Páramo Velez Adventure Smock Men’s Medium – Nikwax Analogy Waterproof – Red
Excellent example of the highly regarded Páramo Velez Adventure Smock, men’s size Medium, in red.
Excellent condition.
I’m only selling this because I’ve bought the same smock in a larger size.
The Velez is one of Páramo’s classic technical waterproofs and uses the company’s Nikwax Analogy Directional Waterproof system. Rather than relying on a conventional waterproof membrane, the Analogy system is designed to provide excellent weather protection while actively moving moisture away from the body.
This makes the Velez particularly well suited to hillwalking, hiking, mountaineering, cycling and other active outdoor use in cold, wet and windy British weather.

Excellent reputation
The Velez Adventure Smock has an excellent reputation amongst UK hillwalkers.
Outdoors Magic describes it as one of the best classic smocks and says it’s the reviewer’s first choice when facing long distances in very bad weather. Particular praise is given to its breathability, durability, ventilation and cold/wet-weather protection.
The Great Outdoors also rates the Velez extremely highly, with respected outdoor writer Chris Townsend giving it 4–5 out of 5 and praising its comfort, breathability, hood and winter performance.
The current Páramo Velez Adventure Smock has an RRP of £290, demonstrating where this sits within Páramo’s premium technical waterproof range.
Condition
Excellent used condition.
It has been very well looked after and, as the photographs show, presents extremely well.
I’m only selling because I have purchased another Velez in a larger size.
Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
A great opportunity to pick up a classic Páramo Nikwax Analogy waterproof smock for considerably less than the price of a new Velez.
Ideal for walking, hiking, Munro bagging, mountaineering, cycling, trekking and general winter outdoor use.
