You can buy all the Buffalo Systems products on Ebay. They ship from the UK but it’s not a big deal. I bought a Special 6 shirt and hood though ebay a while back. Great piece of kit, albeit a bit heavy.

Ahh, missed that.  I’ll take another stab at it then.

I believe Polartec Thermal Pro High Loft is similar to the pile lining of my Special 6. I have a Melanzana hoody made of the stuff and it looks similar. The pile is a bit more wiry and the Thermal Pro is a bit more furry.  I would guess that they are very similar functionally. That’s why I purchased the Melanzana, to have a more versatile pertex and pile system.

The Haglofs uses 380 g/m2, which is something like 11.2 oz/yd2, and  the Melanzana uses a 7 oz/yd2 fabric.

If you Google “polartec high loft jacket” there are a fair number of options from the usual manufacturers.

The Melanzana like most of them is not a full zip.  That is the issue, finding a full zip and hooded version.

The only other thigns I have found close are the millet Roc High Loft and the Triple Aught Designs Shag Master Hoody

Yeah and Haglofs won’t have the larger size in until sometime late September/early October.

Not necessarily but some money and a window of time tied to it has opened up.
