I'm no longer a Paramo lover, I succumbed to an expensive waterproof jacket purchase, regret it now but too late, the money is spent. I agree with all of the negatives. In hindsight, too heavy, too hot in the warmer months and too bulky to fit comfortably in my rucksack. It helped me though, I moved onto single skin jackets, poncho's, rain skirts and now a waterproof coat that cost me £15 and does the job so much better!
For me, it's not just about Paramo its do with all of the other companies as well, obviously, some are better than others, but I will not make that financial mistake again.
