FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-repellent with a 10,000mm water column, making it effective against light to moderate rain and drizzle. For prolonged heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket may be necessary.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

Turn one of the front pockets inside out, then carefully fold and stuff the jacket into that pocket. Zip it closed to secure the packed jacket.

What does 'micro ripstop' fabric mean?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. 'Micro ripstop' refers to a finer weave pattern, providing durability in a lightweight material.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This windbreaker is designed for protection against wind and rain. For cold weather, it is best used as an outer shell layered over warmer insulating clothing like fleeces or down jackets.

What is the difference between water-repellent and waterproof?

Water-repellent means the fabric resists water to a certain extent, causing it to bead up and roll off. Waterproof means the fabric is impermeable to water, usually indicated by a high water column rating and sealed seams.

Does the hood have any adjustment?

Yes, the fixed hood features an adjustable drawstring, allowing you to tighten it around your face for better protection against wind and rain.

How much recycled material is used?

The jacket is made from 100% polyamide, with at least 50% of that being recycled polyamide, contributing to resource conservation and waste reduction.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water-repellent

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR waterproofing spray or wash following the care instructions for re-activating the treatment (often involves low heat drying).

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can be due to insufficient ventilation or high humidity. Ensure the back vent is open and adjust the hood and hem to allow for better airflow. If engaged in strenuous activity, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.

Fading colour after washing

Ensure you are washing with cold water and a mild detergent, and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Check the care label for specific washing temperature guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0 windbreaker requires no setup. Simply unpack it, and it's ready to wear. Adjust the hood drawstring and bottom hem cord for a secure fit.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as outerwear and is compatible with most standard clothing items. Its lightweight nature makes it suitable for layering over t-shirts, sweaters, or lighter fleeces.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high temperatures.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the fabric and waterproof coating.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Detergent: Use mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR treatment and breathability.

Always refer to the specific care label on your garment for the most accurate instructions.
