FAQs

What does the 10,000mm water column rating mean?

A 10,000mm water column rating indicates the fabric can withstand a certain amount of water pressure before it begins to leak, offering good protection against moderate rain.

How do I ensure the jacket remains windproof?

The jacket features a windproof inner flap and heat-taped seams. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed and the hood and hem drawcords are tightened to minimize wind entry.

Can this jacket be worn in warm weather?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be breathable (10,000g/m²/24h), making it suitable for wear in warmer conditions when protection from wind or light rain is needed, especially with its ventilation features.

What is the benefit of using recycled polyamide?

Using recycled polyamide helps conserve resources, reduces waste, and lowers the environmental impact compared to producing virgin polyamide.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

For long-term storage, it is best to hang the jacket loosely rather than keeping it folded in its pocket to maintain the fabric's integrity and performance.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy downpours?

While it offers good water resistance, it is primarily designed as a windbreaker and light rain jacket. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more suitable.

What is the fit of the K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0?

The jacket has a regular fit, designed to accommodate layering underneath without being overly bulky.

Troubleshooting

Jacket does not feel fully waterproof.

Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. Reapplication may be necessary after significant wear. Check that zippers are fully closed and seams are properly sealed.

Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.

Verify that the ventilation cut-out on the back is not obstructed. Ensure the jacket is not overly layered underneath. The breathability rating is suitable for moderate activity; high-intensity, prolonged exertion may exceed its capabilities.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If dirt is visible, clean the zipper area with a damp cloth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Jacket lost its packability.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to fold and pack it into its designated pocket. Check for any obstructions preventing it from folding correctly.
