The best light outdoor waterproof jackets around in our humble opinion...
Finding ethically produced outdoor gear without forfeiting on quality performance can be a challenge. Not so with Paramo. Paramo are the leading ethical producers of waterproof clothing in terms of the labour, production and environmental impact of materials. Paramo has an ethical manufacturing partnership with the Miquelina Foundation in Bogota, Colombia, which gives vulnerable women training and employment, and helps to care for and educate their children.
The key strength of the Velez Adventure Smock is it's ability to draw perspiration through the the jacket whilst remaining waterproof, making it ideal for cycling or hiking adventures.
