Product Information
Full details
This K-Way Claude windbreaker is designed for active kids needing reliable protection from wind and rain. Its key benefit is its ultra-compact stowability, allowing it to be packed into its own pocket for easy transport. A minor caveat is that while water-resistant and breathable, it is not fully waterproof, making it best suited for moderate weather conditions. This unisex jacket is made from recycled micro ripstop polyamide, offering 10K water resistance and 10K breathability with heat-bonded seams for insulation.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket is water-resistant with a 10,000 mm water column rating. It is suitable for light rain and showers but not for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
How do I clean the K-Way Claude windbreaker?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Wash separately and protect any accessories.
What does 'rip-stop polyamide' mean?
Rip-stop polyamide is a strong, durable nylon fabric woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. The ripstop weave appears as a grid pattern.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This windbreaker is primarily designed for protection against wind and light rain. It offers some insulation due to its windproof properties, but for very cold weather, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended.
What is the DWR treatment?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the fabric dry.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Refer to K-Way's sizing chart for children's wear. The product description specifies 'Size 6' for this particular item. Ensure you compare measurements if possible.
Where is this jacket made?
This jacket is fabricated in Vietnam.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth may help lubricate it.
Jacket feels damp inside after wearing in rain
This may be due to condensation from breathability limitations or heavy rain exceeding water resistance. Ensure the back vent is not obstructed. For heavy rain, consider a fully waterproof alternative.
Difficulty folding the jacket into its pocket
Lay the jacket flat and smooth out wrinkles. Fold it lengthwise, then fold it into thirds or quarters depending on size, and finally stuff it into the designated pocket. It may take a few tries to find the most efficient folding method.
