Gear: C&R UV Buff to Benefit TU


**Editor's note - For the first time in three years we won't be attending Fly Fishing Retailer. We will certainly miss the New Belgium ale, seeing new gear first hand, and most of all reconnecting with good friends. If any readers are planning on attending and want to guest blog for us during the event, drop us a note at (editor at Flyfishmagazine.com replace the at with an @). In the mean time we will be attempting to keep you informed using our vast network of industry contacts whom we have promised to buy a round the next time we see them in person.

Buff, Inc. Launches New Catch and Release UV Buff and Promotion at Fly Fish Retailer 2009 to Benefit Trout Unlimited

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (September 10, 2009) – Buff, Inc., known for their innovative, versatile and multifunctional headwear loved by anglers worldwide, will be launching the new Catch and Release High UV Protection Buff as an exciting new addition to Buff’s Angler Series at Fly Fishing Retailer 2009.
In Addition, Buff will be running a promotion on the show floor of Fly Fishing Retailer 2009, where the new Catch and Release UV Buff will be sold for $10 to benefit the national coldwater conservation organization,
Trout Unlimited (TU). 100-percent of proceeds garnered at Fly Fishing Retailer 2009 will be donated to directly assist with Trout Unlimited’s conservation efforts.

“Buff is honored to play a role in Trout Unlimited’s restoration and conservation projects and hopes to continue to help moving forward with the success of Buff’s products that resonate so well within the angling community,” says Shirley Choi Brunetti, vice president and general manager of Buff, Inc.

“The functionality and versatility of the High Protection UV Buff has proved to be an essential fishing accessory for anglers worldwide to the point where they’ll turn the boat around if they forget their Buff before a day out fishing. We’re very excited about the design and message of the Catch and Release UV Buff” continues Choi Brunetti.

Trout Unlimited is the nation’s largest coldwater conservation organization, with 140,000 members dedicated to conserving, protecting, and restoring North America’s trout and salmon fisheries and their watersheds.

“Support from our corporate partners is invaluable to the success of TU’s on-the ground conservation projects,” said Liz Ogilvie, TU’s corporate marketing manager. “Buff, Inc.’s commitment to TU’s mission helps us accomplish our restoration goals around the country.”

The UV Buff is designed to offer technical performance and to block 95-percent of harmful UV rays. It can be worn over 12 different ways to accommodate varying weather conditions and offer a custom fit. Additionally, the UV Buffâ is made from CoolMaxâ microfiber fabric to provide superior moisture wicking and dry comfort properties, as well as to reduce skin temperature and maintain hydration.
