Nikwax Analogy®
Nikwax Analogy® got its name because of the way it mimics animal fur in providing both insulation and water-shedding which works in all conditions. Liner pushes liquid outwards to keep you warm and dry inside. Not only does this give superior waterproof protection from the elements while both Soft Shell and conventional waterproof breathable fabrics can only cope with around 20% of the sweat you produce when working hard,
Nikwax Directionality will pump away all of it.

The special characteristics of Nikwax Analogy result in significant advantages over conventional waterproofs and Soft Shell

   + Warmth providing warmth as well as waterproofing allows you to leave some of your insulation layers at home.
   + Works as effectively in all conditions Both conventional waterproofs and Soft Shell fail in conditions of high humidity, while Nikwax Analogy® continues to pump water away whatever the weather.
   + Soft but very strong fabrics because Nikwax Analogy doesn't need coatings or laminates to work, the fabrics are much softer and more flexible but just as strong and tough.
   + Silent Nikwax Analogy® is rustle-free, a pleasure to walk in or with.
   + Not compromised by puncture You could fill a Directional Waterproof garment with pins, take them out, wear the garment in the rain and still stay dry! Puncture of the outer or inner fabric will not lead to leakage.
   + Renewable The performance of Directional Waterproofs can be indefinitely renewed by caring for them with Nikwax products, while conventional membranes can eventually crack and cannot then be repaired.

* Unique Nikwax Directional Fabrics
All Paramo garments use innovative fabrics engineered by sister company Nikwax designed to actively Direct water (liquid water as well as water vapour) to where you need it to keep you comfortable. This goes from our reversible, next-to-the-skin base layers to the outer weatherproof protection of Nikiwax Analogy.

* On the Hill Design
All Paramo designs originate and are refined by our design team based in the Lake District. They are tested extensively in our labs and by our team of highly critical gear testers, as well as undergoing the Leeds University Rain Room Tests for waterproofs. Through-to-skin ventilation sited for maximum impact, pockets in the sizes, shapes and places to be most useful, adjustable hoods and cuffs plus excellent articulation for unrestricted movement.

* Chosen by Outdoor Professionals
Rescue Teams and Outdoor Instructors and guides were among Paramos earliest converts. Paramo can be sure that all outdoor enthusiasts benefit from fabric and garment improvements.

Paramo gear is selected for its comfort and safety on the hills by such organisations as the National Search & Rescue Dog Association (SARDA), the Countryside Council of Wales and the National Trust for Scotland.

*A lifetime guarantee
With Paramo, there's the guarantee of performance and comfort that will last. There's no laminate or coatings to break down in your garment instead the simplicity of aftercare with Nikwax products to maintain the waterproof performance of your garment indefinitely. The performance of garments using Nikwax Fabrics and Fabric Combinations can be maintained indefinitely by applying Nikwax Garment Aftercare products according to the manufacturer's instructions.

*Ethical production
Paramo's production facility established in 1992 in Bogota, Colombia is part of a valuable social program with the Miquelina Foundation to provide employment and skills to at risk women seeking an improvement in their lives.

Fabric Parameta® T Working Function:



The latest Directional fabric, the new reversible Parameta® T is amazingly lightweight and stretchy, and offers the choice of two levels of cooling. It is an asymmetrical, wicking fabric that directs water from one face to the other as well as rapidly spreading moisture to speed up evaporation and cooling.

Key benefits:
+Extremely light-weight and fine fabric that feels good against the skin.
+Constructed with two different faces to offer you two different levels of cooling two garments for the price and weight of one.
+Moisture spreads really rapidly and evaporates very quickly for maximum effect and so also reduces pooling of perspiration.
+Very quick and easy to wash and dry making it perfect for travel.

Diagram 1
♦ In hot conditions,especially when you are working hard and/ or feel hot
By wearing the fabric's smooth water - attracting face next to your skin,water is keptclose to your skin. It wicks and evaporates rapidaly to cool you down most effectively - offering you maximim comfort during maximum perspiration.

Diagram 2
♦ When you need a lower level of cooling - in cooler conditions or if you feel cool
By wearing the fabric's honeycomb air- containing face next to your skin,water is Directed and held away from your skin, giving a feel of dryness and offering a lesser level of cooling, but still providing effective evaporation of excess water. Water is directed away and held away from your skin, but effective evaporation of excess water is still able to occur.

Fabric Parameta® S Working Function:



Parameta® S is a reversible, asymmetrical, wicking fabric that directs water to one face and captures still air in the other, so it can be used to cool you down or warm you up as you choose, in response to the temperature, your level of activity and your own physiology.

Key benefits:
+Specially constructed fabric so that water concentrates naturally in one face of the fabric only the smooth face. As a result, it can provide +protection from wind-blown mist and drizzle and recovers fast from immersion. +Offers excellent temperature control and comfort activity levels depending on the way out you wear it. You need only one garment to fulfil the role of two offering money and less to carry or wear.

Diagram 1
♦ Working hard or are hot you need to wear smooth face of the fabric next to your skin, which holds water close to your skin to evaporate and so keep you cool.
Smooth, water-attracting face of the fabric worn next to the skin holds water next to the skin to cool the body Fleecy face of Parameta® S

Diagram 2
♦ In colder conditions or keeping still you need to wear the fleecy face of the fabric next to your skin to trap still air and keep you warm:
Fleecy face of the reversible fabric worn next to the skin captures air between fabric and skin, and pushes water away from the skin, in order to warm the body Water-attracting face of Parameta® S draws water to the outer layer away from the skin.

Fabric Parameta® A Working Function:



Parameta® A is a Directional polyester fabric that wicks very effectively, rapidly spreading perspiration over a large area to provide maximum evaporation to keep you cool at higher temperatures. It also blocks out virtually all damaging UV rays.
Key benefits:

+Lightweight and comfortable you hardly know youre wearing it.
+Exceptional UV protection
+Wind resistant
+Insect resistant because of dense weave
+Antibacterial finish for freshness
+Maximum evaporation and cooling through spread of perspiration over a large area
+Rapid drying eliminating cold spots after exercise by reducing pooling of perspiration

Key benefits:

Provides:
+excellent comfort and freedom of movement through stretchiness.
+Protects your insulation by trapping air between fabric and skin.

Keeps you:
+comfortable by wicking away perspiration and reducing pooling of perspiration

Diagram 1
♦ Parameta® X fabric draws water away from the skin to keep you dry, allowing air to be captured between fabric and skin to warm the body.

The Rain Room at Leeds University Textile Department (UK) was especially built and donated by Nikwax to enable the realistic and independent assessment of outdoor fabrics as garments.

The process of testing is as follows:
* Mannequins are clothed in fleece cotton tracksuits and balaclavas. These are *absorbent but do not wick easily, which aids detection of water movement. *Test garments made with Nikwax Analogy® fabrics are placed over the top. The clothed mannequin is positioned under the shower tester with one arm pointing forward and the other slightly downward to mimic a walking position. The mannequin revolves six times per minute, for up to four hours. Heavy rain is simulated - with a range of drop diameters at an intensity of 28-32mm per hour some 10 times the intensity of normal heavy rain in the UK).
