If you’re looking for some new, top quality kit to see you through all of your active adventures over the summer, then the new Páramo Velez system could be perfect for you.
Renowned for quality, innovation and sustainability in their products, UK brand Páramo have made a well-deserved name for themselves in the outdoor industry. Their unique waterproof and windproof jackets with the iconic Nikwax Duology tag are ubiquitous out on the trails – trusted by outdoor lovers all over the world.
Páramo’s environmental credentials are also nothing to sniff at. From using recycled and PFC-free materials, to championing a reuse and repair philosophy when it comes to their garments, they are at the forefront of trying to improve the outdoor industry’s impact on the natural world.

The Velez system is the perfect marriage of warmth and windproof protection, comprising of a windproof jacket and casual baselayer.
The Velez Windproof is a lightweight and easily packable jacket, perfect for running, cycling, walking, and especially changing weather conditions.
Thin but mighty, the Nikwax Duology Windproof fabric uses a closely woven microfibre fabric that cuts windchill and protects your insulation whilst providing excellent moisture vapour transfer. A Nikwax PFC-free durable water repellent treatment deflects the rain.

It’s also easy to stay cool, with two zipped forearm vents, as well as mesh-lined torso pockets, which are great for both storage and for quickly dumping heat.
On the other side of the coin, the Velez Grid Baselayer is a loose-fitting, comfortable garment, designed to be worn with the Velez Windproof.
The tricky task of staying both warm and cool is tackled by the Velez Grid, using Parameta G fabric with a zoned mesh Pump Liner under the arms and across the back for instant temperature regulation and sweat management.

An overlapping neckline and hood also help to offer maximum coverage, while the thumb loops keep your hands and wrists toasty, while also helping your cuffs stay in place under your windproof layer.
The casual fit also means that the Velez Grid can be worn as either a baselayer or midlayer, depending on the weather conditions.

The Prize
The lucky winner of this competition will receive a Velez Windproof and Velez Grid Baselayer from Páramo.
