Technology
Buffalo Systems use a variety of technologies to help achieve the best possible performance in every conceivable weather condition.

History
Born in 1979 when Hamish Hamilton grew frustrated with the poor levels of performance and the severe lack of longevity in outdoor clothing and sleeping bags. Hamish looked to the indigenous people who stayed dry and comfortable in the Arctic Circle using animal hides. Mills in Lancashire provided the final piece of the puzzle for Hamis when they created Pertex, ever since they’ve stood happily between you and the wilderness.
