Buff
Our history
It all began in 1991 on a bike. Charged with a passion for motorcycles, our founder, Joan Rojas, sought to find a solution to keep his neck and head protected on his cross-country rides. Plucking from his knowledge of tubular knitting, he churned out the first BUFF® headwear product, focusing on supreme craftsmanship, and tested it as he traveled the length of the Pyrenees. BUFF®, short for bufanda, which means “scarf” in Spanish, was born.
Partnering with superior manufacturers of raw materials, over the past 25 years, BUFF® has premiered and innovated the tubular headwear category. Our company-owned factory, which is located downstairs of our headquarters in Spain, allows us to ensure that, start to finish, excellence is built into every product.
Today, just as then, BUFF® headwear is a product built on this ethos of quality; it’s in the marrow of our company.
Technology has progressed and the industry of textiles has moved into a new age, and we have evolved with it. While we incorporate state-of-the-art fabric technologies, like COOLMAX® and Polygeine®, into our products, we stick to our heritage of quality and reliability. It’s these time-tested qualities that athletes and outdoor enthusiasts from an array of sports depend on, and why BUFF® is the original multifunctional headwear.
We invite you to become part of the BUFF® revolution. See for yourself why BUFF® headwear is the perfect accessory for any outdoor activity.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
QUALITY AND CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
We will do whatever it takes to ensure that our products are the best they possibly can be. This includes making changes in design and manufacturing to ensure that we are continually setting the standard for what a cutting-edge product should be.
LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY
We feel a deep commitment to the community we live in. We’ve made a conscious choice to bring as much of our production labor in-house as we can, to provide jobs to people in Bend, Oregon. This brings our labor costs up considerably higher than companies who outsource their labor, but it’s worth it to see the investment going back into the community.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
By existing on this earth, each and every person in existence has an impact on it. As a company, it’s our goal to ensure that our impact is a positive one. By manufacturing a product that is reusable, we reduce the need for cans and bottles that often end up in landfills. We have rigid standards for the sourcing of our product to ensure both quality and environmental responsibility.
