Product Information

Full details

The K-Way Claude short jacket is designed for adults seeking versatile, weather-resistant outerwear that packs down small. Its key benefit is excellent protection against wind and rain without adding bulk, making it ideal for travel or unpredictable weather. A potential caveat is its unisex sizing, which may require careful consideration for a perfect fit. This jacket features advanced recycled ripstop nylon fabric with superior waterproofing and breathability, thermo-glued seams for enhanced insulation, and a design that allows it to be stored in its own pocket.

FAQs

What does '10K waterproofing' mean?

10K waterproofing refers to the fabric's ability to withstand a water column of 10,000 millimeters before it begins to leak. It indicates a good level of protection against moderate to heavy rain.

How does the packable design work?

The jacket is designed to be folded neatly into one of its own front pockets. This allows it to become a compact bundle, easy to carry in a bag or backpack without taking up much space.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

The Claude jacket provides windproof and water-resistant protection, with some insulation from its sealed seams. However, it is primarily designed as a shell layer and is not intended for extreme cold without additional warm layers underneath.

Can I wear this jacket over a bulky sweater?

The jacket has a regular fit. While it can accommodate a light to medium-weight layer underneath, wearing it over very bulky items might feel restrictive due to its design as a functional, lightweight shell.

What is DWR treatment?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the material dry and maintain its breathability.

How do I wash the jacket to preserve its features?

Follow the specific care instructions: wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, and do not dry clean. Washing separately and protecting accessories is also recommended.

What does 'MPN' stand for?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number, which is a unique identifier for the product assigned by the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water-repellent.

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear after washing according to care instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. A small amount of wax can be applied if needed.

Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain.

This could be due to insufficient breathability. Ensure the ventilation cut-out on the back is not obstructed and consider if the internal humidity is from perspiration.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Verify that the thermo-glued seams are intact. If there is visible damage, contact customer support as this may affect waterproofing.
