PARAMO ENDURO JACKET £425
Using the Nikwax Analogy approach to waterproofing, the Enduro features ‘directional’ technology: a water-resistant, DWR-coated outer to deflect rain, and a wicking ‘pump liner’ to physically move liquid water (rain and sweat) away from the body. The result is a soft, cosy and noiseless jacket with amazing breathability and top-class weather protection. VERDICT A super-comfy jacket with a unique approach to waterproofing – but it’s very warm, so best-suited for cold-weather adventures.
