Sizing
Please refer to the size chart and we would recommend going down one size if not using the matching fleece.
The Bentu windproof uses Nikwax®Duology®Windproof fabric with zoned Pump Liner®, which can cut a gale-force wind and protect against showers when worn alone.
The Bentu Windproof is for outdoor people who need flexible protection in changeable conditions.
If you enjoy walking or being in nature, you need a versatile jacket suitable for these activities. Good protection from wind and showers and something to keep you warm is essential. However, you also need to be able to keep cool when working hard.
In warmer weather, the Bentu Windproof provides wind and water resistant protection when worn over a baselayer. In cooler conditions, it can be combined with a Fleece or Plus Fleece for differing levels of insulation and waterproofing, depending on the weather and activity.

How will my Páramo Duology Windproof outperform other windproofs?
Páramo windproofs are extremely breathable and highly water repellent, providing durable weather protection for use in changing conditions.
