graham78:

the buffalo can come in many forms, jackets shirts etc, montana are equally good. snugpak do a cheaper version. as for getting them go to any military surplus shop and you cant go far wrong - silvermans, stringtown supplies, sass

Ive met Hamish who owns(maybe still does but used to) Buffalo. One of my mates brothers worked for him in Sheff and testing trips were fairly frequent. The jackets are great and i would recommend them. You should easily find someone in Scotland with them in stock. Spike used to stock em at Nevis sport but its a while since ive been up there.
As for the sleeping bags...give em a wide birth! They weigh a piggin tonne and are not warm enough for severe temperatures.
Also have a look at some of the mTB clothing ranges as i have a similar thing but better fitting with more pocket(and reflective bits so you dont get flattened!)s...all you are really looking for is a pertex pile combination.
As for sleeping bags if you can afford down and dont sleep in rivers then buy down!
Devon-Rover:
well here's my take.
One reversible Paramo base layer. Wicking boxers and Craghopper zip off trews.
Then i have a ME windstopper fleece. for windy conditions.
and a ME cirrus duvet Jkt for when it's cold.
and a Paramo Alta 2 jacket and cascada trousers for when it's wet. ( the cascada's are also for cold stuff as well.)
and i use a ME sleepwaker 3 sleeping bag. which is toasty warm. (and that is because i was a poor student and couldn't afford down.)
Outrageously expensive but very functional. :)
Drift:
I have had my buffalo smock for about 7 years and its as good as nearly new :oops: .
Its been to the top Matterhorn, around the Alps, Wales, Scotland,and never failed, often I dont wear a top underneath and its warm Even when wet.
I wear it all the time now greenlaning (getting to old for climbing the mountains) as its comfy warm and not the slightest bit bulky.
Be warned you have to buy the hood separate though.
All in all a great bit of kit :D
Oh and Agungilac (spelling :oops: ) sleeping bags do it for me :wink:
