Buff says:
Our Windproof Beanie helps you battle the elements while being kind to the earth. Water-repellent, sweat-wicking Windstopper® technology by GORE-TEX® and a PFC-free treatment that is gentler on the environment. Designed for a sleek, optimal fit, with laser-cut perforations in the ear area help to improve hearing. For high-intensity activities in environments from urban to extreme, our Windproof range deflects the chill without compromising on mobility or comfort, with maximum breathability for when the wind is biting
Our Verdict
The Buff Windproof Beanie weighs 31g (size S/M) and uses GORE Windstopper fabric to provide dependable protection against cold winds while remaining breathable during movement. The fit is sleek and close, sitting comfortably under a helmet without bulk. Laser-cut perforations over the ears help maintain situational awareness, and the bonded seams with fleece lining improve comfort and durability. The water-repellent finish sheds light moisture effectively, making it versatile across varied conditions. It performs particularly well in moderate cold, where wind protection and breathability matter most, though it may not provide the same insulation as heavier winter hats. The recycled polyester construction adds sustainability without compromising performance, making this a capable choice for fast-paced activity in exposed environments.
