Jon,

It looks as if the stitching has come undone in both of the arm pits . I say looks, as the edges of the lining's fabric has frayed quite a bit now but I imagine that is what has happened - I doubt the material has had two similar tears on opposite sides, which both happen to be near the stitching.Obviously with the breaks in the liner, the insulation is beginning to come out of the holes. 

 I was thinking of patching it myself but then my needle skills are appalling and I am not sure if it wouldn't just happen again.  Plus it would void any form of guarantee. I'm surprised as its not had too much use.

Sounds like the seam was sewn a bit too close to the edge (or not finished properly), so the fabric has unravelled.  QA issues happen with all companies, and I'm sure Paramo will sort it out for you.

If you can send it back to us we'll get it sorted for you asap.

You should be fine for few more days yet but just in case -  due to Christmas postage etc if you may need it over the Christams break then it may be better to wait until the new year?

Yep - will send it in after Xmas as I'm not going to need it for the rest of the month.

Like I say, I like the jacket and think I've just been unlucky in this case.  We can't all be perfect (or so my ex constantly tells me!)

Well I'm sure I just drew the short straw (as per usual with my luck) - I must say i do really like it and the concept and am interested in getting the trousers at some point.

But first I have to decide whether to get a Velez  adventure light or a Quito- choices, choices...if only it were Xmas....

No I'm not working for them - I've been made redundant so am spending more time on the internet .  I've also gradually been persuaded to the Paramo camp (but don't think I'm an evangelist)

Now I would happily say anything about Arc'teryx if they wanted to give me some stuff free. Any offers? Anyone?

Oh sorry Mike - bit dense knackered.

But the comment about Arc'teryx stands...did I also mention I like Aston Martins?

I don't work for anyone at the moment ( got made redundant just when I got back from Nepal ) I was an Architectural Technician nothing to do with the Paramo company. I just know a good product when I use it, along with my ME fleeces, Craghopper Kiwi's and my BD Guide gloves. I don't even get commission by encouraging people to try it out.

Mike you're too suspicious! I just comment on kit I own.
