In reply to Frosty3006: It is noticeably heavier - twice the weight of a Goretex jacket - but warmer, although not as warm as a Goretex jacket plus thick fleece of same total weight. I find it a lot more comfortable because the material is soft.
Breathability is OK, but nothing like the marketing nonsense of the manufacturers. Basically sweat transfers from your base layer to inside face of the paramo which is soft and which absorbs the sweat. It then sort of goes through to the outside. Unless of course its raining when you have 100% humidity, or the map pocket which forms a barrier and fills with water. Who was the genius who thought of that!
The same genius who decided that only press studs should be used on paramos. The hood is great with a helmet but useless without.
Pockets are great - except the stupid map pocket.
Overall the comfort of the fabric wins out, and the fact that it will stand up to real abuse since you can easily repair it.
If they had put more effort into the design, or rather testing the thing, and spent more on better fittings, and not had such crude seams and excess material it would be brilliant.
So Paramo urgently needs to copy the design and quality of construction of a mainstream goretex jacket but keeping their materials.
The Aspira trousers I found just too heavy, crude and badly made to be acceptable.
To answer your specific question I take my Aspira to the Alps and Himalayas.
