Selected Cycle Gear Review
Paramo Velez SmockOctober 12, 2009 - 11:17 — tomcooperAlthough not a specialist cycling top, this has become my shell of choice for touring in Ireland. It is slightly warmer than a conventional cycling jacket - but this is rarely a problem in Ireland where cold & wet is more likely than warm and wet. It wicks moisture away brilliantly. And if you get too warm, the side zips wil let the cool air in without getting you too damp.

Selected Camping Review
Thermarest Trail Lite and Prolite 3August 12, 2008 - 21:15 — tomcooperThermarests are expensive but the comfort and warmth is streets ahead of a cheap closed-cell foam mat. I have been using a Trail Lite for a number of years (it was called something else when I bought it) and recently bought a Prolite as a friend was joining me on a trip.

My paramour, Paramo
Anyone who has looked at the reviews on this site or read my book will know I love Paramo. Just for the record this is all stuff I have paid for myself – the dream of being showered in freebies by publicity seeking companes is alas that, a dream.
But I have managed to get a write up into the Paramo Travel and Trek catalogue. So if that sells ahem, several hundred books, I might be able to afford a new jacket or at least replace the towel I left at Belfast City Youth Hostel.
