I've had a Paramo Fuera Ascent for the last month or so and I think that it is a great jacket.

If you like the Paramo Velez then this is the windproof for you, it's torso vents are easy to open while wearing a pack.

my opinion, for what it isn't worth. crap pockets.

Surely some mistake? Size 43 and 80 quid, definetly sounds like a shoe size and price. Can you clarify please.

Does it really weigh 390g? The previous Fuera Windproof is said to be 532g, and seems to be a similar jacket but with fewer zips.

it's cut a lot, lot better than the fuera windproof - almost as if they used a human to model it. you can save a lot of weight by not putting usable pockets in it to counter the extra zips.

Cheers Parky - I thought the Fuera windproof was a bothy bag with sleeves!

i think the combination isn't really designed for walking. more for if you do something that makes you very hot very quickly and you need to cool down and then stay warm. like ice climbing or alpine walking.
