The Pertex/Pile concept is ideal for hikers, Mountaineers and telemark skiers who want to stay warm in damp and wet conditions but who don't want to have to keep stopping and starting in order to put on or take off layers. In cold conditions, this one top does it all whilst you remain on the move.

The best single outdoor jacket.

I have three versions of this and one of the Montane shirts that are basically the same. If I had to have one outdoor jacket, it would be this. It works well in rain and when it's very cold. It's not waterproof, but I regularly wear it in pouring rain as you'll always sweat in a goretex if you're working hard up a mountain. It dries in no time at all and the venting options really do work well to manage your temperature.

Absolutely wonderful!

I recently spent weeks looking at different outdoor jackets, eventually i came across the Buffalo Special 6 Shirt. I believe this jacket is unbeatable, firstly the price of £120 is not that expensive for a multi-purpose jacket as other brands would be charging £200 - £300. The Pertex/Pile lining on the inside of the jacket will keep you warm in any temperature that this country can throw at you. The jacket can be warm on it's own, with no other layers underneath. If you start to feel too warm, zippered vents on the sides of the jacket will allow you to cool. The shirt also provides multiple straps and Velcro tabs which means that the fit of the shirt is snug and this makes it unbelievably cozy and secure in the harshest of conditions. On a mountain i would rather sleep in this rather than a standard sleeping bag! Made in Sheffield, i am proud to wear a British made jacket which is outstanding. This can not be beaten if you want to get away from wrapping up with layer after layer reducing your movement, this is the best. Thank you to Cotswold Outdoor for suggesting it. Lastly, people who do have the jacket have stated that it lasts year after year. Armed forces and the search and rescue can't be wrong!

Couldn't live without it

My buffalo shirt goes everywhere with me from winter mountain biking in Scotland to open canoeing on the Dart. It really should be the first piece of kit any self respecting outdoor enthusiast should buy. It keeps you warm when wet and great in a sleeping bag when the temperature drops. With the addition of a lightweight goretex top you're ready for anything. I'm now going to by a new one..

Astonishing performance

I wear the jacket when kayaking. In a racing kayak (flatwater not whitewater) you sweat a lot and wearing a "dry-suit" is not really an option. The special 6 wicks sweat very well and drys quickly when wet. Today (Christmas Eve) I ended up in the canal (about 5 degrees C). Once I was over the shock and out of the water the special 6 simply drained out and after a few minutes of hard paddling I was toasty warm again. The jacket/shirt was dry enough when I finished to drive home in. When you meet others wearing buffalo you know they are the real deal- not outdoor fashion followers. OK, is not fashionable, it just works.

Best bit of kit I own

I have used/been around the Buffalo Special 6 Shirt since starting out in the RAF. This bit of kit is great, comfortable and warm. I would highly recommend it to any hiker, climber, camper.
