Product Information

Full details

This K-Way Le Vrai 4.0 Eiffeleast hooded windbreaker is designed for adults seeking a stylish and functional outerwear piece for unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is its ultra-functional, packable design, allowing it to fold into its own back pocket, making it ideal for travel and on-the-go use. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it is primarily a windbreaker, so heavy, prolonged rain may require additional protection. This unisex windbreaker is made from 100% polyamide (at least 50% recycled polyamide), features a full zip fastening, an integral hood, and the iconic K-Way logo.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The K-Way Le Vrai 4.0 Eiffeleast windbreaker is waterproof and designed for light showers. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, it may not offer sufficient protection. It is primarily a windbreaker with water-resistant properties.

How do I clean the windbreaker?

Always refer to the care label on the product. Generally, it is recommended to machine wash cold with similar colors, avoiding fabric softeners, and to air dry. Do not iron at high temperatures.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean?

Recycled polyamide is a material produced from pre-consumer or post-consumer waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. Using it helps conserve resources and reduce waste, making the garment more sustainable.

How does the packable feature work?

The jacket is designed to be folded and stowed neatly into its own back pocket. This makes it incredibly convenient for travel or for carrying in a bag when not in use.

What is the length of the jacket?

This model is described as having a 'long' length.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This is a windbreaker, meaning it's designed to block wind and light rain. It is not insulated for warmth and is best suited for mild to cool weather, layered over warmer clothing if needed.

What sizes are available?

This product is available in various adult sizes, including S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL, as indicated by variant information.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not completely waterproof.

This jacket is designed for wind protection and light showers. For heavy or prolonged rain, consider additional waterproof gear. Ensure the zipper is fully closed and the hood is adjusted properly.

Difficulty folding the jacket into its pocket.

Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry. Lay it flat, smooth out any major wrinkles, and carefully fold it according to the intended pattern for its back pocket. It may take a few tries to master the technique.

Material feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes happen with polyamide. Ensure you followed the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat. Air drying is best.

Zipper is stuck.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or silicone spray on the teeth might help.
