• Extremely resilient and durable fabric, it won’t degrade in UV light
• Folds or compresses without any damage making it ideal to carry

How it works:

1. Skin surface
2. Parameta S is shown here worn next to the skin drawing water away to keep you dry
3. Nikwax^® Windproof's closely woven microfibre provides wind proofing and Nikwax durable water-repellency.
4. Wind is deflected away from the body, while perspiration as water vapour can escape. If treated with Nikwax Waterproofing^® products it can also provide durable and renewable water-repellency.
