Here we are, in the middle of the hottest, most humid days of summer. If you need a new, super light, stylish, functional piece of headwear to shade the sun and soak up the sweat, this could be for you. BUFF has both a cap and a visor in their Pack Run collection.
I am a big fan of BUFF products. I love the original BUFF to keep my ears warm in the winter, and to hold ice against my neck in the extreme heat of summer. I have a super heavy BUFF headband for those rare days in January when the temperatures dip into the teens here in North Carolina, and I have a very light headband that is perfect for around thirty degrees. When I had the chance to try out the Pack Run Visor, I jumped on it.
The visor is perfect for me. I have a lot of hair that has to be up on top of my head, not dangling on my neck or flopping around when I run. No hat will fit on top of that! I have a problem with so many visors. There are various brands that tend to be very thick (HOT), which leads to a weird shape. The average visor is also too big for my head (yep, even with the hair, I have a small head), and the velcro won’t hold it on my head since most of it dangles off, I have to pull it so tight. And that dangling velcro tangles in my upswept hair. I know, so many #longhairproblems.
The BUFF Run Pack Visor has no velcro or any other type of fastener. It slides on like a headband with a visor to shield the sun. It doesn’t move or slide, it’s super light, and it’s cute. When it gets saturated with sweat during my run, I can take it off, wring it out, and throw it back on.
I started my run wearing the visor the other day, but as there was a lot of cloud cover, I decided I didn’t want it after awhile. I was able to fold it up into a small packet and put it into the front pocket of the hydration vest I was wearing. Easy.
