Evening all has anyone used buffalo clothing and would you recommend it?

Particularly interested in the special 6 trousers and the pile parka with polo therm lining

Looking to replace my fortis sallopettes and sj9

I have a Buffalo sleeping bag, not ideal as a fishing bag, but good quality. I also have a couple of pile and pertex jumpers by another manufacturer, but very similar to the Buffalo shirts, wouldn't be without them for winters and cold mornings etc. Be careful around stoves though, I put a hole in one of mine off the car exhaust. The pertex does not like heat or naked flames.

I use the belay jacket and sallopettes... Very comfy don't feel hindered in them at all... The jacket is not a winter jacket to sit in all day motion less.. Pertfect for mooching about in, best spring autumn jacket I've ever used... I use it all winter but layer up with one base layer and a Sherpa fleece... Does me fine.. Not as warm as a snugpak for sitting about in though..
can't comment on the trousers.. Sallpettes are lovely though even next to the skin...

I've one of their shirts and a pair of the semi thermal windproof trousers. Quality, well made and it appears durable.

#2 I'm in the market for a pair after the snugpak ones became irresistible to a mouse in that cold snap. I'll have a look at those

Can anyone give me a review against what im currently using Snugpak fortis sallopettes and an sj9 - Nothing wrong with it but ive been offered the buffalo park with polatherm lining so the warmest one they do and the sallopettes at a great price so debating if its. worth the change


My understanding is that the buffalo is waterproof and warm !!

its the BAS parka with polartherm
buffalo special 6 trousers
buffalo sallopettes

Im guessing I could raise the money selling my Snugpak to pay for the change so is it worth it?


Thanks in advance

Correct. Definitely wear it next to your skin. I've got the shirt and salopettes and theybare great. Had them years and they still look like new. Very warm and comfy.

I have the Buffalo Parka and it is a superb jacket but not as warm as my Snugpak FJ6.

The buffalo jacket will be much better if used for what it's designed for - being on the move.

The fortis jacket will be much better at keeping you warm whilst sat on your arse

Just too feedback, items arrived yesterday and are very well made the special 6 trousers are fantastic but were too small so they are in classifieds if anyone is after a bargain at close to 50% off

The parka is very nice thick pile and a lot longer and more forgiving than my sj9 interms of bulk and I love the sallopettes very well made lots of adjustments with the zips and the crotch zip is genius

Thanks for the feedback folks

It's very cool that now almost any clothes can be ordered online. And you can find reviews about any clothing manufacturer on the Internet. This greatly improves the quality of the products produced by the companies. Since the competition is very high. The opportunity to order Muslim clothes online became a discovery for me. When my husband was sent on a business trip to the UAE, I decided to go with him. And I easily ordered country-appropriate clothes on Abaya UK before going to Dubai. It is very convenient and cool that there is such an opportunity.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
