Made To Measure Nikwax Analogy From Hilltrek

New from Hilltrek are made to measure jacket and trousers using Nikwax Analogy fabrics.

Clothing using the Nikwax Analogy Waterproof system is now available in made to measure guise from clothing specialist Hilltrek.

The Scottish-based outfit is a longstanding Paramo retailer, but is now offering its own made to measure Lomond Nikwax Analogy Jacket and trousers using Nikwax Analogy fabric - the material used to produce Paramo waterproof garments - alongside the regular Paramo garments.

The jacket is a traditional UK hill-walking design complete with map pockets, waterproof handwarmer pockets, a wired hood and double storm flap. It should suit anyone who finds the standard Paramo design doesn't quite fit them but still wants to benefit from Nikwax Analogy's excellent combination of breathability and weather protection.

Even better, at £200, the Lomond Jacket isn't that much more expensive than a standard Paramo jacket in a similar design. You get a wide choice of colours too. When ordering it's simply a matter of entering your precise measurements on an online form.

The company takes a 25 per-cent immediate payment as a deposit, with the remainder once the garment has shipped some four to six weeks later. Matching Lomond Nikwax Trousers cost £120 and are made on a similar basis.

The company plans to add to its range of Nikwax Analogy clothing in the future with children's clothing and country sports wear in the offing. Hilltrek also sells made to measure garments in fleece, Ventile and conventional waterproof fabrics.

It might not be original, but I think it's a very welcome development. Look at the way Gore-tex and every other 'tex' on the block has been grabbed by manufacturers tripping over each other in their haste to get to the shops. I'm not sure what Paramo's thinking is on the subject, but I see no harm in lots of manufacturers making stuff with their fabrics, maybe freeing up resources for Nick and his people to concentrate more on the 'ideas' side of the business.
