THE PÁRAMO LIFE CYCLE

It’s easy to renew the water repellency on Páramo waterproofs.
Always wash Paramo waterproof garments with Nikwax Tech Wash® to remove dirt and revive the water-repellency.

If, even after washing, the garment outer absorbs water, it is time to re-waterproof with Nikwax TX.Direct®. If your garment gets very dirty, for example with tar or oil, you can have it dry cleaned. It will then need to be washed with Tech Wash and re-waterproofed with TX.Direct.

Nikwax Tech Wash and TX.Direct are market leading products. They have been specifically designed and optimized for breathable waterproof fabrics. Application in a washing machine is quick, easy, and ensures that the whole garment is thoroughly cleaned and waterproofed.

What if I damage my Páramo clothing?
Simple repairs can often be done with a needle and thread without compromising the performance of your Páramo gear.

If you seriously damage a garment, you can send it back to Páramo and request a quote for having it mended – most damage can be repaired! Our Customer Service team can advise you. Turnaround times are generally 4-6 weeks for more serious repairs.

If you have irreparably damaged it, please consider recycling it through the Páramo Re-Store Adventure Program, and receive a discount off your next purchase!

If you no longer need your Páramo garment we’ll take it back!
The Páramo Re-Store Adventure Program is our way of providing a safe route for disposal of unwanted garments. We’ll take back any Páramo product (except underwear), and either find it a new home, or recycle it into new fabric. As a reward for your effort in getting old gear back to us, you can expect a generous discount on new Páramo products.
