Nikwax
Analogy® Waterproofs use a
combination of fabric structure and water repellency to ‘direct’
moisture away from the body and to prevent external moisture
reaching you. They protect your insulation to keep you warm and
dry.
Seals, otters, bears and wolves successfully keep warm
in very cold, wet conditions because their water-repellent fur traps
air next to the skin and directs water outwards.
Analogy® mimics the action of animal fur
to push liquid water outwards, so when any water appears in the
fabric through condensation or immersion, it is immediately directed
outwards away from you.
Advantages over conventional waterproofs and
Soft Shell:
| 1. |
Soft but very strong –
Directional Waterproofs are much softer than coated or membrane
based garments and yet they are just as strong. |
| 2. |
Silence – No rustle or crunch as with
coated or membrane fabrics – Directional Waterproofs are
silent and flexible. |
| 3. |
Immunity to puncture – You could fill
a Directional Waterproof garment with pins, remove them and
still stay dry in the rain! Puncture of the fabric won’t
lead to leakage. |
| 4. |
Work in high humidity – Both conventional
waterproofs and Soft Shell fail in conditions of high humidity.
Analogy continues to pump water away whatever the humidity. |
| 5. |
Warmth – Being warm as well as waterproof
means you can leave behind some of your insulation layers. |
| 6. |
Renewability – The performance of Directional
Waterproofs can be indefinitely renewed by caring for them with
Nikwax products and they won’t crack or fracture over
time. |
