Why the Velez Adventure Smock stands out
Unlike many jackets that rely solely on membranes, the Velez Smock uses Nikwax® Analogy® Waterproof fabric, a directional system that moves moisture away from your body. This innovative technology provides:
- Reliable waterproofing during heavy rain, spray, and stormy conditions.
- Moisture management from special Pump Liner, which prevents sweat build up and wet chill no matter how hard you’re working.
- Breathability, so you stay dry inside without feeling clammy.
Tested in environments like the Leeds University Rain Room, the smock has proven its ability to withstand extreme weather – heavier than typical UK storms.
Design features for active outdoor adventures
The Velez Adventure Smock is built with real-world outdoor performance in mind:
- Adjustable, helmet-compatible wired hood – protects your head and face while maintaining visibility and rolls neatly into the collar when not needed.
- Twin front zips for ventilation – allows airflow even with a backpack, keeping you comfortable on long treks.
- Upper arm vents – for fast, on the move temperature control.
- Enhanced pocketing – internal and external storage keeps essentials secure and dry.
- Reinforced shoulders and back panels – for comfort under a loaded pack.
- Articulated elbows and shoulders – for ease of movement when cycling, climbing or skiing.
- Cropped front and dropped tail with adjustable hem – for mobility and lower back coverage.
- Reflective flashes on hood, cuffs and seams – for visibility in low light.
These features make the smock versatile for everything from fast hikes and mountain biking to wet-weather climbing.
Perfect for every adventure
The Velez Adventure Smock is designed for those who value freedom and comfort in unpredictable weather. Its lightweight yet durable construction reduces the need for multiple layers, helping you move faster and stay dry.
