Because P\u00e1ramo\u2019s unique, PFAS free outdoor apparel utilizes the Nikwax Analogy system to mimic nature, it doesn\u2019t just block the rain, it moves liquid water away from your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;The ability to hike with significant weight while the jacket manages both exterior moisture and sweat proves unparalleled,&#8221; Sam said. &#8220;The P\u00e1ramo kit effectively wicks moisture from the body and subsequently keeps me dry while protecting me from the elements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignfull has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element is-style-narrow\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\" id=\"re-store-adventure\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-narrow is-style-container\" style=\"margin-top:10rem;margin-bottom:10rem\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:2rem;text-transform:uppercase\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Performance in Every Condition<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At P\u00e1ramo, we believe in a different measure of performance. It\u2019s not just about the miles logged, but about the peace of mind that comes from wearing sustainable outdoor apparel. Sam\u2019s P\u00e1ramo Velez jacket isn\u2019t just a piece of gear; it\u2019s a commitment to innovative, sustainable outdoor clothing that is ethically manufactured and designed to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When we asked Sam about his favorite features of his P\u00e1ramo rain jacket, he pointed directly to the innovative ventilation:<br>&#8220;The pit zips and pocket vents are fantastic. Traditional pit zips are very cumbersome to use when wearing a pack. I really enjoy that P\u00e1ramo has placed the zips on the upper arm. Just as effective as a pit zip, but significantly more accessible mid-trail. I also love the pocket vents.
