In what kind of weather conditions can I use my Velez Adventure Smock?
Your Smock has been tested in the Leeds University Rain Room to resist at least 4 hours of heavy rain at approximately five times the intensity of normal UK rainfall and you can use it throughout the year in cold or wet conditions.
Because the fabric system offers significant insulation when the ventilation zips are closed, this is not the best garment to use in hot conditions. In that case we would recommend a Nikwax® Windproof combined with a Parameta® T+ baselayer, to optimise breathability and cooling. For full weather protection, swap the baselayer for a Nikwax® Fleece.
