Fishing Overview

The word of mouth about the High-UV Buff® is spreading quickly in the Australian fishing scene.
Elite sports fishermen in the US started wearing them as the sun and wind protection for their face and now the High-UV Buff® appear on cover shots in Australian fishing mags.

The most popular application is the face mask (and scarf) because it:

  • let's you Skip Sun Screen
  • lets you See More Fish
  • Feels Comfortable even when Worn All Day


Why you can skip sun screen with the High-UV Buff®

Saltwater_Experience_Fishing_face_Protection_6__copyright_Pat_Ford_220wideIt needs UVA and UVB blockage to prevent skin cancer. Normal fabrics like T-shirts don't do this. Means you can avoid sunburn with them but still get skin cancer.

The High-UV Buff® is the only tube in the world that provides sufficient protection.

Means you can wear it as face mask to skip sun screen in your face. No smelly stuff on your wonderful bait any more.

(we assume that you already wear sun-protection clothing with UPF rating and only have the face left to cover)

How can you see more fish with a face mask?

You need polarised sunnies to see what's in the water. Our white skin destroys a chunk of this effect by reflecting the sun to the back of the sunnies. By closing the gap between sunnies and skin you experience the true potential of polarization.

The Buff® as a tube fits snug over your glasses and covers this gap.

Why Pro's love wind protection

What a Catch!Wind protection is not that obvious but probably the most important bit. Ever wondered why you feel so drained at the end of a great fishing day? It's the wind that puts a strain on your entire body and virtually sucks your energy away.
A High-UV Buff® as a face mask and a cap prevent this energy drain. You don't have to hide in the wind shade. You can stand tall on the bow or on the cliff and return home with lot's more energy left. For a pro being more focused for a longer time simply results in better catch.
For you it offers a nice advantage over your mates. Guess who has the last laugh at the end of the day. The drained, tyred one or the smiling energetic fisho that has more than one great story to talk and laugh about. I hope this gives you a bit of the drift.

I don't need comfort - I'm tough

We still get this feedback from Hemingway-Look-Alikes. Our response to this attitude: Sure. That's why you don't mind something in your face that itches, smells and makes you sweat.

The textile engineer behind Buff® realised two decades ago that it is comfort that makes our day. No matter how tough we are: Nothing beats feeling good while doing what we love most.

A High-UV Buff® is guaranteed itch free for the lifetime of the fabric and almost always feels good in any weather. That's why the pro's wear it.

The High-UV Buff® is your choice

High_UV_Buff_PackagingBecause it is the only tube only the market that comes with a guaranteed UV blockage of 95% (UPF 20).

Bonus 1 - Kills Germs, Kills Odour

Polygiene_HowItWorks_1Want to breed germs in front of your mouth? Want to wear a face mask that smell like a skunk?

The Buff® is so high-tech that it kills any microbes that might harm you. A Buff® is like Dettol® in fabric form. It will not smell nor will it give any microbes a chance to grow and spread on to you. Really important for a fabric you have in your face all day.


Polygiene Logo "Fresh in Action"The technology behind this is called Polygiene® and is commonly found in hospital equipment or areas where you need the best protection possible. It stays in the fabric for a lifetime and can not be removed.

Bonus 2 - Itch & Toxic Free

Oeko-Tex Certificate for Adult and Junior Buff®You might not be aware of it but toxic stuff like fabric softeners enter your body really easily around your head and feet. You might not feel it straight away but it all ads up.

Buff® is free of all this and gets certified every year to make sure that all suppliers do the right thing.

Bonus 3 - Far more than a Face mask plus Cooling

Tubes come with the advantage to all other headwear that you can wear them in minimum 8 different ways. Scarf, face mask, balaclava, ear warmer, scrunchy, alice band.

The High-UV Buff® adds more to it by also being one of the highest cooling fabrics in the world. It is the only tube available with the rating Coolmax EXTREME. Means you can add neck cooler, wrist cooler, sweatband, legionaire-style cap and bandana to the list and use it also in the tropical north.
