The Buffalo range of outdoor performance clothing and sleeping bags are designed for the professional and committed outdoor
activist. Suitable for a variety of outdoor pursuits, such as mountaineering, climbing, hill walking and cycling, all our
products are designed to perform in extreme weather conditions.
Buffalo products were originally designed as a one layer system of outdoor winter
clothing to replace the numerous layers usually worn by climbers, fell
runners and hill walkers in winter conditions. Due to the comfort and
simplicity of the system, it wasn't long before it was used in many other
outdoor activities. As a result of this cross over, Buffalo went on to
design performance outdoor clothing and sleeping bags for specific activities, developing the fabrics
further to accommodate other climatic conditions. The result is a range
of high quality, performance products designed to give maximum comfort
with minimum fuss.
Pertex/Pile System
Buffalo are the originators of the Pertex/Pile system. To understand how the system
works is to realise it's simplicity.
Pertex® is a densely woven fabric with high capillary action. When combined with
any of the five Buffalo developed pile linings, a garment is produced which is
windproof, warm, lightweight and resists rain. It is also highly breathable and
extremely efficient at transmitting moisture vapour.
The correct sizing and a knowledge of how the ventilation zips are used, ensures
the user gets the best from the garment. The simplicity determines there is little
to go wrong, no pores to clog up or laminates to wear off. Where possible, we have
avoided patches, needless pockets with unnecessary zips, or fancy trims all of
which detract from the performance.

All our products are rigorously tested through an entire season of
Scottish winter and often longer. All components, from zips to
thread are of the highest quality and are equally tested.
