Does this shit work or not?

I went into the Paramo shop today to take a closer look at build quality and to a lesser extent, the weight and I found myself wanting to get one to try. Thing is they're fucking expensive so I left before the lure got too strong to resist.

The shop assistant seemed quite frank about the whole thing. He said it works best on people who move a lot and run warm to hot, which is absolutely me. He said if you're a slow walker who has to wear a lot of layers then it's probably not going to keep you as dry as it could, which I appreciated.

The local mountain rescue all use Paramo and swear by it. But I've never seen any brand get so many mixed reviews with no grey areas. It's either "I've used paramo for 15 years and never gotten wet" or "I got wet every time I went in the rain with my Paramo"

What gives?

Nikwax paramo jackets are amazing. Far better than goretex, have been totally soaked on the outside and still dry on the inside. Rips? Sew it back up, still works.

Do you expect to be mostly dry using paramo? What about being in sustained heavy rain all day?

My goretex will prevent me from becoming soaked even if I do end up somewhat damp from sweat.
