Paramo

[Bosun11 537]

It's not my thing to write reviews on here, never thought I would but I thought i'd share with you the best piece of kit i've had in a long while.

 

I've been wearing Paramo Trail shirts in the field for about 7 years and find them superb.

 

It'll keep you warm in winter and cool in summer as its reversable, it's tough, smart and you never have to iron it. If your on a demanding outing it'll keep you bone dry too as it 'wicks' away any moisture. If I'm honest, they are pricey but it will last you years.

 

Always worn next to the skin as a base layer, you only need an outer shell in the most demanding of weathers.

 

Get one of these and i'll betcha you never wear anything else!

 

Paramo do some crackin stuff, I have many mates who swear by it.

Do you know anybody with either a pajaro or halcon jacket as I'm considering splashing out on one of these with the money I got for my birthday...I wouldn't normally be able to afford one.

[Bosun11 537]

I think a mate has the pajaro, if it is, he rates it highly. Another thing is that Paramo will re-enforce any areas of clothing for tougher wear, apparently you send 'em back to the company with specifics and they'll sort it.

 

Got a hunting mate on to Paramo a few years back, he liked the gear and bought more, he'd always suffered with soriasis (spelling?) but after wearing Paramo it cleared, now he lives in the stuff.

I know it is not a consideration for most field clothing but Paramo always looks ragged, never tidy. I used to wear it at work but I looked like I had dressed from the rag bin, even if I was bone dry in the heaviest rain.

 

OTC

Looks good gear Bosun, might take your advice on this one as well as the fell Boots.

[Bosun11 537]

i'd agree with you there OTC, on the early outer stuff but it has got a damn sight better, with new lines in jackets. As for the Trail Shirt I originally posted on, well that looks smart as feck, especially in the 'Forrest' green.

Thanks Bosun. I'm on holiday in Appleby in late May/early June so will try to get one then.

Just looked on E bay, and you can get them for 39 quid.

 

Checked the sizing though, XL is only a 42 chest.

So will need to go to a Trek shop to try 1st.

I'm a fair bit bigger than a 42" and got monkey arms too AA and I wear the XL. Best try before you buy though, i'll be worth it coz i'll bet you'll live in it!
