Product Information

Full details

The Buffalo Systems DP Hood is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, mountaineers, and hikers who require reliable protection in harsh, windy conditions. Utilizing a combination of a durable Pertex shell and an AquaTherm pile lining, it provides excellent wind resistance and warmth while maintaining low weight. While it offers superior elemental protection, it is specifically engineered for use with compatible Buffalo DP System clothing rather than as a standalone headpiece.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this hood with a non-Buffalo jacket?

The hood is designed specifically to attach to the Buffalo DP System via a proprietary touch-and-close attachment system; it will not properly attach to standard jackets.

How much does the DP Hood weigh?

The hood is very lightweight, weighing only 90g.

Is the hood waterproof?

The Pertex shell is windproof and highly water-resistant, designed to keep you warm and dry by managing moisture through the pile lining.

Does it fit over a climbing helmet?

Yes, the hood is cut with enough volume to accommodate most standard climbing helmets while maintaining its protective features.

Can I machine wash the hood?

Hand washing with a mild detergent is recommended to preserve the performance of the technical fabrics.

What is the function of the AquaTherm pile?

The AquaTherm pile is designed to provide insulation while actively wicking moisture away from the skin, ensuring you stay warm even if the interior becomes damp.

Troubleshooting

Hood keeps blowing off in high winds

Ensure the rear two-position adjuster is tightened correctly and that all touch-and-close attachment points are fully pressed together.

Face piece feels restrictive

Detach the face piece via the integrated connectors and reposition it to allow for more airflow, or remove it entirely until needed.

Hood is not aligning with jacket

Verify that your jacket is part of the official Buffalo DP System range, as the attachment tabs are proprietary to this clothing line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The DP Hood is designed exclusively for compatibility with the Buffalo DP System range. To attach the hood, align the touch-and-close tabs on the base of the hood with the corresponding attachment points on the collar of your Buffalo jacket. Once attached, use the two-position rear adjuster to dial in the fit so the hood rotates with your head, preventing obscured peripheral vision. Care for your hood involves periodic hand washing in cool water with a mild, non-detergent soap to maintain the integrity of the Pertex shell and the pile lining. Always drip dry the hood away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the technical fabrics.
