I'll warn you now Buffalo isn't cheap, but they are well respected over here.
Well Leon, you say that it's not cheap......but, a buffalo mountain shirt can be worn next to the skin (and works best) and doesn't need a waterproof shell over the top (as warm wet as dry like they say). You can use it through 3 seasons in the UK.
This means that for £90 you can replace:
Thermal top £25
Fleece jacket £75
Goretex shell £200
I make that £210 cheaper than the alternative.
Now if you are talking sleeping bags then yes they are pricey but they are also specialised due to the size and weight, you have to really
need one but still the whole system costs less than Stuarts phd down bag so again not necessarily expensive.

Buffalo is top kit though and lasts a long time. I've had a pertex windshirt which transforms a normal fleece into a windproof and almost waterproof layer for 15 years now and it makes a great towel as a bonus.
