Waterproof level
NAOur waterproof gear is designed to keep you dry in all conditions, but not all items offer the same level of protection. Each piece is measured by its hydrostatic head rating. For occasional use, such as an emergency shell for unexpected showers, a lower rating is usually enough. However, if you’ll be out for long periods in persistent rain, choosing a higher rating will provide better protection.
Insulation level3/5Our insulated garments are designed to keep you warm, but the level of insulation varies depending on the activity and conditions. For light use, such as a jacket to throw on during chilly mornings, a lower insulation rating is usually sufficient. However, if you’ll be spending long days in freezing or exposed environments, a higher level of insulation will offer greater warmth and protection.
Windproof levelNAWind resistance refers to how well your garment blocks the wind—an essential feature in cold or exposed environments where windchill can rapidly increase heat loss. However, greater wind protection usually reduces breathability, meaning windproof garments will keep you warmer but won’t release moisture as effectively during strenuous activity.
Durability3/5The more durable a garment is, the better its abrasion resistance, making it less likely to be damaged by rocks or sharp tools. The trade-off is that added durability often means extra weight and reduced packability, which may not be ideal if you’re aiming to travel fast and light.
Moisture movementNAThanks to Páramo’s unique Nikwax Analogy system, our garments actively move moisture away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable even during intense activity. The trade-off is that maximum moisture control can reduce insulation, so choosing the right layer helps you balance dryness with warmth in different conditions.
Ventilation3/5Páramo garments are designed with practical ventilation options, such as zips and adjustable openings, allowing you to release excess heat and moisture quickly. This makes it easier to regulate your temperature on the move, though keeping vents open may reduce overall weather protection in harsh conditions.
