Overview
The Velez Evolution is for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals who are active in mild and extreme winter conditions.
If you enjoy activities such as mountaineering, hiking, trekking and ski-touring you need the Mens Velez Evolution Hybrid Smock jacket that keeps you dry during activity and in adverse weather conditions.
The Velez Evolution delivers full winter weather protection and mountain performance. However, the extensive and innovative ventilation options can be adjusted to extend the wear well beyond these winter months.
The Mens Velez Evolution Hybrid Smock 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
- Backpack, harness, helmet and glove friendly
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 vapor.
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.
To understand the difference between directionality and breathability, you can read more here.
- 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.
- Reflective trim 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.
How will your Páramo® garment outperform breathable membranes?
Nikwax Analogy fabrics are not only extremely breathable, they are directional too. This means that water, both liquid and vapor, is directed outwards, ensuring your insulation remains protected.
Although breathable membranes allow moisture vapor to pass through them, they do nothing to transport liquid water. Therefore, when the production of sweat exceeds the Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate, or when the external temperatures drop, condensation (the change of water from vapor to liquid) will build up in breathable membranes.
Nikwax Analogy is so durable you could puncture a Páramo waterproof with pins, remove them, and still stay dry in the rain! Unlike coated or membrane-based garments, our directional clothing can be easily repaired, without compromising future performance.

In what kind of weather conditions can I use my Velez Evolution?
Your Velez Evolution Jacket has passed the Leeds University Rainroom Test, so you can wear it with confidence in heavy rain or in cold conditions throughout the year. Because the fabric system offers significant insulation, this is not the best garment to deal with heavy showers in very hot conditions.
Great for trekking, mountaineering, ice climbing, and snowsports.
How do I care for my Páramo waterproof?
Regularly wash it with Nikwax Tech Wash® to remove dirt and revive its water repellency. If, after washing, the outer fabric absorbs water (it does not run off in beads) it is time to reproof your garment with Nikwax TX.Direct®.
