This leads to three very noticeable areas where water seems to pour through (The main zip and the two-venting zips).When the jacket was new this was less noticeable however through normal usage and despite fastidious reproofing the zips are still weak points.It is worth pointing out that many other items in the Paramo range feature either external baffles, better inner mounted baffles or a combination of both which should help to alleviate this problem.After the zips the next main weak point for water getting in is the cuffs. It wicks effectively to spread perspiration and dry quickly, providing light insulation in cooler conditions. Walk one of Scotland's iconic long-distance trails from Fort William to Inverness in the Highlands. Immerse yourself in the Provençal way of life on this walking tour in the heart of Provence it felt the same to us, even worn back to back with a Velez. It’s aimed at all-rounders – walkers, runners, bikers, climbers – and thanks to the fixed hood is also eligible for adventure racing. NB. Go Outdoors were kind enough to send me a Paramo Velez Smock, one of their range of As opposed to the vast majority of waterproof jackets, which use a waterproof breathable membrane, Paramo uses the Nikwax Analogy system. The Paramo Velez Adventure Smock offers full windproof, waterproof and breathable protection thanks to the use of Nikwax Analogy technology. It is asymmetrical and wicking, directing water from one fabric face to the other, as well as rapidly spreading moisture to speed up evaporation and, therefore, cooling. It’s fixed, by the way, to make the smock eligible for some adventure races which specify a non-removable hood.We’ve used a Velez for cold weather – freezing and below – fast moving stuff like biking and quick walking for ages, but the improved hood on the Light really does up the versatility of the garment making it much more of an all-rounder.To qualify that, the short-cut front means crotch protection is lacking unless you have suitably protective legwear and some will prefer the longer, but much looser and bulkier Aspira for that reason, but choose the right trousers and the Velez Adventure Light cuts it for most mountain activities.The Velez Adventure Light really impressed us. I have used it for going to work, running, mountain biking, walking and generally just kicking about. Fair to say that this is a very well specced jacket and the only activity I would rule out would be winter walking/mountaineering as it just doesn't have enough pockets for hats/gloves and gear and is cut a little short for this.

Whilst seemingly insignificant as the cuff opening is only a matter of a few centimetres away it means that water can too easily get in around your wrists and with no pump liner to push it outwards it remains there.The cut of the jacket is described by Paramo as a closer, contoured fit; however it is far baggier than most other manufacturers’ closer fits.This is especially the case under the arms, where the cut of the fabric leads to bad arm lift.
