A packable and durable insulating gilet, perfect for overlayering, over your garments, to offer additional core warmth during or between activities outdoors.
The Torres Medio Gilet has a 100g synthetic fill for high warmth to weight ratio even when wet, and packs down small for easy stowing in your pack.
The Torres Medio Gilet provides fast core warmth in changeable conditions during all outdoor activities.
Physical exertion outdoors followed by periods of being stationary can lead to irregular body temperature, particularly in ever-changing climate conditions.
An overlayer allows you to benefit from the 100g synthetic fill, even in wet weather, without needing to remove any garments. The clever design ensures minimal space while in a pack yet delivers a high warmth to weight ratio when worn.
The Torres Medio Gilet can be worn over a baselayer or an outer layer to warm you quickly. It packs down small and has zipped pockets for secure storage.

Detailed Benefits
Choose the Torres Medio Gilet for its packability, practicality and fast warmth even in the wet...
The Torres Medio Gilet uses soft, quiet Nikwax® Analogy® Insulator fabric and has a synthetic fill throughout, including in the collar and handwarming pockets. It offers an excellent warmth to weight ratio, even in the wet, and is designed to be worn over a baselayer or an outerlayer. The ability to stow the gilet into its own pocket ensures it can always be on hand for when the weather turns.
Expect fast core warmth that is easy to carry and allows your directional clothing system to work in all conditions.
How will my Páramo® Analogy Insulator outperform other insulation?
Páramo’s Torres Insulation is very practical. Unlike down fill, the synthetic insulator fill works just as well in the wet, can be compressed in a pack and washed in a washing machine. The excellent water-repellency can be renewed with Nikwax aftercare. The down-like feel and performance provides an excellent warmth to weight ratio, which packs down small but retains body heat very effectively for fast warmth whenever needed – without concern about getting it wet.
Weather Conditions
In what kind of weather conditions can I use my Torres Medio Gilet?
Your Torres Medio Gilet can be used throughout the year in cold or wet weather, or when you need to keep warm. The dense microfibre outer and the synthetic fill can cope with poor conditions and the insulation will not be affected if it gets wet.
It can be put on over any other kit when insulation is needed, however is not suitable for activities in warm conditions.
In really cold weather you may prefer the higher insulation and more complete coverage of the Torres Alturo Jacket
