FAQs

What does 'packable into its own pocket' mean?

It means the jacket can be folded and stuffed into one of its own zippered pockets, becoming a very compact item that is easy to carry in a bag or pocket.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a 10,000mm water column rating and DWR treatment, making it suitable for light to moderate rain and keeping you dry in showers. For prolonged, heavy downpours, a heavier-duty waterproof jacket might be more appropriate.

What is the material made of?

The jacket is made from 100% polyamide, with at least 50% of this being recycled polyamide. The fabric is a micro ripstop 4.0, designed to be water-repellent, windproof, and breathable.

How do I care for the jacket to maintain its water repellency?

Follow the specific care instructions on the label, generally avoiding fabric softeners and high heat. Reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, as recommended by DWR product manufacturers, can help restore water repellency.

Is this jacket unisex?

Yes, the K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0 Jacket is described as a unisex design, suitable for both men and women.

What size should I choose?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. The jacket has a regular fit. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath when choosing your size.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully waterproof after washing.

Ensure you are following the specific washing instructions. Avoid fabric softeners and detergents that can degrade the water-repellent treatment. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary, following the product's instructions.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any caught fabric. If the zipper still sticks, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can occur in very humid conditions or during high-intensity activity. Ensure the hood and hem are adjusted to allow for maximum ventilation. The jacket is designed to be breathable, but extreme conditions may test its limits.
