K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0 Windbreaker - Grey - L

'Le Vrai Claude' is a K-Way model name, and '4.0' indicates it is the fourth major iteration of this design, featuring technological updates.

The jacket is water-repellent with a 10,000mm water column rating, meaning it can withstand moderate rain. It is not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.

The jacket is designed to be folded inward into one of its own front pockets. Start by folding the sleeves inwards, then fold the body of the jacket in half, and finally tuck it into the designated pocket until it forms a compact pouch.

Using recycled polyamide helps conserve resources, reduces waste, and lowers the environmental impact compared to virgin polyamide production.

This windbreaker is designed for protection against wind and light rain. It is not insulated for significant cold. For colder weather, it can be layered over warmer clothing like fleece or down.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.

Yes, the jacket offers good breathability (10,000g/m²/24h), making it suitable for activities like running or cycling where temperature regulation is important. However, for extreme exertion in heavy rain, a more specialized waterproof jacket might be necessary.

Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear. Follow the product instructions carefully. Ensure the garment is clean before application.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is dry, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.

Ensure the garment is clean. Dirt and residue can clog the fabric's pores. Wash according to care instructions. Check the ventilation cut-out on the back for any obstructions.
