Description
To keep comfortable while mountain walking, you need efficient moisture control to prevent chilling, and good ventilation to reduce the need for clothing changes while you're carrying packs and using navigation equipment. Ideal for all walking activities to the highest level, the Paramo Alta III Jacket uses Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric for very effective weather protection and moisture management, with easy ventilation for temperature control, a reinforced back panel for pack carrying, and many other walker-friendly design features.It's cut to be unrestrictive, protective and comfortable, with shoulder and arm articulation that allows for the maximum movement without the jacket riding up.Upper arm vents with mesh Pump Liner for temperature control on the move without water ingressRapid-drying mesh Pump Liner reinforcement on shoulders and back..Six pockets: 2 handwarming pockets, 'fast access' chest pocket with D-ring attachment, large external map pocket, secure internal map-sized pocket and valuables pocketPrecisely adjustable, wired-peak hood which stows in collar - works well with goggles or spectacles and gives a wide field of visionTwo-way locking front zip (with poppered internal storm flap) allows for easy ventilation and access to inner layersAdjustable cuffs easily pushed up or rolled for cooling.Waist cord adjustment for precise fitConcealed cords and locks throughout improve water/ snow sheddingNikwax Analogy fabric is not only very breathable, but also directional - it directs liquid water as well as water vapour to the outside, protecting your insulation (standard breathable membranes cannot transport liquid water, so if your sweat production exceeds moisture vapour transfer, condensation builds up, soaking your inner clothing, and leaving you cold). Nikwax Analogy garments work better for high activity, and in cold or humid conditions, removing all sweat and condensation. Another bonus is that Analogy fabric does not use a membrane or laminate layer to keep you dry, so it is soft and rustle-free (membranes or laminate waterproofs are often noisy and inflexible)The Paramo Alta III Jacket has passed the Leeds University Rainroom Test, so you can wear it with confidence in heavy rain or in cold conditions throughout the year. Because the fabric system offers significant insulation, this is not the best garment to deal with heavy showers in very hot conditions.This garment has been produced using Paramo's Ethical Manufacturing partnership: click the 'Info' tab above to see more detailsSince 1992, Paramo have partnered with the Miquelina Foundation in Bogotá, Colombia, giving valuable opportunities for vulnerable people. Women at risk from criminal gangs are offered training and employment, homes and childcare. Over 80% of Páramo's annual production occurs at Miquelina, including all of their Analogy waterproof garments.
