Product Information

Full details

The K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0 Jacket is designed for adults seeking reliable protection against wind and rain without compromising on style or portability. Its key benefit is being highly weather-resistant and exceptionally packable, making it ideal for travel or unpredictable weather. A minor caveat is its minimalist design, which may not offer extensive features for extreme conditions. This unisex jacket features innovative recycled nylon ripstop fabric, heat-bonded seams for superior insulation, and a water-repellent, windproof, and breathable construction, all while folding down into one of its own pockets.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof or water-repellent?

The jacket features a 10,000mm water column and DWR treatment, classifying it as highly water-repellent and capable of handling significant rainfall. It is not seam-sealed, so in extreme, prolonged downpours, some water may eventually penetrate.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

Turn one of the jacket's side pockets inside out. Place the folded jacket into this pocket, then zip the pocket closed to secure it. It becomes a compact package for easy carrying.

What does 'breathable' mean for this jacket?

Breathability (10,000g/m²/24h) means the jacket allows perspiration vapor to escape from the inside, helping to regulate your body temperature and prevent you from feeling overly sweaty during activity.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket is primarily designed for wind and rain protection. While it offers some insulation due to its windproof nature and taped seams, it is lightweight. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell over insulating layers.

What is the advantage of using recycled polyamide?

Using recycled polyamide helps conserve natural resources, reduces waste, and lowers the environmental impact compared to producing virgin polyamide. It allows for the creation of durable, high-performance fabrics with a reduced ecological footprint.

How should I clean my K-Way jacket?

Always refer to the product's care label. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry the jacket; do not put it in a machine dryer.

What does 'MPN' stand for in the product details?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number, which is a unique identifier for the specific product model.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof.

Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary. Check that all zippers are fully closed and the heat-taped seams are intact.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently try to clear any debris around the zipper teeth. You can use a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to help it slide smoothly.

Jacket feels clammy or overly warm.

This can happen during high-intensity activity. Ensure the ventilation cut-out on the back is open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath.

Color fading or material degradation.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and follow the specific washing and drying instructions on the care label. Do not use harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The K-Way Le Vrai Claude 4.0 Jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. To pack it, turn one of the pockets inside out, place the jacket within it, and zip it closed.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as unisex apparel suitable for adults. Its sizing follows standard generic apparel sizing (e.g., S, M, L).

Care: Adhere strictly to the care instructions on the product label for optimal longevity. Generally, it is made of 100% polyamide, with at least 50% recycled polyamide. It is recommended to wash according to the label, typically on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's water-repellent properties. Air drying is preferable to machine drying.
