FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof or just water-resistant?
The outer shell is described as waterproof, windproof, and breathable. The reverse side is water-repellent. The heat-sealed seams contribute to its waterproof performance.
How do I determine the correct size?
Consult the K-Way size chart for apparel. Given the slim fit, it's recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare them to the provided dimensions. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.
Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?
This jacket is designed for transitional weather (spring and autumn) and offers windproof and waterproof protection. It is not insulated for extreme cold. For winter, it can serve as a protective outer shell layered over warmer insulation.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% Nylon.
What is the difference between the two sides of the jacket?
One side is a coated nylon with a shiny finish, offering waterproof, windproof, and breathable properties. The reverse side is plain nylon with a water-repellent finish and a contrasting color.
Are the pockets zippered or snap button?
The jacket features both types of pockets: two zippered pockets and two snap button pockets, offering versatile storage options.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Water is not beading off the coated nylon side effectively.
The water-repellent treatment may be diminished over time. Consider applying a specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray suitable for synthetic outerwear, following the product's instructions.
Drawstrings for hood or hem are loose.
Check if the drawcord locks are engaged. If the drawcords themselves have become longer, you may need to re-thread them or adjust the internal knotting mechanism if present.
Jacket feels too tight for layering.
This jacket is designed with a slim fit. For more room for layering, consider sizing up or exploring K-Way models with a regular fit. Ensure you are not trying to layer overly bulky items.
