UK to Canada. Amazing customer response and delivery time. This is my go to store for all things, rugged and of quality.

It's the first hood for any of my Buffalo jackets and it make's my Mountain Jacket more weather proof but is a less warm option to wear than my Parka. It'll also match my Special 6 so making that another all weather/gales option rather than loosing a Tilley hat!
Price was decent and delivery super fast. Took me a few attempts to line up the Velcro and have to admit I had to ditch the face mask section straight from the off, felt like someone had their hand over my mouth and nose and felt really claustrophobic! The hood itself in wearing was great in the gales and horizontal rain it was watertight and totally windproof just don't wear wool based gloves when your doing up/undoing the Velcro cinch tab. It's a shame in a way with the premium price of Buffalo kit they don't actually throw a hood in as an optional extra and just load the purchase price by £20.
The hood could be made perfect with a wire brim for gales but my glasses remained rain free so it did work as it is.
If you've got a Buffalo Shirt or jacket treat yourselves to a hood and increase that smugness you feel in the elements when others with other kit are not so comfortable!

All of these garments by Buffalo Systems are really very good. I've used them for years. As far as goes my experience and opinion of these hoods, they are an essential add on to the Belay Jackets, Mountain Shirts or Special Six shirts in the Buffao pile pertex combination garment range. The hood makes a real difference in the wind outdoors in the cold. Especially for when you're static, not moving around. The hood like the tops and trousers deal easily with light to moderate rain and dry out quickly from your body heat. Excellent products.

Good bit of kit, bit more basic and flimsier than my old mountain smock hood. No draw string or elastic to adjust the face either, but it will do the job.

Great product, excellent quality.

I've not used the Buffalo hood yet but having tried it on it seems very warm. I was advised to purchase one along with the Buffalo Special 6 and I don't think it will not disappoint.

This is a great hood. Thanks.

The standard DP hood is an excellent addition to your active shirt or special 6 shirt for all but the worst weather. It makes sense to go for the same colour as your shirt and the DP hood covers all colours. However it does not have a wired peak nor does it have a hood reduction device on the back and the face cover flap is not permanently attached and is held in place by Velcro. The flap is probably best removed and kept in the top chest zipped pocket of the shirt for when you do not need it rather than have it flapping and at risk of losing it when you have the hood down. Buffalo do offer an Expedition hood which is wired, does have a reduction strap and has a face flap permanently fixed. This hood is able to go over a climbing helmet and one size does all by using the reduction strap. It is only available in green or black but is a better option for high wind gnarly conditions. Hence the DP hood gets 4 stars and the Expedition hood would get 5. Woodlore ought to consider offering the Expedition hood in green to go with the special 6 shirt and trousers. I use this hood with mine but still am very happy with the DP hood on my Active and Mountain shirts.

The hood has been great in the recent cold snap. It's easy to store when not in use but always good to know I have it with me if needed.

Fantastic addition to my mountain shirt, great protection from the elements and a must have item!

Perfect compliment for the 'Mountain Shirt'

A great addition to any Buffalo shirt. Even fits on my ancient Buffalo Windshirt, as well as my more modern Mountain shirt. It's very warm and, gives good, all round protection. I can't see me ever using the detachable face protector but, it's nice to have options! Unlike the hoods on my down jackets, I don't mnd getting this wet, because like all Buffalo's, it dries very quickly and, stays warm while it's doing it. Thoroughly recomended to anyone who ventures out into cold, potentially wet conditions. Woodlore's price was also very good as well, coupled with the usual fast delivery.

Great hood. The black lining contrasts nicely with my green jacket lining and the hood sits nicely on the back of the jacket when not in use. My medium hood fits my size 40 jacket well and happily accommodates my large head. 5/5 for style and for fit.
The separate face covering is a confusing addition though: it is far too small to wear and, even if I could stretch is across the front of the hood whilst I am wearing it, the face covering remains an odd shape - I've no idea what to do with it... but it's not an integral part of the hood. Maybe I'll save it in case my jacket sleeve ever needs an elbow patch.

Warm and waterproof, it is a superb addition to the Buffalo Active Shirt.

Fastens onto the jacket well. Warm to wear and plenty of face cover, even a chin cover for the especially cold windy hikes!

Excellent piece of kit, very warm and great service!

Buffalo kit has been a bit of a revelation to me after a couple of decades of sweaty membrane waterproofs and damp Paramo kit. Worn as it should be, snug fit and next to the skin, it's so effective in cold, damp conditions it's hard to understand why it's not more popular. I have added this hood to replace a mismatched older one I was using. Warm and finishes off the mountain shirt, but in high winds the visor is soft and can fold down to cover eyes when head down into the wind / snow. Buffalo could improve this by offering a flexi 'wired' version to keep the peak solid enough to stay in shape under harsh conditions but bendy enough to be easily packable.

I bought this for my Buffalo Super 6 Jacket. Securely fits on and is warm as hell- very useful during the recent cold weather. The removable mouth patch is good in the coldest weather. Highly recommend.

Excellent piece of kit, better if it came with the shirt.

I bought this to fit onto my Active Shirt over the Winter. It arrived just in time, (within 36 hours of ordering), for the recent cold/snowy spell. As with my other Buffalo clothing, as mentioned shirt and mitts, it is faultless. Warm and a good fit, it is far superior than my Thinsulate bob hat. Like all Bufallo stuff it's not actually waterproof but that doesn't seem to matter. Another great buy, another great service from Woodlore, bring on Winter proper and let's get out there!

Received my Buffalo shirt incredibly fast delivered to the USA for a fishing trip to Canada. I wore a base layer underneath which I preferred, but it was wool. It is incredibly comfortable, warm and wind resistant as advertised. I went through a 1 1/2 hour long unprotected boat ride in high winds and didn't notice any windchill at all. My buddies were envious especially since none of them was familiar with it. I bought the hood last minute and it arrive even faster and in time for the trip but other than trying it on I never used it on my trip. We didn't encounter any rain so I can't comment on waterproof ability but a brief drizzle seemed to bead up and go away.

After wearing it for 6 days the only change I may make would be to reverse the zippers on the handwarming pouch. My preference would be to have it close zipping from top to bottom instead of bottom to top. Great product. Thinking of getting some as gifts. I am a fan.
