We combined fabric construction and water-repellency in a textile to provide exactly the same effect. I tried the system trekking with my wife high up in the wet country in the Colombian Andes - the P ramo. You can rely on wind and rain there. The clothing that we threw together worked brilliantly. So began P ramo.
Clothing is much more than mere fabrics.
P ramo has developed its own identity with the help of Greg Care, a highly experienced mountain leader. His practical designs optimise my concepts. Now the aim is to share with others the freedom offered by P ramo. Greg's hard headed philosophy towards comfort and safety is reflected in his unique garment designs for P ramo. When Nick Brown first interested me in his unconventional ideas, as a hard bitten mountaineer, I was sceptical about the way the system would manage water.
