NIKWAX ANALOGY® WATERPROOF

What is Analogy?

The Nikwax Analogy system combines a water and wind repellent outer layer with what we call a “Pump Liner”. This proprietary system mimics the action of animal fur – pushing liquid water outwards to protect you from rain, condensation and perspiration, while protecting your insulation.

Key benefits:

  • Two-layer construction keeps you warm and cozy by trapping still air.
  • System works together to keep you dry from precipitation on the outside, and perspiration and condensation on the inside for the best feeling performance.
  • Works 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, strong, silent and durable.

How it works:

  1. Skin surface
  2. Baselayer worn next to the skin.
  3. Nikwax Analogy Pump Liner pumps water away from the body.
  4. Closely woven microfiber outer provides windproofing and Nikwax durable water-repellency. Air is trapped between Pump Liner and outer to give insulation.
  5. Wind and rain is deflected away from the body while perspiration and condensation as liquid water or water vapour can escape.
