Mountain Rescue
We had the privilege of spending time with the Edale and Glossop Mountain Rescue teams at Curbar Edge to talk about all things Buffalo.
No fuss. No fanfare. Just straight-up feedback from people who wear it when there’s no room for failure.
They told us what matters in the worst conditions and we listened.
Buffalo has always been shaped by the people who rely on it when it’s cold, wet and serious. That won’t change.
To all the Mountain Rescue teams across the UK, we say thank you.
Everest. Western Cwm. 6,700m
Climbing the Khumbu Icefall.
Crossing crevasses.
Hauling instruments through deep snow and shifting weather.
This is Losing Their Cool, a high-altitude research expedition led by scientists from five UK universities.
Their goal: to better understand temperature conditions in the Western Cwm, one of the most extreme and fascinating environments on Earth.
The team installed weather stations, thermistor strings, and ice-core sensors at 6,700 metres, just below the Lhotse Face. Working in –10°C mornings and wind-blasted afternoons, every decision counted.
Buffalo kit went with them. Explorer Shirts and HA Salopettes were chosen for their simplicity, durability, and ability to adapt when conditions changed fast.
“The perfect balance of warmth and venting, whether we were climbing or stood still.”
We’re proud to support the team and the vital research they’re carrying out in the high Himalaya
