I think the different plates are because they are all from different states, aka: touring.

The buffs designed for fishermen are lightweight and have a cooling effect I am told. I've never worn one. I do use a bandana when I'm out west so I don't eat so much sand and grit.

When it's 110 in the shade, I want every square inch of skin covered.......it's counterintuitive, but it is cooler that way.....

They are a similar material to underarmour hot weather gear, and yes, they do have a cooling effect, as well as keeping the sun off of you....
