FAQs

What is the water resistance rating of this jacket?

The K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0 Windbreaker has a water resistance of 10,000mm water column.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

It is designed to be waterproof and water-repellent, offering good protection for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme, prolonged downpours, additional layers or a more heavy-duty garment might be considered.

How do I know if I ordered the correct size?

Refer to the K-Way size chart specific to this model. The product details mention it is a unisex jacket, so consider if you prefer a snugger or looser fit.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This windbreaker is primarily designed for protection against wind and rain. It offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, it is best layered over warmer clothing like a fleece or sweater.

What does 'micro ripstop' mean?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. Micro ripstop refers to a finer weave pattern of this technique, offering durability in a lightweight material.

How durable is the recycled polyamide fabric?

The recycled polyamide used is a high-quality nylon ripstop, designed to be durable and resistant to wear and tear, similar to virgin polyamide, while contributing to sustainability.

What is the purpose of the heat-taped seams?

Heat-taped seams create a waterproof seal along the stitching lines, preventing water from penetrating through the needle holes and enhancing the jacket's overall windproof and waterproof performance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof after washing.

Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is still effective. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment if necessary. Check that all seams are properly heat-taped and intact.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Jacket feels clammy during activity.

While breathable, extreme exertion may still lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure the ventilation cut-out on the back is not obstructed and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

Packable pocket is difficult to use.

Ensure the jacket is folded neatly and completely before attempting to stuff it into the pocket. Turn the pocket inside out first before folding the jacket into it.
