Winter rambles and hill walks in the women’s Paramo Katla Shirt

Rambling, backpacking and hill walking give us the exposure to the outdoors we desperately need during the winter months, when the days are short and we’re at the mercy of the British weather.

Outdoor conditions are becoming less predictable, though, and our choice of outdoor clothing needs wider consideration to ensure we get maximum enjoyment out of our time pounding hills and dales.

As the line between outdoor activity clothing and urban fashion becomes more blurred, many walkers are looking for stylish alternatives to the usual base layer and fleece combo when rambling, hill walking and backpacking. This has led to hiking shirts becoming more popular.

But hiking shirts offer more than a fashion preference. A good quality, beautifully designed hiking shirt is often a choice of substance as much as style, thanks to its moisture-wicking performance and other versatile features.

Paramo have this all sewn up – if you’ll excuse the pun – with the Katla shirt for women.

The Paramo Katla Shirt for women

Intended for low-level hill walking, backpacking, hiking and rambling, the Paramo Katla shirt is designed to provide exceptional moisture-wicking performance. For you, this means consistent comfort whether you are walking at a slower pace or navigating challenging inclines. When you slow down after a period of activity you won’t feel the chill from trapped sweat.

The design of the Paramo Katla Shirt for women

The women-specific tailored fit of the Paramo Katla shirt covers both bases of style and practicality.

To provide highly effective and adjustable weather protection, the Paramo Katla shirt has a traditional, high-fastening collar, cuffs with button and placket closures, and a scooped back.

The long articulated sleeves facilitate unrestricted movement, and can be easily rolled up when a little ventilation is needed. The flat shoulder seams minimise chafing when carrying a rucksack, and the tailored back-waist darts create an elegant, comfortable fit.

Two secure chest pockets allow for essentials to be easily accessible, and an internal fleece patch on the left hem serves as a handy, built-in lens cleaner for glasses and optics.

The Paramo Katla shirt is made from 100% polyester Parameta A fabric.

Parameta A fabrics are designed for highly effective wicking by spreading sweat over a large area to reduce pooling of perspiration and maximise evaporation. The fabric then dries very quickly to eliminate cold spots after exercising. This technology keeps you cool in warm temperatures, or during and after exercising, and comfortably warm in cooler environments.

The Paramo Katla shirt is wind resistant, lightweight and comfortable, and the fabric offers exceptional UV protection, equivalent to SPF 50+. Its dense-weave construction is highly resistant to snagging and pilling.
