Wind resistance refers to how well your garment blocks the wind—an essential feature in cold or exposed environments where windchill can rapidly increase heat loss. In membrane waterproofs, greater wind protection usually reduces breathability, however, Nikwax Analogy doesn’t rely on breathability alone – it actively moves liquid water away from your body, keeping you dry even when humidity is high or airflow is reduced.
Durability 5/5
The more durable a garment is, the better its abrasion resistance, making it less likely to be damaged by rocks or sharp tools. The trade-off is that added durability canmeans extra weight and reduced packability, which may not be ideal if you’re aiming to travel fast and light.
Moisture Movement 5/5
Thanks to Páramo’s unique Nikwax Analogy system, our garments actively move moisture away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable even during intense activity. The trade-off is that maximum moisture control can reduce insulation, so choosing the right layer helps you balance dryness with warmth in different conditions.
Ventilation 2/5
Páramo garments are designed with practical ventilation options, such as zips and adjustable openings, allowing you to release excess heat and moisture quickly. This makes it easier to regulate your temperature on the move, without the need to change layers.
