Product Information

Full details

The K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0 Windbreaker is designed for adults seeking lightweight, packable protection against wind and rain. Its key benefit is its exceptional portability, folding neatly into one of its pockets, making it an ideal companion for travel or everyday carry. A potential consideration is that while it offers water resistance, it is not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy downpours. This unisex jacket features a durable, recycled nylon ripstop fabric, heat-taped seams for enhanced insulation, and practical design elements for comfort and ventilation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket is water-repellent with a 10,000mm water column, making it effective against rain and water splashes. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, it is considered water-resistant rather than fully waterproof.

What does 'packable' mean for this jacket?

It means the jacket can be easily folded and stored inside one of its own pockets, reducing its size to a compact form that is convenient for carrying in a bag or backpack.

What is the fabric made of?

The jacket is made from 100% polyamide (Nylon) ripstop fabric, with at least 50% of the polyamide being recycled.

How do I wash the jacket?

You can machine wash it cold with similar colors, wash separately, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron. Always check the care label for precise instructions.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

The jacket is lightweight and designed for wind and rain protection. For colder temperatures, it is recommended to layer it over insulating clothing like a fleece or sweater.

What does DWR treatment mean?

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 you dry in light rain or spray.

Can I wear this jacket for sports?

Yes, the jacket is breathable and offers wind protection, making it suitable for activities like running, cycling, or hiking. Its design prioritizes comfort and mobility.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not repelling water effectively

Ensure the DWR treatment is still active. Over time, this treatment can wear off. Reapply a DWR waterproofing spray specifically designed for apparel according to product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Elasticated cuffs or hem losing elasticity

Avoid high heat during washing and drying, as this can degrade elastic. Gently stretch the elasticated areas periodically. If significant loss of elasticity occurs, it may be due to wear and tear.
