FAQs

How do I pack the windbreaker into its pocket?

Locate the large back pocket. Turn the jacket inside out and carefully fold it into the pocket, then zip it closed. The jacket is designed to fit snugly within this pocket.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof, offering protection against moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof garment might be necessary. It is ideal for wind and light to moderate rain.

What does '50% recycled polyamide' mean?

It means that at least half of the polyamide (nylon) material used in the jacket is derived from recycled sources, such as pre-consumer or post-consumer waste. This helps conserve resources and reduce environmental impact.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This windbreaker is designed primarily for protection against wind and rain. It offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, it's best layered over warmer clothing like fleeces or sweaters.

What is the length of the jacket?

The product description indicates a 'long' length. This generally means it extends past the hip, potentially covering the upper thighs.

How do I clean the K-Way logo?

Avoid ironing directly on the logo. When washing, ensure the garment is turned inside out if possible. Gentle cleaning methods are recommended to preserve the print.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. You can try gently lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax.

Water repellency seems reduced

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider using a specialized fabric refresher spray designed to restore DWR properties after washing.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can occur if the internal humidity is high. Ensure the back ventilation is open and consider wearing breathable base layers. The jacket's breathability is designed for moderate activity levels.
