The Velez Evolution has extensive and innovative ventilation, a helmet compatible hood, internal back reinforcement for use with a large pack and an articulated fit.

• Full length two way twin front zips and forward facing arm vents for adaptable core ventilation
• Carefully designed articulation that allows complete freedom of movement and virtually no hem lift when reaching
• Rucksack, harness, helmet and glove friendly through ingenious design and componentry

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.

It is essential to avoid a build-up of water in your clothing system when you are working hard, as too much retained moisture will lead to your body rapidly chilling when you stop and rest.

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.

• Twin zip design and forward facing arm vents offer excellent ventilation options for optimum temperature control
• Large “dry” zipped drop pocket and an external twin zipped tunnel hand warming pocket.
• Excellent field of vision and protection provided by a fully adjustable, securable helmet compatible hood.
• Fully articulated shoulders and elbows with stretch articulation panels allow maximum freedom of movement.
• Easy push up sleeves with bite tab closure for adjustment on the go.
• Scooped tail with elasticated adjustable hem for improved lower back protection.
• Pack and harness compatible.
• 11 Reflective flashes positioned around the jacket to present an outline when illuminated.

The Velez Evolution Jacket is a multi-season, high energy piece which delivers full winter and mountain performance but can be adapted to provide an extremely well ventilated garment. It can be worn in a number of ways to suit your activities and conditions. The Nikwax Analogy^® waterproof fabric guarantees hard-wearing weatherproofing and perspiration removal providing huge versatility and top mountain performance.
