    New Paramo Velez Adventure smock and other stuff

    I live in Cornwall so I'm always coming into contact with gorse, barbed wire etc and haven't had any problems - I'm more worried about cigarette burns as I'm a smoker. Paramo fabrics are mostly very slippery and don't tend to snag. To quote paramo.... 1 Soft, but very strong fabrics Páramo®...

    New Paramo Velez Adventure smock and other stuff

    I've now had the opportunity to try the Velez Adventure in anger - we've had everything here mild & drizzly, cold & windy, horizontal rain....the Velez does very well.

    New Paramo Velez Adventure smock and other stuff

    It's Christmas and I don't do celebrations or parties or pubs - so with all that money I've saved by being a miserable git I've been shopping 'again'... Velez Adventure smock - same two layer wind & waterproof as the Velez but it's now got a fixed hood. The design is one I've not come across...
