Product Information

Full details

The K-Way Le Vrai 4.0 Eiffel East is a versatile, unisex long rain jacket designed for outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable, packable protection against wind and rain. Featuring high-performance ripstop fabric with a 10,000 mm water column rating, it offers excellent weather resistance while maintaining breathability for active use; however, its loose, relaxed silhouette may feel too roomy for those seeking a slim or athletic fit.

FAQs

Is the K-Way Eiffel East machine washable?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a cold, gentle cycle, but avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

The jacket is designed to fold into one of its own pockets. Follow the internal guide or seams to invert the pocket and fold the garment neatly inside.

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

It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000 mm high column of water before moisture begins to penetrate the material.

Is this jacket suitable for winter?

It is primarily a wind and rain shell. While it offers protection from the elements, it is not insulated, so you will need to layer sweaters or fleece underneath for warmth.

Can I use this for high-intensity sports?

Yes, the breathable fabric and back vent make it suitable for active pursuits, though it is intended more for casual outdoor use than heavy-duty athletic performance.

Does the hood adjust?

Yes, the jacket features an adjustable drawstring hood to ensure a snug fit around your face during windy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and apply a technical DWR re-proofing spray.

Zipper is sticking

Check for debris in the zipper track and ensure no fabric is caught. Lubricate the zipper track with a dry silicone lubricant if necessary.

Feeling overheated

Ensure the rear ventilation opening is unobstructed and consider adjusting your layering underneath the jacket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly packable for travel and storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your K-Way jacket, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Keep the jacket dry and avoid storing it while wet, even if it is packed into its own pocket for travel—always hang it to air dry as soon as possible after use. For cleaning, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners that can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If the water-repellent performance begins to fade over time, consider using a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to restore the jacket's outer water resistance.
