Within our Local Group the SMC provides an ideal testbed for studying stellar parameters in a low metallicity environment. Here the properties of the stellar winds of B-type supergiants in the SMC are presented, as obtained from a spectroscopic analysis. The mass-loss rates of these supergiants are compared with observational results of their galactic counterparts and theoretical predictions from monte-carlo simulations. These comparisons reveal a discrepancy between the theoretical predictions and observations, the relevance of which is discussed in terms of its influence on our understanding of stellar evolution.
