The BUFF® Guide to All Our Sports and Outdoor Hats and Caps

Understanding the components of a high-performance hat helps you make the right choice for every activity. At BUFF®, every feature is designed with purpose, comfort, and versatility in mind. 

Each BUFF® hat is engineered with integrated sweatbands that wick moisture and keep you feeling dry and fresh—even under high exertion or intense heat. Soft inner linings reduce friction and prevent irritation during prolonged wear. Adjustable closures allow you to customize the fit, while lightweight materials ensure all-day ease without compromising strength or resilience. 

Our hats combine protection and style in equal measure. Whether it’s a curved brim to shield your face or a foldable structure that fits in your pack, every detail adds to functionality. Strategic ventilation zones enhance airflow, while water-resistant coatings help you stay comfortable when the weather shifts.
