I seem to be in a minority with my ideas on clothing, confounding people with tracksters and a pink windshell among others. No doubt I'll cause some more bemusement when I post in the near future about another recent acquisition - a buff!. I just had a quick scan of your blog and the pictures are superb - great depth and detail. I'll have a closer look soon. I've added a link on my Blogroll, if you would like a different title let me know (it has to be really short to fit in the dropdown list). Michelle,

And I took the plunge with Paramo about 3 years ago and haven't looked back since. Superb. I know it's all to the individual and fit etc but they really are that good. Articulated knees, reinforced in key areas etc. The feel silky smooth against the skin, you can sit down on wet ground and still be warm and dry and so on. Shame they can be so expensive and also they are not really a pleasure to wear in warmer months. Well, I’ve used all sorts on my legs in the outdoors, Geoff.

Weekdays out of season: just the job!. Terry, Paramo would certainly be warm and cut out the wind, and would probably replace overtrousers too. I don't know about the feel and movement, I've never tried them. James,

Terry,

The Cascadas I find are perfect for backpacking in the winter months. I too hate trousers to a degree having "rugby player" thighs and the like from my athletic days.

I'll wear the Ortlers on a 2-dayer in Wales starting tomorrow. Hee-hee, that would be freedom of movement of the kind I don’t really want!.
