The Toughest

“A best buy 4 years
ago. It still deserves
that status.” TGO Magazine
Over 5½ days, the Páramo-supported
team of Nicola MacLeod, Bruce Duncan,
Andy Wilson and Mark Humphrey
mountain-biked, trekked and kayaked
over 600km of the world’s toughest
terrain to successfully defend their title in
the ‘Toughest Adventure Race on Earth’,
the Wenger Patagonian Expedition Race.
Finishing almost a day ahead of their
nearest rivals, the race organisers were
trying to get everything in place before
the team arrived, something that didn’t
always happen!
The Chilean event traversed the full length
of Tierra Del Fuego. Crossing 300km of
desolate plains into a monster headwind,
the team then faced almost 120km of the
Darwin Range on foot, a huge 2½ day trek
across one of the biggest mountain ranges
in the southern hemisphere. Kayaking
across the Beagle Channel to Isla
Navarino, they finished in Puerto Williams,
the most southerly town in the world.
Adventure racing is a tough sport, and
having the right equipment to get through
the race is vital. The team took specialist
Páramo on the long trek – a sturdier
waterproof than we’d normally carry, but
in this race weight isn’t the biggest factor,
When you want warm,
Directional legwear to
wear alone or as extra
insulation, the Stretch
Pants are ideal. Designed
for ease of movement,
the fleecy inner directs
moisture away from
the skin to keep you
comfortable.
• Elasticated waist with
zip fly
• Zipped internal pocket.

the weather is. Wearing Páramo trousers
and jackets, the team stayed totally dry
throughout the trek, and incredibly warm
even in the sub-zero temperatures endured
at night on high mountain passes. The
vegetation is very sharp and spiky – last
year the team’s legs were shredded – but
with Páramo trousers even the worst
bushes were swept aside, leaving us with
pretty much unscathed legs.
The team attributed a lot of their success to
being kitted out with the best equipment
for the task, and Páramo was certainly
that. Team captain, Nicola, said ‘Keeping
warm and dry in the worst weather that
Patagonia could throw at us was vital for
team morale, enabling us to move at good
speed through the wilderness, something
many rivals couldn’t do.
Thanks Páramo for your
fantastic support, it
made our race so much
more comfortable and
pleasant, ensuring we
raced harder and faster
than all our rivals.”
