Páramo was founded in 1984 by Nick Brown, the same chap we have to thank for popular clothing and gear aftercare brand Nikwax. In fact, you’ll notice the Nikwax logo on all of Páramo’s products, the brand constructs all its clothing using various Nikwax directional textiles to achieve the desired performance.
What are directional textiles? I hear you ask. Well, pretty much all of Páramo’s fabrics are designed to let moisture escape while keeping varying degrees of wind, water and cold out, depending on the fabric. It’s the brand’s own take on performance fabrics and it means you won’t find any hint of a Gore-Tex or Polartec logo here – everything is done in-house.
