Overview
The Unisex Torres Smock provides fast upper body warmth in very cold weather conditions during all outdoor activities.
Physical exertion outdoors followed by periods of being stationary can lead to irregular body temperature, particularly in ever-changing climate conditions.
The Torres Smock ensures you benefit from its durable synthetic fill, even in wet weather, without needing to remove any garments. The clever design ensures minimal space is taken up while stowed in a pack yet delivers a high warmth to weight ratio during use.
The Unisex Torres Smock can be worn over a baselayer or an outer layer to warm you quickly. It packs down easily and has zipped pockets for secure storage.
- Comfort and warmth provided by a durable synthetic fill throughout, a high, insulated collar, and a fully adjustable, insulated hood
- Extremely packable thanks to a clever design that ensures minimal space is taken up while stowed in a pack
- Clever storage from one large torso pocket that can be accessed from both sides, and a secure zipped chest pocket
Nikwax Analogy Insulator’s synthetic fill provides very effective warming even in wet conditions.
The Insulator combines Nikwax Windproof closely woven microfibre outer with a synthetic, water-resistant fill to cut windchill and provide excellent insulation for overlayering with other Nikwax fabrics. It retains body heat very effectively to warm the body quickly and deflects the rain while providing excellent moisture vapour transfer. It packs down small, giving a high warmth to weight ratio. The fill gives a down-like feel and performance with the benefit of still working well when wet. It can be compressed in a pack without damage and washed in a home washing machine.

How will my Páramo® Analogy Insulator outperform other insulation?
Páramo’s Torres Insulation is very practical. Unlike down fill, the synthetic insulator fill works just as well in the wet, can be compressed in a pack and washed in a washing machine. The excellent water-repellency can be renewed with Nikwax aftercare. The down-like feel and performance provides an excellent warmth to weight ratio, which packs down small but retains body heat very effectively for fast warmth whenever needed – without concern about getting it wet.

In what weather conditions can I use my Unisex Torres Smock?
Your Unisex Torres Smock can be used throughout the year in cold or wet weather, or when you need to keep warm. The dense microfibre outer and the synthetic fill can cope with poor conditions and the insulation will not be affected if it gets wet.
It can be put on over any other kit when insulation is needed, however is not suitable for activities in warm conditions.
In less cold weather you may prefer the lower insulation and partial coverage of the Men’s or Women’s Torres Medio Gilet.
Which garments should I use with my Nikwax Analogy Insulator to get optimum performance?
Nikwax Insulator garments are sized to be put on quickly over your jacket, fleece or baselayer to provide rapid warming when you are stationary or in very cold conditions. They can equally be worm over a baselayer if required in less cold conditions. Worn over a Nikwax Analogy Waterproof they will not inhibit its directionality, so perspiration or condensation will continue to be moved away from you. They can also be worn over wet garments without any loss of performance.

Páramo clothing does not rely on hazardous PFC treatments for water repellency.
Working closely with Nikwax, we have developed a pioneering PFC-free treatment for our fleeces, waterproofs and windproofs. Recent studies show that PFC’s are persistent in the environment and are damaging to human health; which is why Nikwax waterproofing solutions are water-based, use no harmful solvents or propellant gases, contain no damaging PFC’s and are not tested on animals.
For more information on Páramo and PFC’s click here.
All Páramo garments are covered by our Recycling Scheme, which prevents them from ending up in landfill. For every item of Páramo clothing you recycle with us, you will receive a voucher of (up to) £50, to use against a future purchase.
Nikwax Analogy fabric systems are uniquely suited to recycling as they avoid the need for mixed materials, membranes or taped seams. Instead, they use 100% polyester, which unlike many materials, can be broken down and reformed into new, high-quality fibres.
