WINDPROOFS

Our own design and a perenial best seller.Totally unfashionable but extremely functional unlined windproof pull-on smock top made in ultra-light but tough Pertex Ripstop 4.5, and specifically designed for climbers. Features a hood, two stitched in hand-warmer pockets, and a large zipped chest pocket big enough to hold a map, guidebook and a bar of chocolate. This pocket also houses a belt and the whole top can be packed inside itself and fastened round the waist with the belt where it can still act as a guidebook pouch. Ideal for climbing, alpinism, ski-ing, snowboarding, ski-touring, mountain biking, fell running and hill walking. This is one bit of outdoor gear that we guarantee you will always take with you whatever the activity - superb!

Chest Sizes: S 38", M 40", L 42", XL 44", XXL 46". Each size is cut baggy with about 5" extra on the intended chest size.

NB Sorry XXL is only available in Black.

The photo shows John Peck on his successful row across the Atlantic which he accomplished in 2004 with Fraser Dodds. John writes:-
"When I purchased a Needle Sports Pertex Top a couple of years ago, I knew that it would serve me well for running in the mountains of the Lakes, and it certainly does that OK. Lightweight, breathable and quick to fold into itself and clip around your waist whilst on the move.
What I was not to realise was that the same top would prove to be a Godsend to me when I spent 10 weeks earlier this year rowing across the North Atlantic. At night with the hood up, it was, very often, all I needed to ward off the occasional dowsing from the waves breaking over the boat and the odd brief chilly shower. Despite being rigid with salt it weathered the conditions superbly throughout, and remained a good trusty friend in a very hostile environment.
I am now about to embark on the Marathon des Sables, a 150 mile trot across the Sahara. Once again, I am choosing my Needle Sports Pertex Top to ward off the worst of the chill evening breezes and the sting of the sand. On an event where weight is a huge issue, the top is as light and you get and folds up very small. Above all it is a good companion in the wild. Thanks Needle Sports for producing another amazingly versatile and functional bit of kit."

The Buffalo Windshirt is basically a Buffalo Mountain Shirt without the lining. It has no pockets (except a chest map pocket) and no hood though a Buffalo Hood can be attached. However the Buffalo Unlined Hood is (in our opinion) a poor design and we do not stock it, though we would be happy to obtain it to order. Like the Mountain Shirt, the Windshirt features side ventilation zips.

A very effective ultralight windproof layer that allows your body to breathe far more effectively than a "breathable" waterproof.

230g approx.

NB We don't generally stock Black or NATO Green but they can often be obtained to order.

Brilliant on any expedition , whatever the altitude, unless it is likely to be really wet.

Designed to be worn over the Expedition Salopettes and Jacket; it is cut slightly larger to accommodate this and is sized accordingly. However it can also be used over standard clothing like Powerstrech tights and feece tops for alpine type expeditions.

Features: Fixed, double layer hood, with volume adjuster and stiffened peak, High fleece liner collar, Four pockets for storage, two zipped and two Velcro sealed, YKK zips with multiple pullers that run from ankle to wrist to aid ventilation and access, with storm flaps. Not waterproof.

Designed for walkers and mountaineers who prefer a full length zip, but featuring the same close fitting hood as on the Vapou-Rise Smock, this jacket excels for mountain walking and climbing in blustery, cold and showery conditions, but not when it's actually raining as it is not waterproof. What it is though is much more breathable than a waterproof and wind and water repellent. It does a similar job to the Marmot Dri-Clime but in a tougher fabric (albeit heavier) more suitable to climbing and scrambling. Pertex Equilibrium® fabric with new water repellent shield treatment. Pertex Equilibrium® fabric provides a superb, highly windproof and durable operating environment for the user. New shield treatment gives a water repellent outer. Full length double slider zip allows easy ventilation. Three outer pockets for storage and hand-warming. Adjustable cuffs allow venting or a storm proof seal. Wired peak hood folds under collar.

Shelled DriClime is the original Softshell. It is a must-have for active outdoor activities. It's concept combines the 3-dimensional wicking of DriClime® with a wind-resistant, highly breathable shell. In use, the DriClime layer transports sweat quickly away from your body. The moisture spreads out on the outer surface of the DriClime® fabric, away from your skin. With the moisture dispersed it is easily evaporated through the quick-drying shell; reducing the chilling effect in situations when your're working hard yet cooling off fast. Ideal for running, biking, climbing (though not super robust, so beware the gnarly chimney). More weather resistant than a Pertex shell on its own.

This is the slighlty less snazzy "Original Version" which functions just as well as other similar Marmot products but is cheaper.

Pertex 4 Ripstop with 'Teclite' micro-pile lining overhead garment. This shirt is the high activity or mild weather alternative to the DP Shirts, where less insulation and maximum wicking is required. Used extensively in milder weather by mountain bikers and cyclists, climbers, and hill walkers.

The unique lining is an ultra lightweight fast wicking hydrophobic micro-pile, which gets rid of internal moisture very rapidly, and although very light the Pertex is surprisingly tough and windproof. Together they provide an exceptional performance in breathability and moisture transmission. The design incorporates the standard features of the "Mountain Shirt" with the addition of an integral hood which folds away into the collar. Recent improvements include a better design of collar and hood adjustment, and cuff straps instead of the previous elasticated cuffs. The sleeves are cut wide enough to pull up over the elbows.

Designed to be worn over a base layer.
