Wicking and Warmth

Parameta S and Parameta X are Nikwax Directional fabrics that wick but also direct water to one face and capture still air in the other. They provide excellent next-to-skin layers, either worn alone or under a Directional outer.

Parameta S is reversible - water naturally concentrates in the smooth face of the fabric only:

Worn smooth face to the skin it cools you perfect if you're working hard or are hot;
With fleecy face next to the skin, air is trapped and water drawn away, so warming the body ideal in cooler conditions or when you are still.

Warmth and Waterproofing

Nikwax Analogy Fleece, like mammal fur, both repels rain and actively pushes water away from the body. All fleeces warm you by trapping still air between their fibres wet a conventional fleece, however, and it loses up to 95% of its insulation. Paramo fleece offers superior comfort especially in humid conditions.

Warmth, Windproofing and Waterproofing

Paramo Directional Waterproofs are made with Nikwax Analogy which mimics the action of mammal fur, directing water away from you whilst protecting your insulation to keep you warm and dry. Conventional breathable waterproofs can only cope with 20% of the sweat you produce, for real comfort you need Páramo Directional Waterproofs.

Insulation

The NEW Nikwax Analogy Insulator fabric combines a windproof outer with a moisture-repellent fill. It warms the body quickly by very efficient retention of body heat, while the down-like feel and performance continue to work well even when wet, resisting moisture ingress but still allowing excellent moisture vapour transfer.
