Buff Announced as Collegiate Bass Fishing Sponsor
BUFF® multifunctional UV headwear is a favorite of anglers who spend long periods of time in the sun. It blocks 95% of harmful UV rays* and can be worn more than 12 different ways, from a neck gaiter to a cap to a balaclava.
“Anglers were among the first to embrace UV BUFF® headwear because they recognized the importance of on-the-water sun protection,” said Shirley Brunetti, Vice President and General Manager of Buff, Inc. “With this partnership, we’re supporting the next generation of college anglers who appreciate BUFF® headwear for both functionality and increasingly important UV protection.”
“I never used to give sun and wind protection a thought when I was younger, but after experiencing some long days on the water, I know now how important it is to protect yourself from the elements. It’s very exciting that BUFF® headwear will be working with college anglers now to help protect and educate anglers of all ages about benefits of wearing UV protection,” said Wade Middleton, Director of the Association of Collegiate Anglers and President of CarecoTV. “We are thrilled to be working with Buff, Inc. this season and believe that our anglers will be better off from the partnership as well!”
