Paramo Women’s Ventura Jacket review

As part of of The Great Outdoors’ November 2020 review of women’s waterproof jackets, Judy Armstrong reviews the Paramo Women’s Ventura Jacket

If I’m heading for a long, wet day in the hills, I grab a Páramo jacket. It is simply the most reliable way to stay dry, with Nikwax Analogy dealing with both rain and perspiration. But if I’m carrying a waterproof in case it rains, I take a 3-layer because Páramo jackets are significantly heavier and bulkier in a rucksack.

The Paramo Women’s Ventura Jacket, which has been around since 2014, has a neat cut, dropping to mid-thigh, with a two-way zip. Panels under the arms, across the back and down the sides have a modicum of horizontal stretch that works well when I’m reaching for scrambling or climbing. Zipped venting is minimal, on the upper arms and lined with mesh; I found these less effective than the usual open vents. The lining mixes solid and open mesh panels, aiding moisture movement.

The pockets are superb: sides high enough to clear a hipbelt and climbing harness, three on the chest (inside and out), and an odd, small one on the left arm. The hood is adjustable at back and sides, although I could not reduce the volume to prevent the wired peak flopping over my face (problem solved by wearing a baseball cap underneath to hold the peak up). Peripheral vision is good, and that soft, quiet fabric makes all the difference when it’s wedged against ears.

Other ticks: PFC-free DWR, Fairtrade, recyclable through Páramo. A great jacket for consistently foul weather (assuming use of a cap), although warm/heavy in less severe conditions.
