Gear features in association with

NEW Torres Gilet

Paramo Torres Gilet

Garment Name: NEW Torres Gilet

Suggested Usage: High Mountain, Hill & Hike and Multi-Activities

Garment Specification: The Torres Gilet is a wear anywhere, do anything garment. It can be used for overlayering over an Páramo waterproof garment or worn directly over a base layer. Either way it will deliver fast insulation when needed for the body's core torso area without encumbrance on the arms. It packs down into its own breast pocket for transporting, yet the moisture-repellent synthetic 100g fill means this low pack size can deliver a high warmth-for-weight ratio even when wet.

Garment Features:

  • High insulated collar for comfort.
  • Beard guard at top of front zip.
  • Two-way, reverse zip with internal storm flap to allow effective ventilation and access to internal pockets.
  • Elasticated at arm holes and hem to improve fit and heat retention.
  • Sized for everyday wear but choose a larger size for overlayering with the Nikwax Analogy® system.
  • Durable fabric and components plus sturdy construction make this a robust garment for regular use in all conditions.
  • Can be treated with Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In® to optimise wet weather performance.

Pockets

  • External secure breast pocket with vertical zip doubles as easy storage for the gilet when not in use.
  • Two handwarming pockets, which zip from the bottom to minimise gape when in use.
  • Internal mesh storage pocket to utilise body heat for drying and warming items.

Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL

Colours: Black

Fabric: Nikwax Analogy® Insulator = Nikwax Windproof® outer, breathable lining and 133g synthetic fill provide water-repellent, fast-drying block insulation.

Average Weight: 370g

RRP: £70

It's warm but it does not pack small.

The Paramo concept for this product is mostly in wet conditions you put the Torrest Gillet over the top for added insulation. In this regard it does that job. The item does claim to fold into it's own pocket but is a tight & practised event.

It IS warm, it is easy to add, the collar is tight and the collar won't easily zip over another garment around the neck.

Over a base-layer is adds warmth. Over a waterproof it also adds warmth but competes around the neck.
