Top 5 reasons for choosing Paramo:
1. UNIQUE NIKWAX DIRECTIONAL FABRICS - offering unsurpassed breathability and comfort – All Paramo garments use innovative fabrics engineered by their sister company Nikwax – designed to actively ‘direct’ water (liquid water as well as water vapour) to where you need it to keep you comfortable. This goes from the newest reversible next-to-the-skin Parameta T to the outer protection of Nikwax Analogy.
As a result of Directionality, Paramo gear outperforms other outdoor garments – better than ‘breathable’, more comfortable than ‘waterproof’, as silent and supple as ‘soft shell’, Paramo continues to perform in a wide range of temperatures.
2. ‘ON THE HILL’ DESIGN - for "tried & tested" performance and features – All Paramo designs originate and are refined by their design team based in the Lake District. They are tested extensively in the Paramo labs and by their team of highly critical gear testers on the hill.
‘Paramo style’ emanates from function, comfort and safety not just fashion. Each garment works superbly on its own but is also designed to be combined effectively with others in the range. Through to skin ventilation sited for maximum function, pockets in the sizes, shapes and places to be most useful, adjustable hoods and cuffs plus excellent articulation for unrestricted movement.
3. CHOSEN BY OUTDOOR PROFESSIONALS - including our local Mountain Rescue Team & Countryside Wardens – Rescue Teams, Outdoor Instructors and guides were among Paramo’s earliest converts. Today, they remain the focus of our development – by satisfying their needs, Paramo can be sure that all outdoor enthusiasts gain from fabric and garment improvements.
Paramo gear is selected for its comfort and safety on the hills by such organisations as the National Search & Rescue Dog Association (SARDA), English Nature, the Countryside Council of Wales and the National Trust for Scotland. It’s the first choice of some 30 teams within the UK Mountain Rescue Community, who routinely use Paramo day in, day out across the wet and windy UK.
4. LONG TERM PERFORMANCE BACKED BY LIFETIME GUARANTEE - they just won't wear out! – With Paramo, there’s the guarantee of performance and comfort that will last.
