Product Information

Full details

The K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0 Windbreaker is designed for adults seeking a lightweight, weather-resistant jacket for everyday use and travel. Its key benefit is its exceptional packability, folding into one of its own pockets, making it easy to carry. A potential caveat is its short length, which may offer less coverage than longer jackets. This unisex jacket utilizes an innovative 100% recycled, weather-resistant, and breathable micro ripstop fabric with heat-bonded seams for enhanced protection against wind and rain. It features a fixed adjustable hood, front zip closure, two zipped pockets, elasticated cuffs, and an adjustable hem.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a 10,000mm water column and DWR treatment, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extremely prolonged or torrential downpours, additional waterproof gear might be necessary.

How do I fold the jacket into its pocket?

Turn the jacket inside out and locate one of the main zip pockets. Begin folding the jacket into itself, starting with the sleeves and body, until it fits snugly within the pocket. Zip the pocket closed to secure it.

What does 'micro ripstop' mean?

Micro ripstop is a lightweight fabric construction where strong, reinforcing threads are woven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern. This makes the fabric resistant to tearing, and if a tear does occur, it prevents it from spreading further.

Can this jacket be worn by both men and women?

Yes, this is a unisex jacket designed to fit adults of any gender.

What are the benefits of using recycled polyamide?

Using recycled polyamide helps conserve resources, reduce waste, and lower the environmental impact associated with producing virgin nylon. It supports a more circular economy within the textile industry.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Follow the care label precisely. Generally, wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent, and air dry. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat, which can degrade the fabric's technical properties.

What is the water resistance rating in millimeters?

The jacket has a water resistance rating of 10,000mm (10,000 mm water column).

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may need reapplication. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then use a DWR spray or wash-in treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Ensure the jacket is completely dry afterwards.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper track with a soft brush to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant) to the teeth of the zipper.

Jacket feels clammy or not breathable

Ensure the garment is not overly layered underneath. Check that the ventilation cut-out on the back is not obstructed. Prolonged exposure to high humidity can also affect perceived breathability.
