Overview

COMBINATION OFFER

SAVE £15 when you purchase a Ventura Windproof with a Ventura Fleece or Ventura Plus Fleece to create a Duology System.

Use code: VENTURACOMBO at the checkout.

The Ventura Plus Fleece is for outdoor people who need soft, comfortable, weatherproof protection in harsh conditions.

If you enjoy mountaineering, climbing, and winter expeditions, a breathable, warm and highly water repellent fleece is key to adapting your clothing system in mixed conditions. Combine with the Ventura Windproof for waterproof protection in very wet and windy weather.

Worn over a baselayer, the fleece offers excellent protection in cooler, wet weather and can be combined with a Duology Windproof when it is extremely wet and windy, to form an adaptable waterproof system. It can also be worn as a midlayer under a Nikwax® Analogy® waterproof jacket for extra insulation.

 

The Ventura Plus Fleece offers a high level of water repellency, has generous pocketing, and a design that combines with the Ventura Windproof.

  • The thick pile directional fabric, with a Nikwax Durable Water Repellent finish ensures excellent insulation and wet weather protection.
  • Storage from one large, zipped pocket high on the chest, and from two lower zipped pockets that can also be used for handwarming.
  • A simple, adjustable hood fits well under a helmet for extra warmth and comfort

In what weather conditions can I use my Ventura Plus Duology Fleece?

Used alone, the thick pile Ventura Plus Fleece provides protection against wind and rain in wet weather. It can also be used as a midlayer under a Nikwax Analogy waterproof jacket.

In deteriorating weather, combine with a Ventura Windproof for additional protection. In milder weather, the lighter Ventura Fleece is a suitable alternative.

The Ventura Plus Duology combination has been tested in the Leeds University Rain Room to resist at least four hours of heavy rain, which is approximately five times the intensity of normal heavy rain in the UK

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.
