'Le Vrai Claude' refers to a classic K-Way model, with '4.0' indicating this is the fourth major iteration, featuring technological updates and improved materials like recycled polyamide.
With a 10,000mm water column, it offers good protection against moderate rain. For prolonged downpours or extreme conditions, a jacket with a higher water resistance rating might be more appropriate.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
