FAQs

Is this windbreaker suitable for heavy rain?

The K-Way Le Vrai 4.0 Eiffeleast windbreaker is designed to be waterproof, offering protection against light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear might be necessary.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean?

Recycled polyamide is a material made from pre-consumer or post-consumer waste that has been processed back into raw material. Using it helps conserve resources and reduce waste in manufacturing.

How do I fold the jacket into its back pocket?

Locate the large pocket on the back of the jacket. Turn the jacket inside out, starting from the bottom, and systematically fold or scrunch it into the back pocket until fully contained. Then, zip the pocket closed.

What is the fit like?

The description mentions a 'long' length. It is a unisex windbreaker, so consider your personal fit preference. Refer to size charts if available for precise measurements.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This windbreaker is designed for protection against wind and rain. For cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating clothing like fleece or down jackets.

Does the hood offer good protection?

Yes, the hood is fixed and adjustable with elasticated drawstrings, allowing you to cinch it for a secure and protective fit against wind and rain.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Water is not beading or repelling effectively.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment suitable for polyamide fabrics, following the product's instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before reapplication.

The garment feels damp inside despite no external rain.

This could be due to insufficient ventilation or perspiration. Ensure the back vents are open and the two-way zip is adjusted for airflow. In humid conditions, some internal moisture build-up is normal with breathable fabrics.
