Páramo Alta III £300

The day when the Alta III doesn’t feature in a roundup of the very best winter gear will be a dark day indeed. This truly is one of the most remarkable outdoor products; warm, highly breathable, packed with useful storage, a sophisticated hood and the power to inspire you to get out and stay out, no matter that it’s coming down in stair rods. And with TLC from Nikwax cleaners and proofers, it should last for years. paramo-clothing.com
