It is similar to the "Buff" but only in black. It was on sale here in Wichita (do-da) for 9.99 Just thought I would let you all know.

One of these is an Aerostitch Wind Triangle. Aerostitch Wind Triangle While these are more expensive, they are more appropriate to my needs. With my full face helmet, my chin is the only thing that gets cold. Just another option to consider. Here's a link to Dick's site... Dick's sporting goods. Last edited by Grump; 12/13/2005 1:00 AM.

Or did you mean Balaclava which got its name from the knitted hoods worn by the soldiers? Don't you just hate smart arses! And talking of buffs, I saw some at the local dealers that had the Triumph logo on them. Looked on the buff website but couldn't see them on there - maybe they are dealer exclusive? nobby ps, do not make the same mistake that I did and go to buff.com unless you are "light in the loafers" and looking for a "friend" - scary!!

We only have your word 'it was by accident' you found that site PS: Incidentaly, I read that for pretty much the same reason 'break.com' is now the new name for 'big-boys.com'. Pretty obvious that one really don't ya think!!??

(or perhaps not....did soldiers in the Crimea eat small, delicate flaky pastries... ???) Jan Never whistle while you're ****....!
