They are durable and renewable, with an excellent fit. Durable and renewable performance, as with all Paramo Directional products, due to the Analogy Waterproof fabric’s ability to be cleaned, reproofed and repaired Dyneema fabric provides an unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio for outstanding abrasion resistance and durability for all activities, eliminating the need for traditional, heavy reinforcement ​ The Mountain Gaiters are slim-fitting with great freedom of movement and are easy to put on and adjust. Freemagic closure gives constant performance, repels snow and aids fastening in extreme environments. Double security closure from durable poppers Snug fit provided by adjustable and replaceable underfoot fastener Slim fitting gaiter combined with stretch fabric provides complete freedom of movement   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.

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®. If your waterproof picks up a contamination which cannot be removed in a normal wash, Páramo can professionally wash and reproof it for you. What if I damage my Nikwax Analogy® Waterproof clothing? Simple repairs can often be done with a needle and thread without compromising the performance of your Páramo gear. If you seriously damage a garment, you can send it back to Páramo and request a quote for having it mended – most damage can be repaired!
