FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The K-Way Jack Stretch Windbreaker is water-repellent, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. It is not designed for heavy downpours.
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The outer shell is made of 95% Nylon and 5% Elastane, providing stretch and weather resistance. It features a cotton jersey lining (Lining A) and a 100% Nylon lining (Lining B).
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Iron on a cool setting with a cloth barrier. Professional dry cleaning is also an option.
Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?
Due to its slim fit, it is best layered with lighter items like t-shirts or thin sweaters. Wearing very thick layers underneath may restrict movement.
What does 'heat-taped seams' mean?
Heat-taped seams are seams that have been sealed with tape during manufacturing. This process helps to prevent water from penetrating the garment through the needle holes, enhancing its water-repellent properties.
Does the hood adjust?
Yes, the hood is adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against wind and light rain.
Are there pockets for my phone and keys?
Yes, the jacket features two zipped pockets, providing secure storage for small personal items.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. If the slim fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider alternative sizing or styles that offer a more relaxed fit.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Check that all seams are properly heat-taped and that the fabric has not been damaged. Re-evaluate the 'water-repellent' capability against heavy rainfall; this jacket is best suited for light precipitation.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.
Reduced breathability.
Confirm that the ventilation holes at the back are not blocked. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and residue can impede airflow.
