Provenance:
Mountain Guides, Allen Fyffe and Iain Peters went to climb Broad Peak in the Himalayas in 1992 and got some sponsorship from Berghaus. They donated several items to the expedition including this windsuit which belonged to Allen Fyffe. He in turn donated it to us.

It is rather large while Allen is rather small; the excess can be seen in the photo above and the blue item on the ground is Allen’s down suit which we also have in the collection.
