The Velez Jacket is an ideal piece for active outdoor enthusiasts.
If you enjoy mountain walking, cycling, climbing and backpacking, you need a jacket that will keep you dry in the rain and stop overheating whilst you are working hard.
Choose the Velez Jacket for intense activities in warmer temperatures...
The lining used throughout the jacket minimises the still air trapped between the layers of fabric allowing use across a wide range of operating temperatures and conditions.
Designed for activities where cooling and condensation removal are as important as weather protection, it has mesh reinforced shoulder and back panels, allowing the user to carry a pack without risk of water ingress in wet weather.
Temperature regulation is provided by two dual phase chest pockets and forward facing upper arm vents combined with a lightweight mesh lining.
- Field of vision and weather protection is assured by the fully adjustable, helmet compatible, wire peaked “halo” hood.
- Secure pocketing allows you to keep maps and valuables safe without impeding the use of packs or harnesses.

Nikwax® Analogy Waterproof
Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric is more than just breathable, it is directional. This means it is capable of moving liquid water away from your body and not just water vapour.
In conventional clothing systems, approximately 20% of sweat production is dealt with effectively, leaving the remaining 80% trapped inside. Nikwax Analogy garments are unique, in that they pump out this 80% of liquid water and allow it to drain away; you are left feeling dry and comfortable.
