Brilliant lightweight bit of kit. I am amazed at how small it will pack and still open out and look presentable. Not used it in really severe weather yet, but so far it is excellent

brilliant .light weight very comfortable feels like it has been lived in for ages.

This was a renewal of my Paramo Jacket, with a slight trade down from the Pajaro to the Cascade.I cannot speak too highly of these clothes (I also have the trousers), wonderfully comfortable and water- and wind-proof. If thinking of buying one, the only caveats are 1) they are 4 seasons in Scotland but too warm for the Alps in Summer, and 2) they do tear easily if caught on a thorn, fence or rock. Otherwise just wonderful!

Bought this jacket 3 years ago and with a lifetime guarantee was very satisfied until the main zip suddenly broke. Missing teeth from the plastic zip. Not impressed for a jacket currently listed at nearly 200 quid! Even less impressed when Paramo quoted me 47.50 to repair. So much for a liifetime guarantee. Won't be buying Paramo products again.

Approaching 83, with 70+ years' outdoor experience and many waterproofs, my Paramo Cascada is unquestionably the best ever. For twelve years has been worn daily in all weathers for dog walking, and extensively on Scottish hills. Reproofed annually, it has never failed to keep me completely dry. Plenty of freedom for layering underneath for winter. Cannot recommend too highly.

I didn't purchase my Cascada from GoOutdoors in 2003, but am considering replacing it as I use it autumn/winter/spring as my go-to jacket on the hills, on the coast, shopping or going to my London office. It has been attacked by everything British weather can manage in some pretty wild spots in Snowdonia and the Lakes, and keeps me far more comfortable than top class goretex - which may be why some of the Mountain rescue people swear by their higher spec'd paramo kit. I bought my first in 1992, and was only replaced when they introduced the rollaway hood which makes it more town-friendly. I regularly wash and reproof, but after all this use it is beginning to look a bit scruffy, though still absolutely waterproof (in effect - technically speaking it may not be because of the way the system works) compared with goretex (still remember getting really chilled coming down from the Carneddau on a cool humid day in my top spec'd goretex). My wife also is on her second Cascada. I genuinely cannot understand the less good reviews, but obviously it works better for some than for others I guess.

Excellent service from the staff - nothing was too much trouble.
Very happy with the gear purchased and they price matched without any fuss.
Cannot recommend them more highly having done my homework in other stores in Manchester and online.
