Paramo jacket sizing.

Hi, Anyone with any comments on how the Paramo or Quito size up(down)?

I’m a ‘normal’ Medium so probably looking at a Medium, but owners views would be helpful as I’m looking to order online.

Thanks.

Stu.

I’ve a Quito, am large, wear large.

I bought a quito earlier in the year, send it straight back. The general cut is boxy and short, and the liner seemed to be for a different size than the outer.

MSP, that doesn’t sound good. Did it seem like a ‘one off’, I’ve not heard too many bad things about them?

I’ve been thinking about getting one for a while now – think I’ll do a little more research to see whether there are other negative comments out there.

I picked up a Quito in a go-outdoor sale earlier in the year. I am 5ft10, mr average and I picked up a medium in line with their sizing recommendation i seem to remember.

Unsurprisingly the outer material is so soft it hangs slightly differently to having a stiffer jacket. This does make it very comfortable. It is warmer than a normal jacket but you just need to have less on than you would have done previously. I am very happy with it.

It is not skin tight but that is fine with me as I am no racing whippet.

I have a different Paramo jacket but their cut is very similar. It has occurred to me that with some rigging and a decent tailwind a few Strava segments are mine for the taking.

Got a few paramo jackets. I’m an XL and Paramos are bang on. Not slim fitting though which is why I like them. The newer stuff is a more ‘athletic’ fit but still more generous than Rab.

Oh, sorry I thought you were talking about the north east’s post-pub delicacy.

That last post brings back memories of living in the Boro…not all good ones I hasten to add!

What is that? It’s calorific and all the better for it – I need one of those

One of these!
