This is a genuine and original buff:

I don't think that the Buff was designed for those activities

All of the above for me as well, of course you can take the pads out of the helmet and wash them ?!

I hadn't heard of a buff until this thread. Just picked one up at my lbs. Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks everyone

Me too It really does the trick for me.

Alternative to a buff is a skull cap

Our 99p, or maybe the PoundShop, I get them all mixed up, are doing a fitness "promotion" and have some quite good skull caps for either £1 or 99p. I have bought 4. They are comfortable and don't seem to mind being machine washed.

Skull cap here. Oh and chuck the lid in the bottom of the shower with you once a week in warmer weather.

Aldi have a load of buffs from Sunday.

If it starts to get smelly (the helmet not the skull cap) put it in a bucket with water + Milton steriliser overnight. Needs a brick to hold it down 'cos of the polystyrene lining. Rinse well afterwards and let it dry off.

Even though I only wear a helmet when it's cold or when I have to for events I still find that it can get very whiffy even using a cotton cap as a liner.

I think I really need a buff now and the bandana look will convince my wife I am indeed having a midlife crisis

I own several buffs for winter use (merino are the best). For summer I am not convinced. Makes me hotter, and just delays the inevitable when it can soak no more up.

Being a slap head doesn't help, as there is no hair to soak up the sweat

My solution is to sweat a lot
