Re: Paramo Velez Adventure Light Smock

Not a paramo fan, but i do like this jacket!
Was working in Whalley earlier this year and nipped in, its wall to wall paramo!There are other brands too of course. The owner was there and chewed the fat with me for ages, although I was just looking.
Good independent store :)

Re: Pack for walking WHW

I think it weighs about that Ross, empty with the back removed. Mega comfy :-D
Bought it on a whim after my last pack bust 3 hours before heading out and have to say I'm very happy with it!
