Good presentation Steve, and it sounds a great shirt.

Now THAT is a review. Comparison, facts, practical suggestions, details - in fact the full what, when, where and how.

I wish Buffalo would make a shirt where the pit zips go over the armpits like the Alpkit Jura.

[@mattwright2964]

Yeah and the Jura looks good and is cheaper. It's basically a more thought out Buffalo. I hate to say this though. I want a made in Yorkshire company to be the best. See my main post.

I always found the mountain shirt neck tight and uncomfortable esp. the nasty Velcro strip, and zips rough on the skin and the open poly pile irritating. It should have fitted hood like every other smock. I boiled in it unless it was unzipped up the side and then it was drafty and uncomfortable. I found it hard to like and binned it.

1, the chest pocket absorbs water. 2, it's not fitted around the arms. 3, the neck zip lets in cold air. 4, the zips get jammed in the material. The zips should be big and chunky, so you can open the pockets with mittens on. Lots of room for improvements.

1. The material, which is Pertex eco fabric, is not waterproof. The seam lines are not taped closed to promote better breatability. 2. That depends how big your arms are. The arm cut is consistent with all the other buffalo range. 3. The baffle behind the zip is designed to prevent high speed winds penetrating. it’s possible that you are experiencing airflow coming down through the top of your neck. you cannot have it too tight which would constrict your neck movement and ability to breathe. 4. The zips used are consistent with all the other products. Yes you could use bigger zips however that would make the item heavier. Regarding your comment with the mittens, we have never experienced this before or had any other feedback regarding this. On a final note, thank you for your comments. I’m sure buffalo will read them and comment in due course. The design and culture of buffalo products is about promoting excellent levels of breathability whilst providing great overall protection across a wide range of conditions which we experience domestically and internationally.

I’ve actually gone with wool for a change. With a Micklagard Abisko anorak. Early days yet but already I can state no problem with zips getting caught up. More breathable so usable over a greater temperature range. And so much more durable. A lot more expensive though. I do like and own several buffalo tops but I find them a little delicate for my use. And a little too hot. My favourite is the mountain shirt lite

A fantastic video Steve - Thanks for making it, very informative!!!

I want to like Buffalo as a company for lots of reasons. The concept of the shirts (I have a Special six and a Wind shirt) are good, they work well. The problem is there is just something clunky about their products. The design/cut of them is crude, the colours are limited and the range as a whole a bit illogical. Yes the pile lined shirt keeps you very warm (I get that it will save you on a hill side) but it feels a bit like hauling an agricultural bag over you and they are expensive. The windshirt is a really weird cut/shape and actually not as wind resistant as the similar Paramo product. Yes I rate Buffalo but why the hell they don't just refine their product designs a bit and come upto date I don't know! People want practical performance but also to look cool when the end of the hike goes in the pub and for an expensive product they will want to use them in different scenarios. I'm not suggesting they get too fashion orientated or anything, just get some advice on design and refine them a bit. They could be a massively successful British manufacturer if they did but I fear they are going to bumble along at best.

Hi Matt, Buffalo are going from strength to strength and this explorer shirt is a good example of that. Their philosophy has always been about functionality and designing for extreme weather conditions here in the UK. Of course, it is not for everyone.
