Nikwax Windproof

What it does:

Nikwax Windproof uses a closely woven microfibre fabric which cuts wind chill and protects your insulation but still allows the movement of moisture away from the body. It can be treated with Nikwax durable water-repellency to deflect the rain.

Key benefits:

• Prevents windchill, to keep you warm.
• Easily treated and re-treated with Nikwax Aftercare products to keep you dry too.
• Excellent moisture vapour transfer or breathability minimises condensation.
• Extremely resilient and durable fabric, it won't degrade in UV light
• Folds or compresses without any damage making it ideal to carry

How it works:

1. Skin surface
2. Parameta S is shown here worn next to the skin drawing water away to keep you dry
3. Nikwax Windproof's closely woven microfibre provides wind proofing and Nikwax durable water-repellency.
4. Wind is deflected away from the body, while perspiration as water vapour can escape. If treated with Nikwax Waterproofing products it can also provide durable and renewable water-repellency.

Nikwax Analogy Fleece

What it does:

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

Key benefits:

• Two layer construction traps still air giving superior insulation to keep you warm.
• Outer layer provides Directional water-repellency while the Pump Liner actively pushes liquid moisture away from the body keeping you dry from precipitation, perspiration and condensation.
• Continues to work just as effectively even in high humidity or very cold conditions.
• Water-repellency can be easily renewed for the lifetime of the garment with Nikwax Aftercare.
• The fabric is soft, flexible and hard-wearing.

How it works:

1. Skin surface
2. Parameta S is shown here worn next to the skin, drawing water away to keep you dry.
3. Nikwax Analogy Pump Liner pumps water away from the body.
4. Nikwax Fleece outer fabric allows air to be trapped between Pump Liner and outer to give insulation.
5. Outer fabric is treated to give Directional water-repellency, deflecting water away from the body.

Nikwax Fleece can be combined with Nikwax Windproof to provide a fully Directional waterproof and windproof system.

Nikwax Analogy Waterproof

What it does:

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

Key benefits:

• Two layer construction traps still air giving superior insulation to keep you warm.
• Outer layer provides Directional water-repellency while the Pump Liner actively pushes liquid moisture away from the body keeping you dry from precipitation, perspiration and condensation.
• Continues to work just as effectively even in high humidity or very cold conditions.
• Water-repellency can be easily renewed for the lifetime of the garment with Nikwax Aftercare.
• The fabric is soft, strong, silent and durable.

How it works:

1. Skin surface
2. Parameta S is shown here worn next to the skin, drawing water away to keep you dry.
3. Nikwax Analogy Pump Liner pumps water away from the body.
4. Closely woven microfibre outer provides windproofing and Nikwax durable water-repellency. Air is trapped between Pump Liner and outer to give insulation.
5. Wind and rain is deflected away from the body while perspiration and condensation as liquid water or water vapour can escape.

Nikwax Analogy Insulator

What it does:

Nikwax Analogy Insulator combines Nikwax Windproof closely woven microfibre outer with Nikwax synthetic, water-resistant fill to cut windchill and provide excellent insulation for overlayering with other Nikwax fabrics. It retains body heat very effectively to warm the body quickly and deflects the rain while providing excellent moisture vapour transfer. It packs down small, giving a high warmth to weight ratio. The fill gives a down-like feel and performance with the benefit of still working well when wet.

Key benefits:

• Very efficient retention of body heat to warm you quickly
• Cuts windchill and provides excellent block insulation
• Down-like feel and performance continues to work when wet
• Packs down small with a high warmth-to-weight ratio
• Deflects the rain while allowing excellent moisture vapour transfer to minimise condensation
• Can be treated with Nikwax TX Direct to give renewable waterproof performance
• Very durable outer to endure regular use in all conditions

How it works:

1. Skin surface.
2. Parameta S is shown here worn next to the skin, drawing water away to keep you dry.
3. Nikwax Insulator fill retains body heat to warm the body quickly.
4. Nikwax Windproof's closely woven microfibre provides windproofing and deflects the rain.
5. Nikwax Analogy Insulator provides excellent heat retention while allowing moisture vapour transfer and directing water away from the body.
