After spending my Christmas holiday in 80 degree weather, I came home to a cold surprise. Thankfully, I got a new BUFF® thermal hoodie to wear to keep my head, neck, and especially my ears warm. This is my third BUFF® product and I have yet to be disappointed. The hoodie is a nice stylish accessory for any shirt or jacket that doesn't have a hood. I like the like the leather accents and they prevents the strings from becoming removed.

The fit

The hoodie is lightweight and matches any sports or professional wear. I especially like that it fit over my hair. I have a lot of hair and I can't wear a helmet when it is in an afro. It kept my ears and neck warm. The inner material can be used to cover your nose and mouth. While it was chilly, it wasn't cold enough for me to use the nose cover. I did try it, but it was a bit loose. The hood was easy to remove when I go hot and stayed in place when I ran with it in on.

The verdict

I really like this product and I will use it for my winter running. I do not have many hoodies and I am glad to be able to use this in conjunction with my current running clothes.
