FAQs
Is the K-Way Valen Stretch vest fully waterproof?

Does the vest run true to size?
It is designed as a slim-fit garment. If you prefer to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider this fit profile carefully.
Can I put this vest in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to avoid tumble drying to prevent damage to the heat-taped seams and the integrity of the nylon fabric. Always air dry.
What is the primary material used?
The vest is constructed from durable, high-stretch nylon, designed for both flexibility and resistance to the elements.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the zipped pockets are designed to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and personal items.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Reapply a specialized waterproof spray treatment for synthetic fabrics.
Zip feels stiff or sticks during operation
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of dry lubricant or graphite if necessary.
Visible wrinkles or creases in the nylon
Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom or use a low-heat steamer. Never use a hot iron directly on the nylon fabric.
