First of all, I’ve got two fuera ascents, one in red and a fluro yellow one. Got em cheap in sales…paramo xtras on eBay.
Compared to my old 3rd element waterproofs. the sizing is more generous, especially around the waist.
They’re sizing is much more akin to the quito without a pump liner.
I think they’re guaranteed against manufacturing defects so shouldn’t worry about zips.
The hoods big enough to go over a bicycle helmet comfortably.
It’s got a wire stiffener at the brow and cinch cords.
Some observations;
The xxl fuera ascent is still much bigger than my altura waterproof in xxxl!
The fluro yellow fuera ascent seems to be made of a stretchier material (like the gamex? of yore), compared to the red one.
Keep an eye on paramos eBay shops. Sometimes they knock 15 percent off the price. So you might pick one up for £35 or so.
