This means that water both liquid and vapour is directed outwards ensuring your insulation remains protected.Although breathable membranes allow moisture vapour to pass through them they do nothing to transport liquid water. Therefore when the production of sweat exceeds the Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate or when the external temperatures drop condensation (the change of water from vapour to liquid) will build up in breathable membranes.Nikwax Analogy is so durable you could puncture a P&225;ramo 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.Which garments should I wear with my Nikwax Analogy Waterproof for optimum performance?We recommend using our Parameta&174; T+ Parameta T or Parameta G baselayers underneath your Nikwax Analogy clothing.The Parameta T+ is a reversible lightweight and stretchy polyester fabric which offers two levels of cooling. It is asymmetrical and wicking directing water from one fabric face to the other as well as rapidly spreading moisture to speed up evaporation and therefore cooling.Parameta T is a lightweight and stretchy polyester fabric. It wicks effectively to spread perspiration and dry quickly providing light insulation in cooler conditions. Its soft feel is very comfortable against the skin even when worn for prolonged periods.Parameta G directional polyester fabric can provide either cooling or insulation as needed. Its raised grid pattern traps air for insulation when covered with another layer. However worn alone or exposed through a garment vent it allows air to pass through it and cool you down.In extremely cold conditions our Nikwax Analogy Insulator garments can be worn over your waterproof clothing. This is useful when stopping or setting up camp at the end of the day.In what kind of weather conditions can I use my Velez Adventure Smock?The Velez Adventure Smock has been rigorously 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.Because the fabric system offers significant insulation when the ventilation zips are closed this is not the best garment to use in warm conditions. In that case we would recommend a Nikwax&174; Windproof combined with a Parameta&174; T+ baselayer for optimum breathability and cooling. For full weather protection swap the baselayer for a Nikwax Fleece.
