Waterproof Fabric

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 vapour.

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.

Size Charts

Paramo uses flat garment measurements, not body measurements. Please review the sizing information below to find the correct size. You will need to allow for around 5cm room for layering and movement, depending on your preferences.

Sizing advice for the Velez Smock: This is an A-line shape and is great for people who have a bigger tummy or hips, especially if you have a much bigger hip than bust. However, it is a shape that will work for most people because of the cinching drawcord around the hem.
