The BUFF DryFlx Multifunctional Headwear ($25) is designed for cool conditions and offers a 360º high-visual reflective pattern for increased visibility, keeping you safe at night. It features lightweight, thermally efficient fabric that flexes with your body’s motion – keeping you comfortable, warm, and protected on the run. The addition of multifunctional headwear will complete the brand’s DryFlx line, which currently includes hats, headbands and neck warmers.

“DryFlx has proved to be one of the top-selling new lines among our retail partners and through our direct to consumer sales since its launch in Fall 2018,” says Buff USA Marketing Manager Kevin Walker. “Due to its success, BUFF is bolstering this collection by implementing DryFlx technology into its most iconic product: Multifunctional Headwear. Our team is looking forward to bringing this game-changing product to market next year. We are excited to offer consumers such a technologically advanced piece of apparel designed to help them perform at the highest level,” continues Walker.
