Owners of a Llangollen clothing and outdoor equipment shop reckon they now offer the largest selection of a top brand in two regions - and have opened extra premises to house it.

Its new shop next door to ProAdventure in Castle Street has also allowed the business to create another job.

Paramo is a British brand, which is Fairtrade, PFC free and popular with walkers, mountaineers and mountain rescue teams across the UK.

And ProAdventure's Pete and Lesley Carol believe they now offer the biggest Paramo Waterproof selection in North East Wales and the Marches.

They said: "We have more than doubled our Paramo clothing range and provided it with its own shop next door to our main Llangollen shop.

"The new shop has also enabled us to create another local job, paid at the Real Living Wage rate.

"Paramo use a pump liner, rather than a membrane of forever chemicals. The DWR, durable water repellency is PFC. Paramo waterproofs are fully repairable and just last and last."

The couple added: “We have been proud to sell Paramo clothing for many years, an effective clothing system for the Walker and Mountaineer in UK conditions. All our staff use and appreciate Paramo clothing in their adventures.

"We take time to make sure your new boots fit you before leaving our shop, checking your foot size and matching it to your boots and making sure the fit is right for you.

"We stock standard and wide fit boots and shoes from Meindl of Germany, Oboz from Bozeman Ohio and Grisport of Italy, along with insoles from Superfeet and Grangers, Socks from UK Brands Bridgedale and Horizon plus footwear care from Oboz, Nikwax, Grangers and Meindl. All Oboz boots come with a Free care kit while stocks last."
