Mid Layer

Páramo's renowned reversible shirts are made from the unique Parameta S fabric - naturally directs water to the non-fleecy side, so keeping you cool when worn next to the skin, and traps still air in the fleecy side, helping you to stay warm and dry when worn next to the skin. Two garments for the price and weight of one! You choose which way out to wear the shirt according to the weather conditions.

Páramo Stretch pants and accessories use Parameta X fabric- a lightweight, wicking fabric which traps air next to the skin and directs water away for warmth.

Caring for your Mid Layer

All the Parameta® fabrics from which Páramo base layers are constructed can be laundered with a normal non-biological detergent on a 40 degree synthetic cycle in a washing machine or hand washed in warm water.

We recommend Nikwax® BaseWash® for all Parameta® fabrics - it has been especially formulated for performance fabrics and offers distinct advantages:

• enhancing your Páramo base layer's wicking performance, helping the fabric to absorb and spread every drop of perspiration more efficiently in order to dry quickly;
• keeping you warmer in cold weather and cooler in humid climes;
• inhibiting the build-up of body odour and refreshing the fabric;
• prolonging the effective life of your base layer
• all in an environmentally-friendly, water-based, non-persistent product that's easy and safe to use.

We recommend that you do not use either fabric conditioners or waterproofing products on Parameta® fabrics as this will affect their wicking performance.

Garments can be dried naturally or tumble-dried on a cool setting.
