Product Information

Full details

The K-Way Jacket Arsene Plus.2 is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, mid-season outerwear piece. Its key benefit lies in its reversible design, offering two distinct looks and functionalities, coupled with waterproof and windproof features. A potential caveat is its slim fit, which may not suit all body types or layering preferences. This bomber jacket is constructed from recycled nylon, featuring a coated nylon side and a plain nylon side in a contrasting color, with heat-sealed seams and elasticated ribbed inserts for a snug fit.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof and features heat-sealed seams, offering good protection for moderate to heavy rain. However, for prolonged exposure in extreme conditions, a more robust technical shell might be necessary.

How do I choose between the two sides?

The coated nylon side offers a shinier finish and enhanced water repellency. The plain nylon side provides a more matte, casual look. You can choose based on the weather, your outfit, or your desired aesthetic for the day.

Can I wear this jacket in warmer weather?

While breathable, the jacket is primarily designed for mid-seasons. In very warm weather, it may feel too warm, especially the coated side. It's best suited for temperatures ranging from cool to mild.

What is the fit like?

The jacket has a slim fit. It is designed to be close to the body, so if you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick layers underneath, consider sizing up.

How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?

Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach during washing. After washing, do not tumble dry; instead, lay flat to dry. Reapply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for nylon fabrics if you notice a significant decrease in water repellency.

What does 'recycled material' mean for this jacket?

It means the nylon used in the jacket's construction has been processed from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, reducing the need for virgin materials and contributing to environmental sustainability.

Are the pockets secure?

The jacket features two zipped pockets and two press stud pockets, providing secure options for carrying essentials like keys, a wallet, or a phone.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray suitable for coated and nylon fabrics, following product instructions carefully. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents which can degrade the water-repellent treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Jacket feels tight or restrictive.

This jacket features a slim fit. For more comfortable layering, consider wearing thinner base layers underneath. If the fit remains too restrictive, it may not be suitable for your preferred layering style or body shape.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Verify that the heat-sealed seams are intact. If they show signs of damage or separation, contact customer support. Ensure you are not exceeding the garment's intended waterproof capabilities.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The K-Way Jacket Arsene Plus.2 is designed as a standalone outerwear piece. Its slim fit means it pairs best with slimmer-fitting trousers and casual footwear. It is suitable for adult males across various casual and semi-casual settings.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C with a gentle cycle. Wash separately or with similar colors.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.

  • Ironing: Iron on the reverse side at a maximum temperature of 110°C, without steam. Avoid ironing directly on any prints or logos.
