Where can I get a Buff in Clearwater.

I'm about to leave for the Galapagos Islands and decided I need a Buff to protect my face because of a skin condition irritated by the sun. Does anyone know where I can get one in the Clearwater area?

Lucky you!

The Galapagos, not the skin condition

Bob, it's not Clearwater but Bill Jacksons carries them. Have a great trip.

You're gonna turn ole Chucky Darwin on his head wearing that thing.

Dunedin bait & tackle or Tampa Angler.

Hey Bob,

I bought a couple at Dick's. Don't know if you have one of those over in your area.

They have already given you all of the legitimate responses, so I'll just tell you that if you go "buff" in Clearwater...they will arrest you!

Thanks guys. I'm heading out Wednesday, so I don't have time to order online. The trip is 15 days, with 4 days in Quito, 9,000 foot elevation, 3 days in the Amazon basin rainforest, and 7 days on a 16 passenger small ship in the Galapagos. The ship even has some kayaks, but they don't allow fishing around the islands. I'll post some pics when I get back.

4 days in quito will give you just enough time to get accustomed to the altitude. That being said when I was there a couple of times there were several times I would wake in the middle of the night gasping for air with my heart and head pounding. Make sure you go to the "center of the Earth" and catch a bullfight. (the casinos are tight) Careful of the ice in the drinks if you are in Guayaqil. Have a great time!

Found a Buff at Osprey Bay Outdoors, so I'm set. I've already started taking altitude medication. I've been at that altitude, but never stayed as long. Hopefully I won't need an oxygen bottle. I wonder if they have hookah (oxygen) bars.

Drink as much water as you can between now and the time you go. We hit the "high" country when we go snow skiing. That's what we've always been told to do. Good Luck!!! Have FUN!!!!!!
