Product Information

Full details

This K-Way Claude jacket is designed for young, active children who need reliable protection from the elements without compromising on style. Its key benefit is its exceptional packability and weather resistance, making it ideal for school or outdoor adventures. A potential caveat is that it is specifically sized for children (4Y in this variant). This unisex jacket features 100% recycled micro ripstop nylon fabric, offering 10K water resistance and 10K breathability, with heat-bonded seams for superior wind and rain insulation. It conveniently folds into one of its own pockets for easy transport.

FAQs

What does '10K water resistance' mean?

10K refers to 10,000 mm (millimeters) of water column. This indicates the jacket can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 10,000 mm column of water before it begins to seep through, offering good protection against rain.

What does '10K breathability' mean?

10K breathability, often measured in g/m²/24h, means the fabric allows 10,000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter in a 24-hour period. This allows perspiration to escape, keeping the wearer comfortable.

How do I fold the jacket into its pocket?

Locate one of the two main pockets. Turn the pocket inside out, then carefully fold the jacket into the pocket, smoothing it down until it fits snugly within the pocket's dimensions.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers 10K water resistance, making it suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher water resistance rating might be more appropriate.

Can this jacket be worn over a thick sweater?

The jacket is designed for weather protection and layering. While it can accommodate a light layer, it may be snug over very thick sweaters due to its packable design. Consider sizing up if extensive layering is planned.

How durable is the recycled ripstop fabric?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. The micro ripstop construction provides excellent durability for active children's wear.

What does 'DWR treatment' mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the fabric dry and maintain its performance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear according to product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to clear any fabric caught in the zipper. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure the jacket is not overstretched while zipping.

Jacket feels less breathable.

Ensure the ventilation cut-out on the back is not obstructed. Check for any debris or buildup in the fabric that might affect breathability. Gentle washing according to instructions can help.
