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