FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a 10,000mm water column rating, making it waterproof and suitable for moderate to heavy rain. However, for prolonged exposure to intense downpours, a heavier-duty rain jacket might be more appropriate.

What does 'micro ripstop 4.0 fabric' mean?

Micro ripstop fabric is a lightweight woven fabric with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. The '4.0' likely refers to an updated or enhanced version of this technology by K-Way.

How do I know if it's the right size?

The jacket is described as having a 'regular fit'. It is recommended to check the specific size chart provided by the retailer or K-Way for detailed measurements to ensure the best fit.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This is primarily a windbreaker and rain jacket, offering protection from the elements. For cold weather, it is best layered over insulating clothing like a fleece or a down jacket.

What is the benefit of the recycled polyamide material?

Using recycled polyamide conserves resources, reduces waste, and lowers the environmental impact compared to producing virgin polyamide. It offers similar performance qualities while being more sustainable.

How durable is the packable feature?

The packable feature is designed for frequent use. By carefully folding the jacket into its designated pocket, the durability of the zipper and fabric is maintained.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside

This could be due to condensation. Ensure the ventilation cut-out on the back is not obstructed and consider wearing breathable layers underneath.

Water is not beading off the fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need to be reapplied. Follow specific care instructions for washing and drying to potentially reactivate or restore this treatment.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the issue persists, lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Jacket does not pack into its pocket easily

Ensure the jacket is completely dry and as flat as possible before attempting to fold and stuff it into the pocket. Overstuffing may make it difficult to close.
