Outdoor Technology’s Yowie is very similar to a Buff, a tube-shaped, cooler version of the neck gaiter that, in addition to protecting your face from wind and sun, turns into a hat, a goggle case, a snot wipe, and more. The main difference between a Yowi and a Buff is the price: Compared to the Buff’s $20 price tag, a Yowi costs a mere $7.99. I’ve been wearing my Yowie everywhere from the resort to the backcountry lately. On a hike up, I’ll wear it has a headband to keep sweat off my face. When I get to the top of the peak and wind starts blasting my face, I’ll pull the Yowi down to protect my cheeks and neck. And then, at the end of the day, I’ll wrap my goggles in my Yowi to protect the lens from scratching and store them away in my pack. If you like the Buff but want something different, try a Yowie. One of them will cost you less than a movie theater ticket. —Megan Michelson
