 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've got one...it's basically a foot long "tube" of soft material that can be worn in a variety of ways...I love, both for skiing, biking and flying.
BUT
I can't for the life of me think what they're called - the label says "hedy" but a google of that doesn't turn much up...reason being I'm trying to get one a for a friend who's a skiing virgin and is coming on a trip in a few weeks.
Here's a rather bad photo:
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Ed

beanie1 is correct. buff is the brand name for a company that makes them. other people make them as well, including tog24 who call theirs the Snood.
if you've got a tog24 shop near you it'd be worth a visit. i got my brother one a couple of weeks ago for £12. I think the Buffs are slightly more expensive. Both the same though.

Where I'm from, it's called a 'Muffler', which I believe is the 'old fashioned' name for it. I guess because they sort of look like the one on your car. I've also heard them called 'Gators' and 'Turtles', as mentioned above.
I usually just call mine a 'Neck Warmer' so everyone knows what I'm talking about. It's essential equipment in my book, too.

I think what eludlow, was referring to was the very lightweight material one that Buff make. I've not seen these made by another company, although I don't doubt they are. Neck warmers, snoods whatever you want to call them on the otherhand are made by numerous brands in numerous materials.
I love my Buff, it's a great sunhat for spring skiing!

You know it makes sense.

Hurtle, i think you're talking about something else.
I saw one once, my grandad showed it to me. He had kept it as a souvenir from some german he shot during the war. I'm not 100% sure what it was, but i think is was maybe called a "scarfe". Not sure of the spelling though

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

shoogly, it's not impossible, I suppose, that I'm old enough to be your granny, but see - inter alia - http://www.thermalshop.co.uk/neck-warmer-edz-thermal-p-8.html
Anyway, why pick on me, I wasn't the only person to proffer this term?
And, finally, Scarfe is a cartoonist, not an item of clothing.
Boom boom.

eludlow, I'm trying to be polite (this week). Oh, OK, you tempted me - that is positively the grossest item of clothing I've seen in a long while! Do you have a fartbag to go with it?

Since every manufacturer calls them something different what wrong with "tubey neck scarf things"
