Buffalo Clothing

Be Ready for the Mountain Weather With Buffalo Systems

Buffalo Systems clothing is built for people who spend real time in the hills — the kind of days where the wind slices across the ridges, the rain comes in sideways, and staying warm matters more than anything else. Made in Sheffield since 1979, Buffalo pioneered the Pertex + Pile system, a unique combination of a windproof, fast-drying Pertex outer and a warm, moisture-managing pile inner.

This system isn’t “waterproof” in the membrane sense — instead, it’s designed to keep you warm, comfortable and safe even when damp, allowing moisture and sweat to move away from your body quickly. The result? A layer that performs exceptionally well in true UK mountain conditions, especially when you're working hard in the cold, wet weather typical of Eryri.

For walkers, climbers, winter runners, mountain leaders and outdoor workers, Buffalo offers reliable warmth, breathability, wind protection and rapid drying — without the faff of multiple layers. When the weather turns wild and you need kit you can trust, Buffalo delivers.

How Buffalo’s Pertex + Pile System Works

Buffalo Systems has been making specialist outdoor clothing in Sheffield since 1979. Their kit is built for the cold, wet and windy conditions we know well here in Eryri. Instead of a waterproof membrane, Buffalo uses the proven Pertex + Pile system: a windproof, fast-drying Pertex outer paired with a warm pile inner that continues to insulate even when damp.

This approach keeps you comfortable when the weather turns grim — ideal for long winter days, ridge scrambles and stop-start activities where getting cold quickly can become a real issue. It’s a favourite among mountain instructors, rescue teams and outdoor workers because it performs reliably year after year.

Why Buffalo Clothing Excels in UK Mountain Conditions

Every garment is made in Sheffield with durability in mind, and most pieces can be repaired easily — from zip replacements to panel repairs — helping reduce waste and extend their working life. For best performance, wash your Buffalo with Nikwax Tech Wash and refresh the water-repellent finish with TX-Direct Spray-On. With proper care, a Buffalo Shirt can last a decade or more.

For British mountain weather — quick showers, long periods of dampness, bitter winds and constant movement — Buffalo delivers reliable warmth, fast drying, solid wind protection and no-fuss performance when it matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions about Buffalo

Is Buffalo clothing waterproof? +

No — Buffalo garments are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. The Pertex outer sheds showers well, but in prolonged rain the fabric will eventually wet through. The key benefit is that the pile inner keeps you warm even when damp, and the whole system dries quickly through body heat.

What makes Buffalo different from other outdoor brands? +

Buffalo uses a unique Pertex + Pile system. Instead of trapping moisture like some membranes can during high output, it moves sweat and dampness away from the body quickly, keeping you warm and comfortable in cold, wet and windy conditions.

Who is Buffalo best suited for? +

Buffalo excels for anyone active in British mountain weather — winter walkers, climbers, mountain leaders, rescue teams, outdoor workers and anyone who spends long hours on exposed terrain in changeable conditions.

Does Buffalo replace a layering system? +

Often yes. Many people use a single Buffalo Shirt instead of a base layer + mid-layer combination. In cold or harsh conditions, you can add a lightweight shell on top if needed.

Is Buffalo still made in the UK? +

Yes. Every Buffalo Systems garment is designed and manufactured in Sheffield, which ensures consistent quality and long-term repairability.

How durable is Buffalo gear? +

Very durable. Many users get 10–20 years from a single Buffalo Shirt. Panels and zips can be repaired or replaced, helping extend the product’s life significantly.

How do I wash and care for my Buffalo? +

Wash with a technical cleaner like Nikwax Tech Wash, avoid fabric softeners, and refresh the outer with TX-Direct Spray-On. Air dry only. Proper care helps maintain performance and longevity.

Is Buffalo suitable for summer? +

Generally not. Buffalo is warm — perfect for cold, windy, or wet conditions, but often too warm for summer use unless you’re in very exposed or alpine-like environments. Choose the Buffalo Wind Shirt for the Summer months
