I’m only looking at one for walking in
the arktis is just too warm for that
I don’t even need a jumper on in the depths of winter lol

Every size 161£ is out of stock
In stock size is 196 lol
Problem I have is I’m not actually sure of their sizing
I have an arktis a220 mamouth smock that’s great and warm
but it’s heavy and a little tight across the shoulders in a medium

That’s mugging people off
My local stockist is usually 147 for the special 6

Hardest part is finding any available anywhere
I’ve been told by my local supplier they are not expecting any until back end January or feb at the earliest

8 months down line from my original post and have to say the buffalo kit has been brilliant, the parka is brilliant and the warmth to weight ratio is brilliant and I prefer it to my sj9 that I had before as it fits better I’m 6”3 and 18 stone I like the length on the arms as the Snugpak was a little short on my monkey arms and the length is ideal

The sallopettes are brilliant g much warmer than my fortis version and o litterally awdar a pair of shorts underneath them and I’ve not been cold once this winter in them

I’d highly recommend them and will be looking to get a pile shirt at some point down the line

I was in Liverpool on Monday and found a brilliant outdoor clothing shop.They had buffalo in there,the thing most people do is try stuff on in stores then buy it for alot cheaper online

Thats very much dependant on if the sizing is actually accurate, and what measurements they give. some will only give a waist for a jumper for example.

It's nice to go into a proper local tackleshop, find something that fits and put money in the hands of the independent traders. its just such a shame a lot of them can't seem to get in the outdoor brands like ridgeline, fjalraven, buffalo etc.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.
