I'm glad I am not the only thickie. I haven't got a clue what one is. Something to "buff" up the paint on cars perhaps. lol

did not mean to appear thick
Of course not Susie, I didn't mean to imply that you were, just me. A buff is something I have never come across before. Mind you, I am only 70 so there is time yet.

Check the other post about Buffs also.
Here is link which you may need to copy paste into your brownser:
It's tubular, made of fabric, you pull it down to wear around neck like a scarf but it's long enough to pull up to cover your head too. If you wish you can pull it up over your mouth too to keep the cold out. Lots of other ways you can wear it apparently (the mind boggles)! I shall soon own I fine red woollen one
I bought one last Christmas time and wore it throughout the winter.I pull it over my mouth outdoors in cold, windy conditions, stops the cold air from getting to my lungs.
It doesn't sound right, going out in the buff! Especially this weather!,
Something you are born in ?
I've just bought one. Certainly helps to keep the harshness of cold air out when I breathe.Must say with it pulled up over my nose and wearing my woolie hat I look a bit scary when out walking
I have colourful Buffs so I look like an aged hippy 
that raised a giggle as usual it is one of those English words that mean many things depending on how you use the word. Polishing came to my mind along with stark naked. But I do believe its what Peeg said a sort of large neck scarf these days
I think we will be ok as long as we don't carry shot guns, wear big tent skirts or tunics that bulge in the shape of a square box or bucket with elongated protrusions or have knives tucked in our waist band ....
Hoping a nice colourful buff will ignite warm endearing thoughts for folks 
you may only carry a party popper, one of those clown noses, party balloons and glow sticks....... aaaand your rose tints and your Buff
Hmmm -- good question. My dad was a "Buff": a member of the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes. Can't say that I've heard of them in many years.

A snood then?
Wow, that's a whole world of snood
no Stitch I did not but I did google it when I got your reply - I see now that what I used to call a cowl some firms are now certainly calling a snood - however, I stand by my knowledge of how I used to use the word and that was as I described (although not a very good description) - my rather old dictionary also says (one of a few meanings although none like a cowl or buff or whatever) 'a band or ribbon formerly worn by maidens to hold back the hair' (admittedly they do not mention the net attachment) so can only say yes you are correct in these modern times a snood appears to mean what I'd formerly call a cowl, - and cowls were in fashion in my youth so do hope some others remember them and for me they can call them buffs snoods whatever they are still cowls to me - and a snood, is a snood is a snood - hate it when they change the meaning of words - guess I am just 'getting' old ha, ha,
I used to ride as well that is where I first heard of a snood (by my meaning) but guess as with other things different parts of the country call things by different names (as you though my memory not so great) and yes guess every generation thinks that whatever is in fashion it's never been seen before - although we oldies know that's not true - it will god forbid be hot pants or some such thing back in fashion next although god knows what they'll call them. Thanks re Buff explains if trademark what awful name in my opinion. xx
forgot to say cowl according to my old trusty dictionary means (with again other meanings) 'a monk's hooded cloak or the hood itself' so can only presume when (the thing they now call a snood or the buff) was named cowl in my day as it could also be used as a hood - only guessing here but makes sense to me.
