Pretty much an accidental discovery...but i started using both by BUFF gloves and BUFF "headwear" during the winter.

Half finger Ragg wool gloves give great insulation, but  provide a easy snag surface for small nymphs during winter. However, if u wear your BUFF gloves over...it is a great solution.

Regarding BUFF headware, i was pleasantly surprised by the significant insulation and wind blockage it features...and with thin profile,  u can wear under your baseball cap.

Give it a try.
Now u have a full 12 months worth of utility.

They make great sleeping masks two. Fold 4 time and they block light for shore naps, plane trips, etc. One can never have enough Buffs

Yeah I was gonna say the smart wool buff is fantastic in winter for fishing, skiing, winter cycling etc. When I was commuting via bike in the winter the smart woof buff was like body armor from the neck up.

I'm still disapointed they dont make a camo balaclava.

Look again. Last I checked plenty of Mossy Oak patterns available, some w/ insect shield, although not in wool. 

Cheers,

Hook & Hackle has Project Healing Waters Buffs with camo. They are made with CoolMax and are warm this time of year and cool in summer.
I have a Sitka Gear digital-optifade neck gator which has a nose flap to exhale so my shades don't fog up. You can get those at BassPro. It doesn't have the stretchiness of the Buff but its super comfy.

The merino wool buff is awesome in the winter. I use it fishing/hunting/camping. I never like the fleece one too much.
I'll agree with Rob, they make GREAT sleep masks both as a light blocker & as for warmth for those frosty nights outdoors.
I've been eying their Pro Angler gloves pretty danged hard lately.
