and wondering if wearing a rucksack over it would squash the fleecy
stuff in a fashion permanently damaging to its properties?

the fleecy stuff in the Buffalo shirt.
I've had a Buffalo for the best part of ten years. It doesn't get much use
now, as the elbows and cuffs are a little grubby, but it survived periods of
hard, daily use both on the hills, caving, landscape gardening,
archaeological excavation, etc. etc.
There are the odd worn patches in the "fleecy stuff" but it's survival is
incredible, really. It must be the oldest, most used bit of kit I have.
Now I tend to wear a lightweight Gortex and have a down jacket in my
rucksack ... perhaps I've started feeling the cold?
