FAQs
What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The K-Way Claude Jacket is designed for transitional seasons (spring and autumn) and is ideal for light rain, wind, and cool temperatures. It offers protection from moderate weather conditions.
Is the insulation warm enough for winter?
The jacket features lightweight PrimaLoft insulation, which provides warmth for cooler transitional weather. It is generally not sufficient for heavy winter conditions on its own and is best layered with warmer clothing if used in colder temperatures.
How does the waterproofing work?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm, meaning it can withstand a significant amount of water pressure. It also features taped seams and a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to prevent water penetration.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for full details.
How do I make the jacket more waterproof if the DWR wears off?
After washing and drying, you can reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on low heat. For a more robust treatment, you can apply a dedicated DWR spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions.
What does 'packable' mean in relation to this jacket?
Packable means the jacket can be folded or rolled into a very small size, typically fitting into its own pocket or a small pouch. This makes it easy to carry in a bag or backpack when not in use.
What is the fit of the K-Way Claude Jacket?
The jacket has a regular fit, designed to allow for layering underneath without being overly baggy.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the finish. If performance doesn't improve, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
This can occur if the fabric is soiled or the DWR is less effective. Ensure the jacket is clean and that any built-up residue from detergents or softeners has been thoroughly rinsed out. Check that vents or openings are not obstructed.
Hood or hem drawstrings are loose or not holding
Check that the toggle or stopper mechanism on the drawstring is functioning correctly. If it's damaged, it may need replacement.

- Lightweight and highly packable, perfect for on-the-go.

- Durable ripstop nylon construction.
- Adjustable features for a secure and personalized fit.
Cons
- Short length may offer limited coverage in very wet or windy conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The K-Way Claude Jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Adjust the hood and hem drawstrings for a snug fit as needed.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer layer for adult men. It can be layered over lighter clothing such as t-shirts, sweaters, or fleece for added warmth.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede the DWR finish and breathability.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. If tumble drying, a low heat setting can help reactivate the DWR treatment.
- Re-waterproofing: For best results, periodically reapply a DWR treatment (available at outdoor gear retailers) after washing, following the product's instructions.
- Cleaning Pockets: Ensure zip pockets are closed before washing.
