In what weather conditions can I use my Velez Windproof?
Your Velez Windproof can be used throughout the year in cold or changeable weather conditions.
If further protection is required, it can be combined with the Velez Grid baselayer/midlayer to form the Velez System.
The Velez Windproof is not recommended for use in heavy rain. In that case we would recommend one of our Nikwax Analogy Waterproof Jackets.
Which garments should I wear with my Velez Windproof for optimum performance?
We recommend using our Velez Grid with your Velez Windproof to form the Velez System.
Made from Parameta G fabric with zoned mesh Pump Liner for instant temperature regulation and sweat management, the Velez Grid is designed to be worn as a baselayer or mid-layer during running, cycling, mountain biking and hill walking activities in cold or changeable weather conditions.

Páramo clothing does not rely on hazardous fluorocarbon (PFC) treatments for water-repellency.
Working closely with Nikwax®, Páramo have pioneered a treatment process for waterproofs, fleeces and windproofs which enables us to take untreated fabrics and add Nikwax waterproofing, not reliant on fluorocarbons to repel water. Studies show that fluorocarbons of all kinds persist in the environment and are damaging to human health. Nikwax waterproofing solutions are water-based and use no harmful solvents or propellant gases, are not tested on animals, not harmful to humans, and contain no damaging fluorocarbons.
