SANTA ROSA, Calif. (December 22, 2008)- Buff® Headwear, trendsetter of popular, versatile and multifunctional head and neckwear, continues to raise the bar on technology and design with the newly refined Cyclone Buff®. The official launch for the enhanced Cyclone Buff® will be at the 2009 Outdoor Retailer Winter Market tradeshow.

“The enhanced design of the Cyclone Buff® will better serve all Buff® users and we are happy to keep evolving to the demands of all of our loyal Buff® fans,” says Shirley Choi Brunetti, general manager, United States.

The new Cyclone Buff® boasts various design advancements to keep you comfortable and extremely protected from the wind, snow, rain and hail. Buff® has enhanced the neckline design to fit comfortably under the collar of any jacket by extending the top section of double microfiber fabric by 15-percent and the bottom Windstopper® panel to be slightly longer at the front to fit the shape of anyone’s neckline.

The original Cyclone Buff® was developed in 2007 to cater towards those exposed to the fiercest elements. Whether on an expedition, snowmobiling, skiing in head-deep powder, or riding your bike through an ice storm, the Cyclone Buff® has you protected with its combination of double layers of microfiber fabric for moisture management, Gore™ Windstopper panels for total wind blockage, and PolarTec® 100 microfleece for softness, warmth and breathability.

The Cyclone Buff® incorporates Polygiene® for active odor control. Polygiene releases non-toxic silver ions that break down odor-causing bacteria to keep you and your Buff® smelling fresh. Polygiene lasts the lifetime of the garment and is machine washable.

The Cyclone Buff® is machine washable and comes in one size that fits most adults and teenagers. Additionally, Buff® has expanded the collection of Cyclone Buff® prints to include the following: Metal Red, Titanium, Crono-2, Romula, Tornado and Black-2.

$38.00 MSRP

The newly refined Cyclone Buff® will be available starting August 2009.
