Product Information
Full details
The K Way Claude 3.0 Rain Anorak is designed for active children who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is being fully waterproof and windproof, ensuring kids stay dry and comfortable during wet weather. A potential caveat is that while it offers essential protection, it is an anorak style, which might be less convenient for quick on-and-off compared to a full zip jacket for very young children. This unisex jacket features a toggle-adjustable hood, elasticated cuffs, two zipped pockets, and is packable for convenience.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The K Way Claude 3.0 Rain Anorak is primarily designed for rain and wind protection. It is not insulated for extreme cold. For colder weather, layer this waterproof shell over warm clothing like fleece or down.
How do I know which size to choose?
Refer to the K Way sizing guide for children's apparel. It's recommended to measure your child's chest and height and compare these measurements to the guide to find the best fit.
Can this jacket be machine washed?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
What does 'packable' mean for this jacket?
The jacket can be folded down and stored inside one of its own zipped pockets. This makes it very compact and easy to carry in a backpack or bag for unexpected weather.
Are the seams taped for waterproofing?
Yes, the jacket features internally taped seams, which are crucial for ensuring full waterproofing and preventing water from seeping through stitch lines.
How do I maintain the waterproof finish?
To maintain the waterproof finish, avoid fabric softeners and bleach during washing. Periodically, you can re-apply a waterproofing spray or use a wash-in waterproofer designed for outdoor gear.
What is the purpose of the rear ventilation opening?
The rear ventilation opening is designed to improve breathability. It allows excess heat and moisture vapor to escape from the jacket, helping to keep the wearer more comfortable during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear according to product instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
Hood adjustment toggle is loose
Ensure the toggle is properly secured on the drawcord. If the drawcord itself is frayed, it may need replacement.
Elastic cuffs have lost their elasticity
Elasticity can naturally decrease over time with wear. Gentle washing and avoiding high heat drying can help preserve it. This is typically a sign of normal wear and tear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
- Sizing: Available in various kids' sizes. Refer to size charts to ensure the correct fit for your child.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and water-repellent properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the waterproof treatment.

- Re-proofing: For optimal performance, consider using a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear periodically, following the product's instructions.
