Overview
The Socorro Shirt is for active women travelling to hot climates
Warm weather activities, such as sightseeing, backpacking or safaris, benefit from clothing that not only helps you stay cool but provides protection from UV and biting insects, and allows travel essentials to be carried securely.
The Socorro combines the ultra-cooling and protective lightweight Parameta A fabric with travel-friendly design features that help keep out insects, provide discreet pockets and allow freedom of movement. The Socorro provides protection and cooling in one easy care, very weight-efficient shirt in a flattering female fit.
The Socorro offers design features that enhance the fabric protection, provide practical pocketing and allow full freedom of movement
- Protection from sun and biting insects offered by traditional collar that fastens tightly, cuffs with secure closures and closely spaced buttons.
- Discreet pocket for secure, secret storage of passport without altering the garment’s fit.
- Ease of movement due to arm and shoulder articulation and centre back pleat.
Parameta® A fabrics are rapid evaporation fabrics that help to keep you cool and protect you in warm environments.
All Parameta A fabrics wick very effectively, rapidly spreading perspiration over a large area to provide maximum evaporation in order to keep you cool at higher temperatures. It blocks virtually all damaging UV rays (UPF 50+), and the close weave deters biting insects.
Parameta A fabric comes in assorted weights to suit different requirements:
- Parameta A Light for travel shirts (100% polyester)
- Parameta A Cotton+ for legwear (cotton blended with modern synthetics for a rugged, fast-drying fabric).

- Maximum freedom of movement from articulated sleeves.
- Centre back pleat aids movement and fit.
- Double buttons at bust prevent gape.
- Low bulk cuff allows sleeves to be rolled up for cooling.
- Minimal rucksack rub over shoulder area due to flat shoulder seams.

How will my Páramo warm weather wear outperform other trek and travel wear?
The Parameta A fabric used for Páramo trek and travel wear provides superior performance for warm weather. As well as feeling light and cool, it is designed to actively cool you by spreading perspiration to prevent pooling and using every last drop of perspiration to cool you. The dense weave not only blocks virtually all harmful UV rays but also very effectively deters biting insects. Many other ‘insect deterrent’ fabrics use a treatment which will wash out after only a few uses. It dries very rapidly making it ideal for travel and expeditions when washing facilities may be limited.

In what kind of weather conditions can I use my Socorro Shirt?
The Socorro’s Parameta A fabric is ultra-cooling, holding perspiration close to your skin and evaporating it to keep you cool. It provides UV protection so is ideal for hot, sunny weather. Because the fabric provides active cooling, the shirt may be less comfortable in cooler, windier conditions, especially if you get wet. In more temperate conditions, we suggest a wicking baselayer in Parameta T+ or Parameta G, if necessary worn under a Nikwax Windproof, to provide less cooling.
Which garments should I use with my Parameta® A garment to get optimum performance?
Parameta A is an active cooling fabric, very effective in hot conditions, and so is often worn alone. If extra protection is wanted in windy or showery conditions it can be combined with a Nikwax Cotton+ outer or a Nikwax Windproof. Both of these will help to deflect wind and showers without inhibiting breathability or adding significant insulation.
In hot conditions, we recommend pairing Parameta A® shirts with a pair of light, fast-drying Parameta A® Cotton+ Trousers.
How do I look after this Páramo item?
This item works best if washed using one of Nikwax’s synthetic baselayer products such as BaseWash® or BaseFresh®. Unlike standard washing detergents, these products enhance the wicking performance of your kit and prevent odour build up.
