On top of my Rab base layer I normally walk in this (apart from hot weather), Cost now £129

I used the combination a couple of weeks ago when the wind chill was -10. I would use another layer,  if I was going to be stationary in very cold weather.

I have a Paramo Alta 2, but if I wanted a new jacket I wouldn't look at this type of anymore. Nowadays I prefer a single skin jacket (cheaper as well) I get and maintain my warmth by what I wear underneath. A couple or three layers, which I can slip on and off as my temperature goes up and down is my preference these days.. My Paramo is at its worst in the warmer months, the bit of exercise, an uphill section and I'm uncomfortable, in the colder months its not too bad. I tend to only use it now when I stroll into town or go to the pub.


I know exactly what you're saying. Had the Paramo Pajero for 6 years but I've mainly used my Mountain Equipment jacket. I'm desperate for a new jacket, thinking about the Paramo Velez smock light but may go for another light Gore Tex.
