FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The K-Way Umbert jacket is designed for transitional climates, offering protection against rain and wind. It's ideal for spring and autumn, handling light to moderate rain and cool, breezy conditions.

How do I determine the right size?

The jacket features a regular fit. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements to ensure the best fit. Consider if you prefer to layer thicker items underneath when choosing your size.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

While it features an insulating membrane, it's primarily designed for transitional weather. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer additional warm clothing underneath.

What does a 10,000 mm water column rating mean?

A 10,000 mm water column rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of 10,000 millimeters of water before leaking. This signifies a good level of waterproofing suitable for moderate rain.

How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and care. A general guideline is to reapply when water no longer beads on the surface. Typically, this might be after several washes or a season of regular use.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The jacket features flap pockets with snap button fastening. While the flaps offer some protection, the pockets themselves are not designed to be fully waterproof. Avoid storing electronic devices or items sensitive to moisture in them.

What is the difference between this jacket and a full rain jacket?

This jacket combines features of a shirt and a technical jacket. It offers good waterproofing and breathability but might have fewer seam-sealed areas or a less robust hood compared to specialized heavy-duty rain jackets, focusing more on a stylish, versatile aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the jacket surface anymore.

The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a new DWR spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's specific guidelines.

Jacket feels damp inside despite not being exposed to rain.

This could be due to insufficient breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Check that all vents are open if applicable. If the issue persists, the jacket's breathability may be compromised.

Buttons are loose or damaged.

For minor repairs like loose buttons, a sewing kit can be used to reattach them securely. For significant damage, contact customer support or a professional tailor for repair options.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth to improve glide. Avoid using excessive force.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent protection against rain and wind due to waterproof and windproof materials.

  • Versatile style suitable for casual wear and transitional weather.
  • Durable construction with taped seams for long-lasting performance.
  • Practical features like flap pockets and adjustable cuffs enhance usability.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

Compatibility: Designed for adult men, the K-Way Umbert shirt is a standalone piece of outerwear. It layers well over t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, or light sweaters.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C on a delicate cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor clothing. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powders, as these can clog the fabric's pores and damage the membrane.
  3. Rinsing: Ensure a thorough rinse cycle to remove all detergent residue.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. If tumble drying, you can optionally add a clean tennis ball to help restore loft and maintain the DWR treatment.
  5. Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, reapply a DWR treatment periodically, following the product's instructions, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
