Buffalo Active Lite Shirt
The Buffalo Active Lite Shirt takes the classic design of a Mountain Shirt and simply lightens the fabrics. It has a ripstop outer shell and they have replaced the AquaTherm Pile insulation with Fast Wicking TecLite Micro Pile lining which is more like a fleece material.
Buffalo clothing is often been imitated but never equalled. I have one of the Active shirts and it is a top performer. It is perfect when the weather is warmer and still gives you fantastic protection that Buffalo has become so famous for. This garment also makes a fantastic mid layer when combined with a jacket.
I had a Special 6 Shirt for many years ago but eventually it got damaged beyond repair (my fault, not the product!) and had to be binned. I remember wearing it for 99% of the time doing Mountain Leader Training in some really poor conditions and it became a must have piece of kit for me when ever taking a group out or facing bad weather.
To give an example I remember doing a days worth of river crossing training simply to teach us - never to cross rivers! It was lashing it down with rain and we were in and out of the river for quite some time. I wore it all day long with only a t-shirt and, although I was wet, I was still perfectly warm - That is what Buffalo clothing is so good for!
It is Buffalo's milder weather alternative to the Mountain Shirt, when less insulation but maximum wicking is required. PForm shell fabric with its technical unique weave gives a highly breathable and windproof performance making this garment ideal for low level hill walking and trekking, climbing, mountain biking, running and general outdoor activities.
