Páramo Velez Adventure Smock 2008

£180.00

Páramo garments have a broad following thanks to their unique fabric, which controls condensation better than anything else, and keeps the rain out (and the performance can be maintained for life using Nikwax). Two zipped side vents on the Páramo Velez Adventure Smock add ventilation and give access to a zipped tunnel handwarmer pocket. The design is a smock, which ...

Paramo Short Gaiters

£25.00

A shorter style that secures just above the ankle, giving a completely different look and feel. Cool, light and very comfortable. If grass/mud/water remains below the cuff they are wonderful, and so much lighter than most. Otherwise you’ll need something longer.Contact: 01892 786444, www.paramo.co.uk

Paramo Cascada

£180.00

A great fit with well-designed sleeves and a good combination of Velcro and elastic at the cuffs. Hem and waist drawcords help fine-tune fit and hood was easy to adjust. Comfort-wise, it’s hard to knock the Cascada, which is cut from a wonderfully soft and rustle-free fabric making it a real pleasure to wear. Good breathability, making it really pleasant ...

Páramo Aspira Jacket 2008

The Páramo Aspira Jacket controls condensation better than most alternatives due to its unique fabric, which also remains waterproof indefinitely if treated with Nikwax, unlike conventional waterproofs that leak if punctured.

Páramo Alta II 2008

Páramo garments have one huge advantage over all other waterproofs, and that is that they have exceptional control of condensation, which means you stay dry both from rain and from sweat. The fabric is soft and rustle-free too, making it very comfortable to wear. Compared to most jackets here, the Páramo Alta II general-purpose jacket is also longer in the ...

Páramo Maui Cargo Shorts

These have plenty of secure pockets, jeans-style at the front (which may not appeal) and a variable hem. Made in VietnamUK stores 150(01892) 786444; www.paramo.co.uk

Páramo Cambia Sports

£25.00

This reversible T-shirt is pitched as ‘two garments for the weight and price of one’. Wear it one way round and it keeps you cool. Turn it inside out and it’ll act as a warming base layer. Versatile, very comfortable and designed with hill-walkers in mind, it is great value.

Páramo Cascada Trouser

£100.00

These featured in Trail’s waterproof trouser review too, but they are really soft shell trousers and so are ideal for use in any weather. Because of the nature of the fabric, and the design and construction, they will not only serve as really comfy, well-thought-out walking trousers but when it starts to rain they will also keep you dry and ...

Páramo Torres Smock

£100.00

This insulated jacket is the only smock we looked at, so if you have a preference for this style, it will certainly be a contender. It should also be considered if your normal hill-walking ensemble is the Páramo system, as the Torres smock is designed to work over other Páramo garments. Notable features include a fully adjustable hood with a ...

Paramo Cascada

£100.00

These winter trousers from Paramo are a little long and baggy, but are incredibly comfortable next to the skin and lovely to move around in. A belt would be better than the drawcord adjuster, though. Not only really warm, but waterproof too, so they offer superb protection in bad weather. A little toasty for milder winter days perhaps, and not ...

This duvet jacket has a generous body size, designed to be worn over another jacket; synthetic insulation; tunnel waist pocket; fixed hood; XS-XXL size range; medium level of insulation is ideal for UK; map-sized chest pocket; very durable fabric.

Because of the nature of the fabric, design and construction of these trousers, they will not only serve as a really comfortable, well-thought-out walking trouser but when it starts to rain they will also keep you ...

£60.00

Typically of Páramo, this fleece mid layer is dedicated to being functional on the hill. At around 484g it is reasonably lightweight. It can also be worn inside-out if you find it a little too warm. The fabric is very durable and wind-resistant, and will keep light drizzle at bay too. It is a smock design, which allows a large ...

Páramo Alta II

£220.00

A superb general-purpose waterproof jacket that is very popular, the Alta boasts a unique fabric that controls sweat better than most and yet keeps the wearer dry in heavy rain. It is a little warmer than most jackets, so you don’t have to wear or carry so many insulating layers across the hill. Ventilation at the top of the arms ...

Páramo 3rd Element

£200.00

Páramo garments benefit from the advantages of the soft shell concept as well as the hard shell concept in many ways, as they control condensation better than most conventional waterproofs, but are softer and more durable than most hard shells. This 3rd Element soft shell jacket takes the range of climatic conditions that soft shell garments can tolerate to a ...

Páramo Cascada Pant

£100.00

These women’s walking trousers have an elasticated waist with drawcord and belt loops; very water-resistant and breathable fabric that feels great on; three quarter length leg ventilation zip; press stud ankle cuff adjustment; well-cut with an articulated knee; two zipped hip pockets. But rather bulky and heavy; most would also find them too warm for year-round use; fabric has no ...

Páramo Merapi Vent

£50.00

These men’s walking trousers use beautifully soft fabric; zipped mesh vent in thigh; map-sized gusseted hip pockets; articulated knees; hidden zipped pocket; elasticated waist with belt. But black belt doesn’t match trousers and shouts ‘outdoor!’ and so isn’t cool; baggy cut is not ideal for the hill.

Paramo Cascada

£100.00

These Paramo Cascada pants are incredibly comfortable against the skin, but may be too long and too baggy – meaning mud quickly works its way up the insides of the legs. There’s only a basic drawcord adjuster at the waist. These are effectively waterproof trousers however, with the breathability of normal pants, so they’re superb in bad weather. They’re too ...

Paramo Merapi Vent

£50.00

The wonderfully soft Parameta fabric makes these a dream to wear. However, with no stretch, the cut is a little tight for really strenuous movement. The waist is elasticated and they come with a good webbing belt. Loose in the leg and light, these perform well in warm conditions, where vents make things even more comfortable. They are a little ...

Paramo Cascada

£180.00

This waterproof jacket from Paramo has a lovely relaxed, comfortable fit and the soft fabric feels more like another layer of clothing than a traditional waterproof. The body is long and the cut is generous, although drawcords at the hem and waist help get a decent fit. The stiffened hood is outstanding – coupled with the high collar, you can ...
