Paramo Vasco Jacket Reviews

Having spent the last 6 months listening to my friend 'bang on' about how great Paramo kit is, when i saw the web deal crop up i thought to myself...why not, what harm can it do! How glad i was to go with gut instinct, this jacket is FANTASTIC, it's warm, light weight, comfortable and smooth (unlike cardboard Goretex Jackets). I'm the type of walker who prefers the shorter style jacket by that i mean i dont like things around the top of my thighs and this jacket is ideal.,if i have only one small gripe to make about it that is the hood, i cant work out why Paramo would make a hood that isnt attached to the body of the jacket even when it's rolled away in the neck pouch, you have to pretty much take off your jacket,open the neck pouch take out the hood and then attach it to the press studs that keep the neck pouch closed !!!! Wouldn't it have been easier to just attach seperate studs on the inside of the pouch and have the hood permenantly in situ for when the rain comes...or is it just me applying logic !!! But overall THE best jacket i've ever owned and i cant see me ever reverting back to anything else. £99...ABSOLUTE BARGAIN.
