfibre, so unlike the woolen ones, these can be used even in the summertime. These have a larger diameter also, so they can be folded several times and still be worn comfortably around the head.

Use

You can easily come up with 10 different uses (ranging from an eye patch to a scrunchy), or more. Some examples are shown in the pictures. and the cardboard included with the tube has more.

Suitable for all seasons, UPF 50 for shielding from the sun.
