This latest trip to the Bahamas we experienced a lot of wind, moderate temps and a fair amount of clouds. I always keep a Buff or two in the pack every day, this particular trip I carried an "Insect Shield" Buff and a conventional UV. During this two week venture, I did not have to wear a Buff for sun protection very often. That said, in the afternoon - when the winds sat down, the bugs were bad. Mosquitos, no-see-ums and a few unidentified species. My "Insect Shield" Buff really shined during the long treks back to base slogging through the mangroves. Everyone else in my group was dined on by the blood suckers - I was spared. Typically, the biting insects down there go for the face, so the Buff is ideal protection. Best, A
