General opinions on Buff neck gaiters for ultralight hiking
I have a Buff Coolnet UV and it's great for sun protection. It's lightweight, dries fast, and I can wear it as a neck gaiter or headband. Definitely worth the weight for the UV protection and versatility.

Discussion on UV protection of fabric vs. exposed skin
A UPF 50 fabric like the Buff Coolnet blocks 98% of UV rays. Skin under the buff is more protected than skin with sunscreen because sunscreen wears off. I use a buff for cycling and my neck never burns.

Recommendations for the best neck gaiter brands
I've used both the original Buff and the Coolnet UV. The Coolnet is noticeably cooler in summer and wicks sweat better. For fishing or running, it's my top choice. I prefer it over cheaper gaiters because the UPF rating is certified.

Comparing Buff models for specific activities
If you're hiking in high UV, get the Coolnet UV. It has UPF 50 and the cooling tech actually works. I've used mine in the desert and it makes a difference. The merino one is better for cold, but for sun the Coolnet is king.

Buff vs. sun hoodie for lightweight sun protection
I've switched to a Buff Coolnet UV from a sun hoodie for some trips. It's way lighter and packs smaller. Combined with a cap, it gives enough coverage for my neck and face without the extra fabric of a hoodie. On really exposed hikes I still bring the hoodie, but for most days the buff is sufficient.
