Merino sounds once warmly, it is in this case not. By overhead pulling the snood is widened, so that it can no longer fit tightly at the neck ... and I have a rather thick neck. In principle, the buff is so just as a fashion accessory. In the functions as a cap, pirate, etc. the material is too thin to really warm. Maybe just my claims to the heat quality are too high. But as I said, the material expands and then is no longer present on the neck. As you might as well buy from discounters. Weil looks nicer than a scarf, there are two stars.
