Product Information

Full details

The Buffalo Systems DP Hood is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and mountaineers who require reliable head protection in harsh, variable conditions. By combining a classic Pertex shell with an AquaTherm pile lining, this hood provides exceptional windproofing and insulation. It is perfect for those already using Buffalo DP System clothing, though users should note that its effective performance is best achieved when worn in conjunction with compatible high-neck garments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the hood waterproof?

The Pertex shell is highly windproof and water-resistant, suitable for heavy snow and light rain, but it is not classified as fully seam-sealed waterproof.

Can I wear this without a Buffalo jacket?

While it can be worn independently, it is designed for the attachment points on Buffalo garments and may not stay secure without them.

What is the temperature range?

The hood is optimized for usage in temperatures between -5°c and +12°c.

How do I attach the face piece?

The face piece attaches using the integrated touch-and-close fasteners located inside the hood opening.

Is the hood machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash to preserve the technical integrity of the pile and the water-repellent finish.

Troubleshooting

Hood keeps slipping over eyes

Adjust the rear two-position strap to tighten the crown fit.

Cold air entering through the neck

Ensure the touch-and-close tabs are fully engaged with the jacket collar.

Pile lining feels damp

The AquaTherm lining is designed to wick moisture away; ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable mid-layer underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind resistance up to 50mph
  • High-performance moisture-wicking AquaTherm lining
  • Compact and lightweight for easy storage
  • Versatile coverage with the detachable face piece
  • Seamless integration with Buffalo garments

Cons

  • Best performance requires specific Buffalo clothing compatibility
  • Style is utilitarian rather than aesthetic-focused
  • Limited effectiveness in extreme sub-zero alpine conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Attach the hood to your Buffalo garment using the touch-and-close fasteners located at the neck. Ensure the hood is aligned symmetrically with the collar before tightening the two-position rear adjuster to prevent it from sliding over your eyes.

Compatibility

The hood is specifically designed for the Buffalo DP System. It attaches seamlessly to the Mountain Shirt, Belay Jacket, and other compatible Buffalo outer layers that feature the necessary attachment points.

Care Instructions

To maintain the Pertex water-repellent properties and the efficiency of the AquaTherm pile, hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the technical fabrics.
