Paramo Velez Smock

Paramo garments are second to none when it comes to condensation control as they pump water away from the inside, keeping you dry from the heaviest rain or sweatiest activity- and this is the biggest advantage of this jacket over anything else tested.

You also get extra ventilation from two zipped side vents. Behind these zips you`ll find a tunnel handwarmer pocket that is ideal for defrosting frozen fingers. The best feature is that it is a smock, which improves breathability, lowers weight and bulk, and allows larger chest pockets. The chest pocket is huge and just the job for maps, guidebooks or gloves when biking or climbing.

It also benefits from a scooped tail that is short enough to protect without bunching up at the front when biking or wearing under a climbing harness.

The hood can be completely removed, which is great for climbing or biking when helmets are worn anyway. The hood can also be rolled down, has a wired peak, fits quite well and moves well with your head. Reflective piping completes a good features list.
