Mens Velez Adventure Smock

The Men’s Velez Adventure Smock is for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy high energy activities in a variety of temperatures.

If you enjoy activities such as hiking, cycling, climbing, or snow sports you need the versatile men’s Velez Adventure Smock jacket that keeps you dry during activity and stops you from overheating.

The Velez Adventure Smock provides robust and reliable protection from the elements, removes perspiration, and manages your temperature in a broad spectrum of activities.

Choose the Velez Adventure Smock for weather protection, sweat management and temperature control combined with optimum functionality.

Nikwax Analogy Pump Liner mimics the action of animal fur – pushing liquid water outwards to protect you from rain, condensation and perspiration, whilst protecting your insulation. This is combined with a Directional microfiber outer to deflect wind and rain.

Excellent venting capabilities allow use of the smock across a range of operating temperatures, conditions and activities, even whilst wearing a rucksack.

Practical features, including a fully adjustable stowable hood, well-placed reflective flashes, and double layer lining at the lower and upper back and shoulders, ensure further protection and comfort – from backpacking to snow sports.

Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric is more than just breathable, it is directional.

This means it is capable of moving liquid water away from your body and not just water vapor.

It is essential to avoid a build-up of water in your clothing system when you are working hard, as too much retained moisture will lead to your body rapidly chilling when you stop and rest.

In conventional clothing systems, approximately 20% of sweat production is dealt with effectively, leaving the remaining 80% trapped inside.

Nikwax Analogy garments are unique, in that they pump out this 80% of liquid water and allow it to drain away; you are left feeling dry and comfortable.

How will your Páramo^® garment outperform breathable membranes?

Nikwax Analogy fabrics are not only extremely breathable, they are directional too. This means that water, both liquid and vapor, is directed outwards, ensuring your insulation remains protected.

Although breathable membranes allow moisture vapor to pass through them, they do nothing to transport liquid water. Therefore, when the production of sweat exceeds the Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate, or when the external temperatures drop, condensation (the change of water from vapor to liquid) will build up in breathable membranes.

Nikwax Analogy is so durable you could puncture a Páramo waterproof with pins, remove them, and still stay dry in the rain! Unlike coated or membrane-based garments, our directional clothing can be easily repaired, without compromising future performance.

In what kind of weather conditions can I use my Velez Evolution?

Your Velez Evolution Jacket has passed the Leeds University Rainroom Test, so you can wear it with confidence in heavy rain or in cold conditions throughout the year. Because the fabric system offers significant insulation, this is not the best garment to deal with heavy showers in very hot conditions.

Great for trekking, mountaineering, ice climbing, and snowsports.

How do I care for my Páramo waterproof?

Regularly wash it with Nikwax Tech Wash^® to remove dirt and revive its water repellency. If, after washing, the outer fabric absorbs water (it does not run off in beads) it is time to reproof your garment with Nikwax TX.Direct^®.

What if I damage my Nikwax Analogy Waterproof clothing?

Simple repairs can often be done with a needle and thread without compromising the performance of your Páramo gear.

If you seriously damage a garment, you can send it back to Páramo and request a quote for having it mended – most damage can be repaired! Our Customer Service team can advise you.
