Páramo Torres Alturo Jacket: fast warmth in the cold and wet

During alpine or winter activities in prolonged cold, you need fast insulation which is lightweight, packable and offers maximum warmth even when wet.

Sized to go over a waterproof to warm you quickly without removing layers, the Torres Alturo delivers excellent warmth-for-weight and packs into its own internal pocket.

The fabric: Nikwax Analogy® Insulator

Synthetic fill provides very effective warming even in the wet, can be compressed in a pack and washed in a washing machine. The excellent water-repellency is renewable with Nikwax aftercare.

Our fill uses 55% recycled content.

The features: Mountain Friendly

  • Helmet-friendly, insulated, fully adjustable fixed hood with wired peak.
  • Hand-warming from insulated, harness-friendly pockets
  • Easily packable within internal map-sized storage pocket
  • Scooped tail with adjustable hem for protection and heat retention.
  • Excellent freedom of movement without excess fabric.

The verdict:

“The instant warmth & comfort is a godsend. Despite the cold wind-driven rain, I remained dry & warm all day the first time I wore it. Two weeks in the mountains with fellow instructor friends, wind & rain again - out with my Torres over my Velez. I was very smug, warm & dry, unlike my companions. Great kit, keep up the good work!"
