Hi All
I spent an hour yesterday staring at a bank of Paramo outer jackets (and not helped by not having my size in all three for direct comparison)
Having dismissed the fleece+windproof jacket combo (which spookily then becomes waterproof.. ..clever these techie guys) and pull-over jackets I was left with the Pajaro (apparently designed for us outdoors types) Alta and Alta II. Now don't know about you lot but when I ask 'what is the main difference between these' question I don't expect dumb comments like 'this has got big outer pockets' on the Pajaro - der, I can see that thank you...
So, can any of you help me with key practical differences in terms of cut & feel, material used etc.? I can then do the value for money comparisons. And practical issues like water leakage into pockets (I have not yet come across an external bellow type pocket that doesn't suffer in heavy rain)? I notice for example on the Alta jackets that the lower pocket openings are 45degrees and vertical which is not necessarily clever for notebooks
Confused
