FAQs

What does 'Ultra-functional' mean for this windbreaker?

It refers to its design prioritizing practicality, such as being waterproof, breathable, and easily packable into its own pocket, making it highly adaptable for various situations.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The windbreaker is waterproof and designed for protection against rain, but it is best suited for moderate rain or showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket might be necessary.

How much recycled material is in the jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% polyamide, with at least 50% of that being recycled polyamide.

Can I wear this over a thick sweater?

While it's a unisex fit, the jacket is designed as an outer layer. It may fit over a light to medium layer, but a very thick sweater might make the fit feel snug.

How do I clean the K-Way Le Vrai 4.0 Eiffeleast?

Refer to the product label. Generally, machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Hang to dry.

What are the 'signature details' mentioned?

The signature details typically refer to the iconic K-Way logo print on the chest and the branded zip puller, which are hallmarks of the K-Way brand.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features elasticated drawstrings that can be tightened or loosened to achieve a secure and comfortable fit around the head.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not waterproof anymore

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics. Ensure zippers are fully closed to maintain water resistance.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently apply a graphite pencil (lead) or a small amount of wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure there are no fabric snags in the zipper track.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can happen when high humidity meets a waterproof barrier. Open the front zipper or the back ventilation to improve airflow. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath.

Difficulty folding into the back pocket

Ensure the jacket is completely dry and laid flat before attempting to fold it neatly into the pocket. The pocket is designed for a snug fit when the jacket is packed correctly.
