Recommend me a heavy weight mountain military fleece

Buffalo are great. The Snugpak version isn't as good IMHO - I've had both and found the Snugpak more bulky and less comfortable. Add a Montane fleece hood if you can find one - they're better than the Buffalo model.
.

The Montane kit is great , just wish they made the sizing a little larger for us bigger units.

Had both and got rid of the Montane.

Heinnie sent me an email which mentioned this, I have no idea if it is any good though.

Seems like you get a lot of fleece for £50. That's pretty good value, to my mind.

I bought one after reading this thread, arrived this morning and I can't take it off! it's really good, a lot of fleece for your money.

I bought a Helikon Patriot and it was so good I bought another!

Im not sure of the thickness for either of them but I have the Austrian army fleece which has reinforced shoulders, a high collar that fastens around your chin and a Berghaus activity fleece, I would recommend either but be more inclined to go for the Austrian as its also water repellent. I also have a Helikon patriot but always thought it was a bit lighter than the others
