FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0 is designed as a windbreaker with lightweight insulation. It is ideal for mild to cool conditions and can be layered with warmer clothing for colder temperatures.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket cold and tumble dry on low heat. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean?

Recycled polyamide is a synthetic fabric made from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, reducing the reliance on virgin resources and minimizing waste in landfills. It offers similar performance properties to virgin polyamide.

How small does the jacket pack down?

The jacket is designed to be folded and stowed into one of its two zipped pockets, making it extremely compact and easy to carry in a bag or backpack.

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

The jacket has a water resistance rating of 10,000mm water column and features a DWR treatment and heat-taped seams, providing excellent protection against rain and wind. It is highly water-repellent and suitable for moderate rainfall.

What is the difference between version 3.0 and 4.0?

Version 4.0 utilizes an even more innovative 100% recycled micro ripstop fabric that is enhanced in its weather resistance and breathability compared to previous versions.

Can this jacket be worn by both men and women?

Yes, this is a unisex jacket designed to be suitable for all genders.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear if needed, following product instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before reapplication.

Jacket feels less breathable

Check for blockages in the back ventilation cut-out. Ensure the jacket is not layered too heavily underneath, which can impede airflow. Clean the fabric according to care instructions, as dirt can affect breathability.

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if friction persists.

Seams appear to be leaking

Verify that the heat-taped seams are intact. If damage is suspected, contact customer support. Ensure the garment is correctly sized, as excessive tension can stress seams.
