A versatile two-in-one baselayer which can keep you warm, or keep you cool. Equally suitable for high mountain use as for cycling or trekking.
The Grid Technic uses Parameta® G fabric which provides both insulation and wicking properties. The design includes a zipped neck, thumb loops and an athletic cut.
The Grid Technic is essential kit for both highly demanding and everyday outdoor activities.
No matter what your activity, finding a clothing system which can cope with differing temperatures and activity levels throughout the day is a challenge. People often end up adding or removing multiple layers to stay comfortable.
The Grid Technic helps reduce the number of layers you need by offering cooling when exposed to the wind, or insulation when covered with a windproof or waterproof.
The Grid Technic has a zipped neck, thumb loops and an athletic fit.
Variable ventilation to the skin provided by the zipped neck. A zip garage at the top protects soft skin under the chin.
Thumb loops to hold sleeves in place when required. In cold conditions this eliminates any gap between glove and jacket to maintain hand warmth.
A comfortable, athletic silhouette with a broad range of movement provided by efficient styling in stretch fabric.
Parameta® G fabric is two fabrics in one, providing cooling when needed and insulation when needed.
When covered with a wind-proof the fleecy grid squares trap air and provide excellent insulation. When uncovered the gaps between the grid allow moving air to go straight to the skin, promoting cooling. The structure of this next-to-the-skin fabric optimises lateral water movement for evaporative cooling, keeping you comfortable when you are working hard.
These features provide a fabric which can keep you warm and keep you cool, and therefore is useful in the widest range of temperature conditions and activities, from high mountain climbing to gentle spring and summer walking, and all year round cycling.

Choose a Grid Technic because it is versatile and reduces the layers you need to stay comfortable
The Grid Technic combines the wicking and insulating benefits of Parameta G fabric with a practical, comfortable design.
When worn on its own, the Technic wicks sweat across a large surface area for efficient and rapid cooling. When covered with a windproof layer the raised grid pattern traps air in the garment to offer excellent insulation and warmth. As a result, the Technic does the job of both baselayer and mid-layer, reducing the number of garments you need to carry with you.
The design is comfortable and practical, with a contoured shape and an athletic fit. The high collar offers neck protection, but can be unzipped to allow ventilation to the skin. For colder conditions, the thumb loops allow the wearer to secure the sleeves in place and eliminate any cold spots between gloves and baselayer.
How will your Páramo® baselayer outperform other wicking baselayers?
Most other baselayers on the market are either thin for use in warmer conditions, or thick for use in colder conditions. This means that throughout the course of a day where temperatures or exertion levels vary, you may have to put on and take off several layers.
Páramo’s Parameta G baselayers offer more versatility, behaving like a thinner, cooler baselayer when uncovered, but like a thicker, warmer baselayer when covered with a windproof outer.
Which garments should I use with my Parameta® G baselayer to get optimum performance?
This Parameta G fabric used for this garment makes it ideal to use underneath garments made from Nikwax Windproof or Analogy Waterproof fabrics. The fabric’s raised grid pattern is protected from wind, trapping air for insulation. If used with a style which offers ventilation zips, this allows you to expose areas of the Grid baselayer, providing cooling which can be easily attained without taking layers off.
Use the Grid Technic covered by Nikwax Windproof for moderate insulation and water resistance. This combination is great in warmer conditions where showers rather than heavy rain are predicted.
Use the Grid Technic covered by Nikwax Analogy Waterproof for a higher level of insulation and full waterproofing. This combination is good on colder winter days, especially if heavier rain is expected.
