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:
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.
Nikwax® Fleece outer fabric allows air to be trapped between Pump Liner and outer to give insulation.
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.
