The Paramo Men's Bentu Windproof Jacket is a fantastic addition to the range primarily because it answers the age old question, "What can I couple up with my Taiga fleece to make a waterproof system?" the answer is now the Bentu.
When you combine the Men’s Bentu Jacket with your Taiga or any other Paramo fleece it will provide maximum versatility and flexibility for a wide range of walking and nature activities on hills and valleys, lowlands and coasts where one might encounter rain, cold, sun or wind.
When worn alone, the Bentu Windproof Jacket can cut a gale force wind and protect against summer showers and squalls.
The real bonus of the Bentu over other Paramo windproof products is the ‘Zoned’ Pump Liner® in the hood and across the shoulders provides clever drainage technology for added protection in heavy rain. When worn in combination with the Bentu or Taiga Fleece, the system gives full waterproof protection.
Please note- for a good fit, you need a size bigger Bentu than the Taiga.

The Bentu Jacket is for people who enjoy outdoor activities all year.
If you are out walking in summer, you need something breathable to protect you from wind and light showers, without making you overheat. In winter you need more rain resistance and insulation, which normally would require buying an additional winter jacket.
The Bentu Windproof Jacket provides wind and water resistant protection in the warmer months. The same jacket is designed to combine with the Bentu Fleece to form a warm waterproof system for winter.
The Bentu Windproof Jacket has zoned Pump Liner® for greater protection, excellent pocketing, and a design that perfectly complements the Bentu Fleece.
Extra rain protection in the areas of highest impact from zoned Pump Liner in the hood and across the shoulders.
Safe, secure storage provided by two large chest pockets and two handwarming pockets.
Specifically designed to be compatible with the Bentu Fleece. Together these two garments create a versatile Waterproof system.
Nikwax Analogy Windproof FabricNikwax® Windproof cuts windchill and protects your insulation but still provides excellent moisture vapour transfer, allowing your perspiration to escape. The fabric is light but very durable and UV resistant so providing excellent protection in all environments. The use of Analogy Pump Liner in this garment across the hood and shoulders provides excellent watershedding and weather protection.
If you maintain it with Nikwax waterproofing products, it will also deflect the rain. It can be worn alone, or combined with Nikwax Fleece to create a fully directional waterproof system, equivalent to an Analogy waterproof.
