WOMEN'S TORRES ACTIVO JACKET

The Torres Activo provides highly packable extra warmth for fast and light activities such as alpinism or snow sports, camping or cold days on the trail.

Such activities involve both exertion and resting in cold conditions. To remain comfortable, you need a jacket that can insulate you from the cold without causing you to overheat.

The synthetic 60g fill offers light insulation even in wet weather while not compromising movement or causing overheating. The jacket packs in its own pocket to be quickly accessible. The carefully tailored design allows free movement without excess fabric.

The Torres Activo Jacket is styled for freedom of movement, with mountain-friendly features and is eminently packable:

• Careful design including clever spiral-cut sleeves ensures full movement whether the Activo is worn as a stand-alone jacket or layered over an Analogy Waterproof.
• The insulated ‘halo’ adjust peaked hood will accommodate a low profile helmet and ensures uninterrupted vision, while the harness-friendly handwarming pockets are zipped for security while active.
• The internal map pocket doubles as a stuff pocket for easy transportation.

Nikwax Analogy Insulator’s synthetic fill provides very effective warming even in wet conditions.

The Insulator combines Nikwax Windproof closely woven microfibre outer with a synthetic, water-resistant fill to cut windchill and provide excellent insulation for overlayering with other Nikwax fabrics. It retains body heat very effectively to warm the body quickly and deflects the rain while providing excellent moisture vapour transfer. It packs down small, giving a high warmth to weight ratio. The fill gives a down-like feel and performance with the benefit of still working well when wet. It can be compressed in a pack without damage and washed in a home washing machine.

From Autumn 2020, all our synthetic fill features 100% recycled content.

How will my Páramo^® Analogy Insulator outperform other insulation?

Páramo’s Torres Insulation is very practical. Unlike down fill, the synthetic insulator fill works just as well in the wet, can be compressed in a pack and washed in a washing machine. The excellent water-repellency can be renewed with Nikwax aftercare. The down-like feel and performance provides an excellent warmth to weight ratio, which packs down small but retains body heat very effectively for fast warmth whenever needed – without concern about getting it wet.

1. Athletic fit designed for freedom of movement with excellent articulation at shoulders and from innovative spiral-cut sleeves.
2. Insulated halo-adjust hood that can accommodate a low profile helmet, with single-hand pull for easy adjustment.

5. Adjustable hem drawcord to retain body heat and seal out spindrift with scooped tail to protect lower back.
6. Easy adjust hook and loop cuff closure allows precise adjustment.

What users say...

In what kind of weather conditions can I use my Torres Activo Jacket?

Your Torres Activo can be used throughout the year in cold or wet conditions if you need extra warmth but wish to remain active. The dense microfibre outer and synthetic fill copes with high winds and driven rain. The insulation will not be damaged by moisture. It can be used over any other kit when insulation or protection is needed. In extreme cold or if you will be stationary for long periods, we recommend the greater insulation of the Torres Medio Jacket. In less cold conditions or if you are very active and generating a lot of perspiration, you may find an Analogy Waterproof Jacket more comfortable.

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

Nikwax Insulator garments are sized to be put on quickly over your jacket, fleece or baselayer to provide rapid warming when you are stationary or in very cold conditions. They can equally be worm over a baselayer if required in less cold conditions. Worn over a Nikwax Analogy Waterproof they will not inhibit its directionality, so perspiration or condensation will continue to be moved away from you. They can also be worn over wet garments without any loss of performance.

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.
