Just released by Buff, our new Insect Shield® UV Buff®. Originally slated for a February 2009 release, this special Buff is available immediately. This limited edition collection will consist of 4 designs, with only the Rain Mist design being available now.

The Insect Shield® UV Buff® is infused with an odorless insect repellent that is effective against most biting insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers and midges. The EPA requires extensive effectiveness data to prove a product’s ability to repel insects, and Insect Shield has passed all EPA testing levels. Many species and varieties of these insects have been tested, including those that can carry dangerous diseases. This technology will last through 70 washings, and is EPA registered to perform to that level. The result…effective, odorless insect protection that lasts the expected lifetime of the Buff.

Our new Insect Shield® UV Buff® also has Polygiene®, an anti bacterial, anti odor technology. Polygiene® technology, based on natural silver salts and recylced silver, is incorporated into the fabric, not just the individual fibers or panels. Polygiene® protects against odor and degradation from odor causing bacteria, thus ensuring freshness and comfort no matter how hot the conditions may be. Silver has a natural ability to prevent the growth of bacteria and has been known as an antibacterial for thousands of years. Preventing bacteria growth means you’ll also prevent body odors from being produced by sweating.

Polygiene® qualifies for the OEKO-TEX standard 100 and has undergone dermatological testing. It will not cause skin irritation, and the active ingredient has been proven to stay in the fabric, no matter how many times you may wash your garment.

Throw in the 95% Ultra Violet protection that all UV Buffs provide, and you feel youre protected out in the wild, or your back yard when you are wearing Buffs newest release with Insect Shield® repellent technology.

I always wear my UV Buff over here in Baghdad. Our armored vehicle had broken down, and it was 130 degrees and extremely dusty. The Buff did a great job of keeping me cooler than I would have been if I had not been wearing one. When I wear it as a face mask, it keeps the dust and sand out of my face and allows me to breathe easier. When I get super hot, I take it off and soak it in water and put it back on around my neck. This really helps cool me down!

I wear Buffs(so do all my diver buddies). They are especially great when we are up on the ocean waiting for the boat to pick us up. It helps keep the hot sun off our heads. I not only wear them while on the boat, but wwash them out when I get back to the shore and they are great to wear out at night as well. What a  great versatile and beautiful product PlanetBuff!

The below photo was taken while hiking the dunes of Namibia. It was extremely cold out at sunrise(45 degrees) and the Buffs came in quite handy as a neck and face guard. When the wind kicked up, it also kept the sand out of our faces. We had an amzing trip and the Buffs were used all the time. We also visited Coffee Bay, which was located on the Indian Ocean. There it was hot, but we wore our Buffs there too to help keep the hot sun off our heads.

Even though we used them over day, one of the best things about the Buffs is that they never smelled, even after days in the sandy desert…and days by the salty oceans. What a great versatile accessory.
