I bought myself a Paramo Enduro jacket and trousers last winter. I've not used them that much, which in itself might tell you something, and did swither about selling the jacket, but decided to hang onto it in the end and give it another try this winter. At this stage, I'm very much undecided about it.
My impressions so far; much better cut than previous Paramo kit I've had - jacket is a neat, shaped fit around the waist and chest, still find the sleeves a bit flappy, but understand the rationale for that in terms of being able to push the sleeves up for venting. It feels very heavy when you put it on - I'm more aware of it than when I'm wearing a soft-shell and goretex combo. It's comfortable to wear, feels less clammy when you're getting hot and sweaty on the uphill, and temperature is bearable with pit zips open, sleeves pushed up, main zip down a bit and the chest pockets open. Obviously temperature control is a very subjective thing, and varies significantly from person to person - I tend to run pretty hot when I'm working hard going uphill. I've been a bit disappointed with the wind proofing - I tend to wear it with a mid-weight Arcteryx base layer, and I can feel even moderate winds through it, especially round the back, where there's a panel of lighter weight liner. I have, on occasion, found myself adding a goretex shell over it to enhance the wind proofing - you could probably do the same with a Paramo windproof which would be a lighter option.
Enduro Trousers - I love them. The only niggle I have is that the low waistband isn't that comfy if you have a bit of a belly on you, and mine are currently down at Paramo HQ getting a low bib fitted to the front. Apart from that, they've been great - comfortable on the move, warm when you're stopped. They dry quickly if they do get wet - mine got soaked last winter digging a snow hole, but by the time I'd melted snow for a brew, they had dried off nicely, and they're very comfortable to sleep in (as is the jacket), which makes life very easy if you're out for a multi day trip. If I lost them, the only thing that might stop me from buying another pair is the release of the new Cascada which looks to be a similar cut, but about £100 cheaper!
