Our 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.
Durability 3/5
The 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 Movement 4/5
Thanks 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.
