Product Information
Full details
The K-Way Arsene Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, stylish, and functional outerwear piece for transitional weather. Its key benefit lies in its reversible, dual-material design offering two distinct looks and varying levels of protection. A potential caveat is its slim fit, which may not suit all body types or layering preferences. This jacket features a waterproof, windproof, and breathable nylon outer shell on one side and a shiny water-repellent nylon on the reverse, heat-sealed seams, a non-detachable hood, adjustable hem, zip fastening, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and multiple pockets.

FAQs
Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The K-Way Arsene Jacket is designed for transitional seasons (spring and autumn) and offers protection against wind and rain. It provides limited insulation and is not intended as a heavy winter coat. For colder weather, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash the jacket at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Can I wear both sides of the jacket outwards?
Yes, the jacket is fully reversible. One side features a waterproof, windproof, and breathable nylon, while the other side is a shiny water-repellent nylon with a contrasting color.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% Nylon. One side is coated nylon, and the other is plain nylon.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is non-detachable but features a drawcord for adjustment.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features a total of four pockets: two zipped pockets and two snap button pockets.
What does 'heat-sealed seams' mean for the jacket's performance?
Heat-sealed seams mean that the stitching lines are sealed with tape to prevent water from penetrating through the needle holes, enhancing the jacket's waterproof and windproof capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a tiny bit of wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Water repellency seems reduced
Follow the care instructions for washing. After washing, you can reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for nylon garments, following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Seam tape is peeling or damaged
Minor peeling might be fixable with fabric glue designed for outdoor gear. For significant damage, professional repair is recommended to maintain waterproof integrity.
Fit is too snug for layering
Consider wearing lighter layers underneath. If a looser fit is consistently desired, explore larger sizes or alternative jacket styles that offer a more relaxed cut.
