Perfect bit of kit. The lighter version of the Buffalo shirt, and it is light. Ideal to put over other layers for walk to the pub or further afield.Keeps wind and rain out. Mine was a good fit after following Buffalo fitting guide. I like that it’s not too technical with pockets and cuffs. Good hand warming pocket and map pocket.

1st time having purchased a Buffalo piece of kit and it hasn't let me down. Great fit, quality, styling and functionality for the outdoors no matter what weather it held up really well. Will definitely be purchasing a super 6 for winter pursuits.

These are great activity tops. Perspiration can quickly dry out and you never experience a cold wet feeling like with cotton. Pockets are superb hand warmers. More windproof than you expect when you crest the hill climb and become exposed. A Velcro neck band to take the warmer DP hood is useful to add if you are good with a sewing machine! Makes going static so much easier as you don't need to get out extra clothing. Handy for driven rain and keeps you moving quickly. I alter all mine like this. I have 6 of these in various colours. Some for deerstalking and some for hill walking. They stop the overheating you can experience with the DP shirts.

Smashing bit of kit, keeps you warm when static or doing low level activity, ventilation and moisture wicking keeps you stops you from getting too hot when on the move. Decently water resistant in case you get caught in a shower.

I ordered this to replace one that I had damaged. I mainly use this jacket for when I take my dog for a walk and when I'm out with the camera as I do a bit of landscape and aviation photography in the mountains of Snowdonia. The pockets are the main reason I like the jacket as there is plenty of easy accessible storage for phones,lens caps,filters etc I also have the Special 6 for when conditions get colder. Both are great jackets. The price and delivery from Woodlore is great. I will use again.

I've been using special six and mountain shirts for years, but wanted something lighter. Feels very different to the thicker shirts, very comfortable and lightweight. I've worn it to do the tour du Mont Blanc and it's all you need! Brilliant service as always from woodlore.

Excellent kit. I've used buffalo before . Perfect for my needs of forging in the Scottish Highlands.

The service from Woodlore was perfect and the active lite shirt is the best bit of kit I have ever bought. I quite literally have not taken it off and it is made in UK. I followed the sizing instructions. Do not go too baggy in my honest opinion. What I have bought to go with it is a merino sleeveless T shirt and that is working really well. The vents make it super flexible and adaptable.

Haven't had it for long but so far I love this jacket. It's warm with just a t shirt underneath. It's light but wind proof and seems fairly waterproof although I haven't experienced any heavy rain yet. Great to see its made in the UK. Very pleased.

Have a Mountain jacket which is now 30 years old and a Super 6. Both are quality items for cold nights, anything about 6 or 7 degrees and they are a bit warm unless sitting in camp. The Active Lite shirt is a lot lighter and is a generous fit. It feels great on and is good for spring and autumn, still too warm for summer but I run hot when carrying a load. I never wear anything under the shirts or jacket and have always had them next to my skin, they work best that way and you are actually warmer that way from experience, especially when wet. Why four stars, well the price is high but that's relative to the quality and so that's not the issue. I find the new pertex a little shiny a bit like a Dr Who extra, and it's not as water resistant (I don't mind being wet in a sSuper 6) but the most annoying is it has no neck baffle. This is a bit gapey on the neck line for me and water runs down the gap... Buffalo are brilliant so minor point.

This is an addition to my other Buffalo clothing, I find it always performs well. I have bought this for the milder weather knowing it won't let me down.

This is the best shirt I have ever had in my life to keep me warm. Seriously not over judging the product but it really kept me warm in very cold weather. Moreover, if the weather is partially cold it is possible to open the sides to let some cold air inside. I give it 9/10.

Works very well, would recommend. I have only used this a few times now, but it seems to work in an impressive range of temperatures. Excellent for mountain biking on days that start below freezing and warm up. Also great for casual pace xc ski touring below freezing.

I would rate it five stars if there was some sort of highly breathable fabric that offered some skin protection at below freezing temps under the side and neck zips. With a base layer and shell system, you have some protection against direct contact between skin and cold air when the pit and neck zips are open. Since the Buffalo System shirts are designed to be next to skin, you lose that.

This item came exactly on time - well done. The first time I tried this out on a 13 mile walk along the Dorset coast in January it poured with rain. Yes obviously I was damp inside but no way was I cold. In fact I needed both side zips undone for a while after going up some hills as I was getting a bit warm. As long as you keep moving you keep warm. I also have a windshirt and a special 6 shirt so if things get really bad I can layer up. Brilliant.

Wonderful jacket for active use (running, hiking) 10-30 degrees F and static use up to 50 degrees F. If it gets too warm, simple use of the pit vents allows heat to escape. I found the pertex outer material to be light, soft, and comfortable - not crinkly or heavy like many other softshell or windproof/water resistant jackets. The light fleece wicking interior is very comfortable as well. Fit is true to size. Only issue is that taking it on/off can take a bit of effort, but that would be true for any pullover.
Ordered from the US on a Tuesday and received it in the post by Saturday. Excellent customer service and am looking forward to ordering more items from Raymears.com.

Great bit of kit, the quality of materials and construction is first rate. The top is light and comfortable next to the skin. I use it for mild/cold weather cycling and walking and have found it to be ideal. It feels good to be able to buy something that is not only British but is made in my home town too. Top marks.

Bought this as a summer/spring/fall alternative to my super six. It's great for temperatures down to plus 3 here in Norway with nothing underneath. BUT you need to be on the move. Haven't tested it in rain yet, but the shirt is well made. The outer fabric seems robust, but only further use will tell. High quality windproof with some insulation, can't wait to use it as my only layer on the move with the super six as a belay jacket.

Great bit of kit. Highly recommend. Excellent service.
