FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the K-Way Claude Jacket?

The K-Way Claude Jacket is designed as a lightweight, packable windbreaker for transitional seasons, offering protection against rain and wind while providing light insulation.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket features lightweight Prima Loft insulation and is best suited for mild to cool temperatures or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, additional insulation layers would be necessary.

How do I know if I should use a recycled polyamide fabric?

The jacket's shell is made with at least 50% recycled polyamide, a sustainable choice that conserves resources and reduces waste without compromising performance.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the hood is a fixed feature of the jacket, designed with an adjustable elastic cord for a secure fit.

What does 'waterproof (10,000 mm)' mean?

A waterproof rating of 10,000 mm indicates that the fabric can withstand 10,000 millimeters of water pressure before it begins to leak. This is generally considered good for moderate rain.

How should I wash the jacket to preserve its water repellency?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Reapply DWR treatment periodically.

What are the dimensions and fit like?

The jacket has a regular fit and a short length, with elasticated cuffs and an adjustable hem for a customizable silhouette.

Does the jacket have any internal pockets?

Yes, besides two external zip pockets, the K-Way Claude Jacket also features an internal pocket for securing valuables.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket feels clammy or damp inside.

This could be due to insufficient breathability or condensation. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that the ventilation, if any, is open.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Verify that the seams are properly taped. Minor wear may occur over time; consult the manufacturer for repair options if significant damage is visible.
