Walking/Hiking Answers: Paramo Alta II

Got an answer to the following question?

Paramo Alta Ii

Having read and agreed with all of the discussions about the benefits of Paramo Waterproofs (zero condensation, infinite re-proofing, rustle free etc) just thought I'd add one more!

Ten years ago I accidently set fire to the arm of my Alta jacket (don't ask - good malt, freezing weather in Torridon - it happens!).

Fortunately the resulting hole wasn't wide - about (2cm by 10cm). I stitched it up as neatly as I could, and ten years later I'm still wearing it and its never leaked (though the arm is a bit more 'articulated' than Paramo ever envisaged!).

Try filling a Goretex full of stitch holes and see what happens. Only trouble is, I'm fed up with the colour of the jacket and want a new Alta II, but every time I proof it its like new, so I'm loathe to replace it!
