Out mountain biking in the pishing wet for two hours, an Endura Munro packable jacket that cost £30-odd a few years back and has lain stuffed in a ball in panniers and rucksacks for months on end. Got back to the car sweaty but protected from the elements.
Out walking the dogs when I got home, a Paramo “windproof and water repellent” jacket that has been religiously tech-washed and nik-waxed ever since I got it.
Got home after about 10 mins out in less heavy rain, soaked along every seam and right across the shoulders.
Based on my experience I’d say don’t believe the considerable hype about Paramo clothing. Waste of money.
