Paramo pants are superb for winter action when combined with a buffalo activelite shirt, they just need the ME style and fit!!

Paramo do pants? Fair enough. Their trousers are pretty good too. Cut is a bit on the baggy side though

Hi Bos,

Another plug for Cioch.

They will do you trews that fit you, not baggy, and, with extra bits if you want. And, go for a Glamaig smock or jacket and you are done.  They meet all the techy stuff that Paramo do.

The Buffalo activelite shirt will be ok, except in real rain.

Nodrog.

But how are the new Fur Tech troos going to be cut and will the heavier than Paramo material make a difference?
Anyone got a pair?

can't afford them. if they're like the excellent jackets they should be a slimmer cut.

I was half hoping you had your order in already Parky. In terms of your jacket for which I assume the material will be identical, do you get any idea that it might be noticably warmer than the current paramo fabric?

i'm in a full scale sulk about it at the moment after someone posted that there was a 40% discount for those who allowed furtech to send them an email. wotabaht existing customers!?! (i have a claw and a talon) otherwise they would be winging their way to me. so for the time being the cascadas will suffice.

the jackets seem warmer than paramo because they are closer fitting.

Thanks Parky.

Bottom line is that after being drawn to the dark side by various commentators on here (including yourself) I am growing rather fond of my Velez so when drawing up my Christmas list was looking at the Cascada troos.

I also noticed that comment re the 40% discount so nipped over to FurTech and signed up but nothing from them as yet. With a 40% discount, I could be swayed.
