Velez Adventure Light Smock
Páramo · £240
Worth being NRY provisional
584g of Nikwax Analogy Light, which keeps rain out by pushing water away from the body rather than by laminating a membrane to the fabric. That matters practically: there is no membrane to delaminate, and the fabric can be re-proofed at home instead of replaced. A smock has no front zip to fail either, so this is about as repairable as waterproofs get.
