The Baracuta storm parks are absolutely beauties but it would need to be a half price sale & even then fucking expensive...

I was going to say something myself but those words are an adequate description

I didn't realise I had accidentaly posted in the 'Comment on the male model' thread, which appears to be frequented by 6ft 4 Greek Gods.

It has been said to me once or twice,always about somebody else though.

Just bought a new parka and thought I’d get a heavy waxed jacket with padding. Also fancied a bit of colour given my usual assortment of dark blue and black coats for the winter months

Nice. Looks expensive, was it?

[VladimirIlyich]

I dont think it gets cold enough for a heavy coat in most of the UK any more. Rainproof,wind resistant and light are the requirements nowadays. Some stuff looks great but just not practical over here.

Yeah I've got a couple of heavy parkas in the loft, I'd only wear them if I was stood out in the cold literally all day, they're bulky as fuck.

Pretty expensive, roughly the same price as your Filson Mackinaw although I got a 20% discount. But I’m now at a point in my life where I’m prepared to spend a bit extra on coats, boots and similar so long as they are of sufficient quality that I know I can get at least 20 years out of them. And I no longer give a fuck about fashion so I don’t need to worry about getting new stuff every year or two

Thinking about buying a Buffalo Special 6 smock jacket for cold weather walks. Quite expensive so does anyone have any experience of the Special 6 or of any other Buffalo jackets?

They’re not waterproof, are they? Waterproof fabric is essential for walking in this country, in my opinion.

Shower proof but hyper breathable or summat.

I've had my Buffalo MTB shirt for over 20 years now. Still keeps the wind out a treat. I wash it annually in Nikwax tec-wash so it beads the worst of the rain off. It's designed to be worn over a light fleece so if you do get wet you'll dry out very quickly, so fine for showery weather. They're a proper job and if you look after it, will look after you.

 

Paramo do decent outdoors gear too and might be worth a look, Expensive, but ethically sourced and manufactured.

MounTain Bike. It's just an unlined shell/shirt that buckles 'neath the taint. but it works a treat with an underlayer. They do a road bike version of it now, £220 though. Ouch. And it's in yellow.

 

You've got me looking at Buffalo gear now. Because the 19 coats I have are just not enough..

Think I'm gonna pull the trigger on the Special 6.

This is how we can afford to be so picky in the various Fit Lasses threads.

Does it come with the Beetlejuice head shrinking magic potion?

[sir roger]

Looks like something from Men In Black

[Dr Nowt]

What on earth are those Dryrobe things all about?

I'm fully into middle-aged man winter weather gear now and am Patagonia'd up to the eyeballs, but fuck dressing in a shower curtain.
