PÁRAMO Ladies’ Cascada Trousers (£100)

TGO Rating 5 stars

You wear, rather than carry, Páramo clothing. It feels heavy in the hand and in the pack, but light on the body.

The attraction is weatherproofing without the need for the membranes, laminates or coatings that, no matter what manufacturers claim, create condensation. After testing in a variety of conditions, I can report that Ladies’ Cascada Trousers prove that Nikwax Analogy works. They have kept me dry in cool and wet, cold and wet, and snowy weather, worn next to the skin or over leggings in freezing conditions. The thigh-high zips vent efficiently, and studs above and below the knee prevent excessive gaping if the zips are fully undone. A relaxed cut, articulated knees and a gymnast-friendly crotch, plus the friction-free fabric, mean the trousers move with you. Even better, the choice of leg lengths teamed with a multi-talented waist arrangement mean virtually every woman will find a pair that fits. If you want waterproof trousers rather than overtrousers for cold weather, these are the answer. Go get ’em, girls
