I bought this because I live in Wellington NZ, which seriously feels like the windiest place on Earth, day-to-day! It also rains a heck of a lot here too. It's summer right now but you wouldn't know it, some days!
First impressions are that this thing is going to be WARM. Thank goodness for the vents. I love the strap inside the kangaroo pocket to tighten things up when it does get breezy in winter. Chest pocket is at a great level, you don't have to fish around for things, they're just where you need them. The female cut is great, no pressure on the hips and great lower torso coverage. Zips and pockets all work smoothly, and I'm impressed with the build quality. Feels like a classic piece of kit built to be bombproof.
Size-wise - I think I straddle the line between the 34 and 36 (I'm 5'2 and a size 10/12 and it fit great), so would have been curious to try a 34, but honestly it feels great on. I'm probably going to sell a lot of my other tops now, this is the favourite.
So far my experience has been dog walking in the evenings when a cold easterly blows through, and I love it when working from home - keeps me toasty at the computer!
My whole experience buying through Jackson Sports has been fantastic and I've come back again to get the mitts and hood to match my Mountain Shirt. The communication has been wonderful, a very clever and intuitive shopping interface for someone shopping from abroad, and the shipping was under a week from ordering to arriving with me.
I've not tested it in a downpour yet, but I see plenty of people have here in the reviews for the male and female cuts of these garments, if you're looking for their take.
Brilliant service, received my buffalo to replace my old one, everyone should have one, wear mine all the time, live in Cumbria, lots of wind and rain, even though the buffalo isn’t waterproof it doesn’t really let water through and as soon as it stops raining the buffalo soon dries out. Use it for dog walking, shooting, shopping, everything. Wash it at night and it’s dry for the next day. Always get the hood when ordering the shirt, it’s well worth it. 👍
This new ladies buffalo mountain shirt is my new favourite for wet and windy Dartmoor. It takes a little courage to wear nothing underneath but is definitely worth doing, because it really is cosy. Mine fits snugly but if it was a little baggy, you can always tighten the straps inside the hand warmer pocket to stop the wind blowing up inside. Mine is perfect; it fits snugly around the hips and then is a little baggier on the top half which allows plenty of arm movement (like putting your rucksack on or stretching here and there to put up your tent). I am actually a 40" chest but eventually got the 38" after trying on different sizes. The 40" would have been ok if I intended to wear something underneath, but I don't, so have gone for the snug fit. I haven't tested it in really awful weather yet but then , I don't really intend to be out in a real hoolie anyway. It's not as noisy as many wet weather tops, which I like, and I love the map pocket which is so easy to get at when checking your route. Jackson Sports have been extremely helpful; it feels like they are a local company because delivery is so quick and plenty of information as to the progress of the parcel. So I highly recommend the shirt and the company. Well done one and all.
