Featured in Outdoors Magic's Outdoor 100, the Torres Smock means serious business. It’s filled with 133gsm worth of warm, synthetic insulation while also using Páramo’s unique wet weather system involving water resistant and quick drying fabrics combined with Nikwax’s hydrophobic solution.
Like many of Páramo’s garments, the Torres Smock features their proprietary Analogy system. In short, this technology creates a highly water resistant and very breathable jacket that, unlike membrane-lined jackets, allows moisture to move out through the fabrics to be absorbed into the atmosphere. Combined with a highly water resistant synthetic insulation, the Torres really does make for a very storm repelling garment.
WIN a Páramo Torres Smock Worth £250
Storage-wise, you’ve got a large zipped chest pocket for items such as a phone, compass or GPS, and then a huge pocket that’s accessible from both sides for keeping your hands warm or stashing an OS map or gloves.
The main zip is two-way so you can use it for venting, while the cuffs are also designed so that you can open them right up to allow airflow or even roll them up to your elbows to get fresh air onto your arms. You can also expect reflective details for night time visibility and adjustment at the hem.
There are some good sustainability aspects too. The hydrophobic treatment, for instance, is PFC-free and Earth kind, and there’s also the fact that the jacket has been designed to be highly durable and easy to repair, whether that’s a minor adjustment while in the field or by Páramo’s dedicated repair experts. It’s definitely worth having a nosy around their website if you want to find out more about the brand’s ethics.
