Paramo Velez Adventure Light Review O100 Snowdonia 416

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.
