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. Dumping heat has never been so easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1013\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone2.jpg\" alt=\"Sam Stone2\" class=\"wp-image-30904 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone2.jpg 1013w, https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone2-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone2-150x98.jpg 150w, https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone2-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone2-600x392.jpg 600w, https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone2-64x42.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1013px) 100vw, 1013px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignfull is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element is-style-narrow-right\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\" id=\"recycling-scheme\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"717\" height=\"649\" src=\"https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone3.jpg\" alt=\"Sam Stone3\" class=\"wp-image-30905 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone3.jpg 717w, https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone3-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone3-150x136.jpg 150w, https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone3-600x543.jpg 600w, https:\/\/paramo-clothing.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/sam-stone3-64x58.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-narrow is-style-container\" style=\"margin-top:15rem;margin-bottom:15rem\"><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><strong>Why it Matters<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are exploring serene slot canyons lined with petroglyphs or navigating a snowstorm, you deserve a comfortable, eco-friendly waterproof jacket that keeps you &#8220;bone dry.&#8221; Choosing P\u00e1ramo clothing means investing in waterproof clothing that protects both you and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As Sam puts it: &#8220;It&#8217;s truly the most comfortable outerwear on the market.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WINTER BACKPACKING IN SOUTHERN UTAH P\u00e1ramo ambassador Sam Stone recently tested the Velez Jacket during a two-week through-hike of the backcountry of the Zion and Bryce Canyon Wilderness, alongside the Dixie National Forest Winter.
