This might seem like an odd opinion to have as an transplant to the West Coast, but I love our winter. The temperatures dip down and everyone busts out their sweaters, but it's still warm enough to sit outside and bask in that famous California sunshine. But an LA winter can also bring about that trick weather where sunshine and shade bring about two very different feelings -- one minute you're throwing on extra layers and the next you're sweating up a storm.
This clothing swap is most challenging while I'm out running, and for me, the best solution I've found has been with the Buff Original EcoStretch. I love wearing this while out on morning runs, because it manages to keep me cozy while I warm up and also helps me keep cool once the temps warm up and I'm deep into my run. To put this neckwear to the true test, I decided to wear it while I ran the LA Marathon. From the early morning shuttle to the start, to the sunny finish, I found my EcoStretch to be the perfect compliment to the day. I started by wearing it as a face mask to stay warm at the starting line (and as a mask for extra COVID protection in the crowds!). Around the midway point of the race, I wore it at as a wristband to help combat the sweat, and at the post-race festival, I switched to wearing it as a hairband to keep the stray hair out of my face while enjoying my celebratory beer. :)
The EcoStretch's design allows you to wear it in over 12 different ways, from a headband or neck warmer to a face cover or hair wrap! The fabric is lightweight, soft, and moisture-wicking and super stretchy -- perfect for all types of activities, whether you're out for a morning run or up in the mountains skiing or hiking. Simply toss it in the washing machine and it's ready to go for your next adventure!
The EcoStretch comes in a huge variety of styles, and at a super affordable price, so why not pick up a few extras to mix and match with your favorite running outfit? Mine is a beautiful Holo Multi pattern and it reminds me of a cotton candy daydream! YUM!
Living in LA, it doesn't matter what the weather is, we've got plenty of sun! One of my favorite features of the EcoStretch is that it's got UPF 50 sun protection and is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation to protect against the sun's harmful rays, so you can stay cool, covered, and protected on the go!
Beyond the EcoStretch, I really love that Buff has partnered with UNICEF and has pledged to donate 2% of their annual global profits to help address the COVID-19 pandemic, so you can feel good about your purchase! Way to go, Buff!
There are so many reasons I love the Buff Original EcoStretch; I'm looking forward to rocking mine all year round! It passed the marathon test, so no matter if you're headed out on an early morning training run, or toeing the line for the next big race, you'll be covered in style with Buff's fashionable and functional Original EcoStretch!
