NEW Men’s Ostro & Women’s Alize Plus Fleeces from Páramo

Unique directional fleece offering exceptional warmth, water-repellency, breathability and comfort for all activities in mountain environments.

This technical hoodie uses high loft, wind-resistant, water-repellent - and amazingly soft - Nikwax® Fleece+ and combines with the Ostro or Alize Windproofs for full waterproofing when needed - offering really versatile cold weather protection

  • Zoned Nikwax Fleece fabrics provide optimised insulation, as side panels under the arms allow heat to dissipate, while high loft Fleece+ is in key areas for insulation and water-repellency.

  • Simple, close-fitting "Ninja" hood fits well under a helmet with off-centre zip for comfort.

  • Five pockets, all lined with mesh Pump Liner® to help move moisture.

What’s different about this fleece?

Many mid-layers simply provide extra insulation over a baselayer. This fleece offers more versatility:

  1. It’s water-repellent - so provides great protection when worn as an outer layer.

  2. It’s directional, moving moisture from perspiration and condensation away from you constantly to leave you more comfortable.

  3. In the worst conditions, it’s designed to work with the highly packable Ostro or Alize Windproof to provide a higher level of weather protection, equivalent to the protection of one of our waterproof jackets.  As a result, it adapts easily to protect you in a huge range of conditions.
