My Helki and my the Paramo stuff is ok as long, as tech wash regularly (do TX Direct annually). I have Paramo cargos which are really comfortable, though again went to wash them over Christmas, purged the washing machine of detergent (only have access to a shared washing machine, so have to do a few water rinses beforehand to make sure) and then realised I ran out of tech wash.
. I know I should of checked before I done that!
I just would prefer another jacket (a shell), which I know has good dependable review and is certainly breathable, as I run hot!
