Buff Original Multifunctional Headwear

$ budget-friendly within winter gear

The single highest value-per-dollar item in winter running. Neck gaiter, face cover, ear band, emergency toque — it's one tube of fabric that does six jobs. Pull it over your nose for the into-the-wind half of the run, drop it for the way home. Every Canadian runner owns at least three and can locate none of them.

Best for: the first 10 minutes of every cold run

Worth knowing about winter gear

  • Cotton kills the vibe: it soaks up sweat, holds it against your skin, and turns kilometre six into a refrigeration experiment — merino or synthetic, always.
  • Traction is for ice, not snow: fresh snow just needs your normal shoes and lower expectations, but the shiny grey stuff needs spikes.
  • A headlamp beats reflective-only: reflective gear needs a driver's headlights to work, while a headlamp is visible from every angle and shows you the ice first.
  • The treadmill isn't cheating: when it's freezing rain on glare ice, the runner who lives to train tomorrow wins — save the heroics for race day.
