FUERA WINDPROOF SMOCK (CLASSIC)

The Fuera Classic Smock is for outdoor people who need lightweight protection in changeable conditions.

Outdoor activities across three seasons require protection from wind and light rain, even in warm weather. You need a low-bulk, packable garment with easily accessible storage and options for temperature control.

The minimalist design of the Fuera Classic Smock in Nikwax Windproof fabric provides a breathable, water-repellent garment with sleeves that can be pushed up to aid cooling, and a large map sized storage pocket.

The Fuera Classic Smock offers a simple, functional design, lightweight weather protection and secure storage.

• Ease of use and freedom of movement during activities from the garment’s classic cut.
• Secure, easily accessible storage from a large dual access chest pocket, which also provides handwarming.
• Enhanced weather protection from a fully adjustable wire-peaked, stowable hood, and hem drawcord.

Nikwax^® Duology Windproof cuts windchill and protects your insulation but still provides excellent moisture vapour transfer

Nikwax Duology Windproof uses a closely woven microfibre fabric that cuts windchill and protects your insulation whilst providing excellent moisture vapour transfer. A Nikwax PFC-free durable water repellent treatment deflects the rain.

Worn in combination with one of our Duology fleeces it traps still air in the fleece fibres to provide varying levels of insulation and waterproof protection depending on the weather conditions and activity.

Choose a Fuera Classic Smock as a simple multi-activity windproof...

The Fuera Classic Smock combines rugged Nikwax Windproof fabric with a clean, minimalist design. A large dual access chest pocket for maps and guidebooks, and a fully adjustable, stowable hood, ensure an excellent multi-activity garment.

So expect a simple windproof smock that offers practical weather protection and temperature regulation, and easily accessible secure storage.

How will my Páramo Windproof outperform other windproofs?

Your Páramo windproof offers more versatility. Firstly because it is water-repellent and has a fully adjustable hood, it provides a good level of protection when worn as an outer layer, while offering exceptional breathability. Secondly, because in the worst conditions it can be worn over a Páramo Fleece to provide a higher level of weather protection. Therefore, it can adapt easily to a very wide range of conditions.

Páramo windproofs are extremely tough and durable, so suitable to be used in many different environments without damage.

1. Generous dual access chest pocket providing secure storage for maps, guidebooks and other essentials
2. Fully adjustable wire-peaked hood ensures head protection, maintains visibility and can be secured when not in use
3. Scooped tail with hem drawcord provides additional protection, temperature control and a precise fit
4. Central chest zip provides additional venting
5. Cuffs, with hook & loop fastenings, easily push up for cooling
6. Short front length provides additional freedom of movement during more intense activities
7. Reflective piping on the front and back yoke provides visibility in poor conditions

People who have bought the Fuera Classic Smock say this about it...

“Good designs last. I’ve had this old favourite windshirt for over fifteen years now and I still find it as good as ever. Páramo has brought out several windproof tops since the Fuera but happily has kept it in the range. With a forecast for windy but mostly dry weather it seemed ideal for this trip. In fact, I only wore it on one day but then it was just the right garment to keep off the cold wind. I also wore it in camp when the breeze was chilly. The design is functional.”

Chris Townsend

“Depending on my mood I am either a landscape photographer, a hill walker, a scrambler, a runner or a mountain biker. The one garment sure to cope with all of these activities is the Fuera windproof smock. A simple but truly versatile piece of kit that is ideal for keeping out wind and light showers. With a sizeable front pocket suitable for maps, snacks or lens filters, the Fuera continues to be the first item I grab when 'just popping out' and is sure to be a long term addition to my wardrobe.”

J.Cartwright, www.juliancartwright.co.uk

“I needed a windproof smock with map pocket and, having checked out several brands, heard a lot about Páramo. I was dubious about how good it could be for the price but I was so wrong. Every time I wear the Fuera Classic Smock I am so toastie in the Welsh hills in Winter, only feeling the wind on my face. I'm amazed at how good the Fuera is and I can’t wait to explore your other products. I also love the green colour. Thank you!”

In what weather conditions can I use my Fuera Classic Smock?

The Fuera Classic Smock provides protection from wind and light rain while offering excellent breathability. It is ideal when combined with a Páramo baselayer on temperate days, when breathability and flexibility are more important than total waterproofing. Because the fabric is not fully waterproof, this garment is not suitable in heavy rain. In that case we recommend a Nikwax Analogy^® or Nikwax Duology^® waterproof system.

Which garments should I use with my Nikwax Windproof to get optimum performance?

This Nikwax Windproof garment can be used over Parameta T+, Parameta T or Parameta G baselayers, to protect you from windchill and light showers. This is an ideal combination for summer walking or climbing. It is also great for high exertion winter activities such as trail running or cycling, where your route might take you onto exposed, windy ridges.

Parameta G’s raised grid pattern will give you extra insulation under your windproof. Parameta T provides a balance between light insulation and heat dissipation for mid-range temperatures. Parameta T+ is our lightest and coolest wicking baselayer fabric, ideal for warmer conditions where you do not need significant extra insulation. The fabric will manager any sweat you produce when working hard, rapidly moving it across the fabric for easy evaporation.

For trips when you are likely to experience extreme cold, our Nikwax Insulator garments are designed to be worn on top of your outer garments. This is great when stopping to help prevent heat loss and rapid cooling.

Páramo clothing does not rely on hazardous PFC treatments for water repellency.

Working closely with Nikwax, we have developed a pioneering PFC-free treatment for our fleeces, waterproofs and windproofs. Recent studies show that PFC’s are persistent in the environment and are damaging to human health; which is why Nikwax waterproofing solutions are water-based, use no harmful solvents or propellant gases, contain no damaging PFC’s and are not tested on animals.

All Páramo garments are covered by our Recycling Scheme, which prevents them from ending up in landfill.

For every item of Páramo clothing you recycle with us, you will receive a voucher of (up to) £50, to use against a future purchase. Click here to find out more about recycling your Páramo...
