FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The K-Way Le Vrai 4.0 Eiffeleast windbreaker is designed to be waterproof and breathable, offering good protection against wind and light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket with higher hydrostatic head ratings might be more suitable.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

Turn the jacket inside out and fold it into the designated back pocket. The pocket is designed to contain the entire jacket, making it compact for storage.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean?

Recycled polyamide is a material made from pre-consumer or post-consumer waste, such as old fishing nets or fabric scraps. Using it helps conserve resources and reduce waste compared to producing virgin polyamide.

Can I wear this over a thick sweater?

While the jacket is sized for adults, its fit might be snug over very thick layers due to its design. It is generally intended to be worn over lighter to medium-weight layers for optimal comfort and mobility.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or K-Way's official website for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary by region and retailer.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the integral hood features elasticated drawstrings, allowing you to adjust it for a secure and personalized fit.

What is the length of this parka?

The 'Eiffeleast' model is described as having a long length, indicating it extends further down the body, typical of a parka style.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move it back and forth. A small amount of wax or lubricant can sometimes help if the issue persists.

Water is not beading off effectively.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off over time. Consider applying a waterproofing spray suitable for synthetic fabrics. Ensure the garment is clean before re-waterproofing.

Garment feels less breathable than expected.

Check the ventilated back opening for any obstructions. Ensure the garment is not overly layered underneath, which can trap heat. Clean the garment according to care instructions.
