I've had a love / hate relationship with paramo since their humble beginnings. Too hot for Spring into summer, and I've found no matter what I do the light weight variants leak under sustained rain, (ciclo being one) so after the full circle of buy / sell I've moved back to pile and pertex- for winter teclite for sumner with a ventile shell, double layer for winter single with double on the shoulders for spring / summer. Works for me, it's puncture proof and Spark resistant.
I owned this jacket for a few months and wanted to love it, but I just couldn’t live with the neck zip configuration - I found it a complete mess and just couldn’t get comfortable. I sold it and bought the normal Velez Adventure Smock, which I find is a little roomier in the body and has a sensible neck zip. Definitely keeping this one!
Interesting. I didn't have issues - and I like that you can fold it out of the way when it's not raining. I do really like the smock version too though. I've reviewed that here: ua-cam.com/video/BZ-0PDPrzzA/v-deo.html
Terrible review it's rubbish you get absolutely soaked in it from the rain what's wrong with just telling the truth especially when it can cost people alot of money
Hi William. In heavy, prolonged rainfall, yes, moisture penetrates. But when it's raining on-and-off I'd definitely rather be in Paramo than a membrane jacket. You might find this test I did - and my conclusion at the end of the video - of interest. ua-cam.com/video/vIY1tMtULBA/v-deo.html. Will
@@OutdoorsMagicTV out of interest what would you believe to be the best waterproof jacket at the moment had the Adidas terrex myshelter active gor tex 3l and it's still going strong after 3years but was thinking of sumthing New
@@williamlowry5704 That's a decent jacket. In terms of 3L membrane shells, I've been really impressed by the Haglofs Spitz Pro - not cheap though. The Mountain Makalu is worth a look at too - that's bombproof.
Great to see your back. Good review

@@OutdoorsMagicTV I watched your review before I bought the new one - it helped me decide and I got it in the same colour 😂👍
Thanks will have a look was looking at the keela pinnicale jacket but I find the dwr on keela pretty poor
Bought one got really fed up with the 2 zip arrangement. Fussy and uncomfortable. Went back to the Adventure smock
