Has anybody tried a arktis mammouth, its similar to a buffalo special 6?

The Mammoth shirt is basically a copy of the Buffalo Special 6. There a few differences though (I've never had an Arktis but have handled one and owned a buffalo for a number of years). IMHO the Buffalo is made from higher quality materials and is a bit more bombproof than the Arktis one. The Buffalo also has a "shirt tail" back panel.

To be honest if I was looking for this type of pile/pertex shirt I'd wouldn't purchase either of them (and that’s saying something as I love my buffalo!) as you can get a Field Smock from www.extremeoutdoorclothing.com (under Military) which is basically exactly the same as the Buffalo and Mammoth but its made to measure (you get to choose the colour too!) for about the same price as the Mammoth and it has more venting options. :eek:

....... quite hard to beat really. :D

Just had a look at their website, first of all I was really impressed by the prices and then I saw the 'Where Eagles Dare' jacket, FANTASTIC I WANT ONE!!! :D

Yep the military price list is basically the same as the regular discounted prices. I ordered their brochure a while back. It was just a photo copy with hand drown pictures but seemed pretty comprehensive. They also supplied small swatches of the different fabrics in all the different colours available. The order sheet was quite comprehensive as well with a guide on how to take all the different measurements they would need to tailor you smock. All in all I was quite impressed.
