UV BUFF®-Vaughn Cochran Series   New 2010 Angler UV Buff Design  /  Vaughn Cochran's art and his widely recognized Black Fly is known by anglers worldwide. Vaugh's designs reflect his unique perspective as an artist and as a former Florida Keyes guide. His contemporary artistic outlook at the world of fishing, combined with his knowledge of life on the water, is always a source of inspiration. The result is art that is unique and unexpected. From fishing in tropical shallows to mountain streams, long days on the water can be rough on your skin, and without protection, even dangerous. Multifunctional BUFF® Headwear offers anglers protection from the elements, including the sun's harmful ultra violet rays.  /  BUFF® Headwear guards against flying rain drops and cuts wind noise in a moving boat, wicks moisture, prevents insect bites, absorbs glare,protects skin from sun damage and is highly breathable.  /  The UV BUFF® is the ORIGINAL BUFF® headwear made to be used during the hottest months of the year. We use Coolmax Extreme™ fabric, which allows our UV BUFF® to evaporate your perspiration quickly. A special 4 channel fibre forms a transport system that pulls moisture away from your skin to the outer layer of the fabric. It then dries that moisture faster than any other fabric and thermoregulates your bodies temperature. Another great aspect of our UV BUFF® is that it blocks out more than 95% of the suns harmful Ultra Violet rays!   POLYGIENE® TECHNOLOGY Now available with this style of UV BUFF®, Polygiene®, an anti bacterial, anti odor technology. Polygiene® technology, based on natural silver salts and recycled 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 sweat. 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.  /  USES  /  The UV BUFF® can be worn as a neckerchief, headband, wristband, mask, hairband, balaclava, scarf, hair scrunchy, saharine, pirate cap, beanie and bandana.
