FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers a 10,000mm water column, which is suitable for moderate to light rain. For very heavy or prolonged downpours, additional rain gear might be necessary.

How do I know if I need a size up or down?

The jacket has a unisex fit. It is recommended to check the specific size chart provided by K-Way and measure yourself. Consider whether you plan to wear it over thicker layers; if so, sizing up might be beneficial.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean for the jacket?

It means the polyamide material used in the jacket is derived from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, conserving resources and reducing the environmental impact compared to virgin materials.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This is primarily a windbreaker designed for protection against wind and water. For cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating clothing like fleece or a down jacket.

How durable is the ripstop fabric?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. This makes the jacket durable for everyday use and outdoor activities.

How should I wash the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cold (30°C) and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the fabric and its water-repellent properties. Always refer to the specific care label.

What are the dimensions when the jacket is packed?

The jacket packs into one of its own pockets, becoming very compact. While exact dimensions vary based on size, it is designed to be easily carried in a backpack or large pocket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not shedding water effectively

Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment product specifically designed for technical outerwear if water is no longer beading on the surface. Check that the care instructions have been followed, as improper washing can affect water repellency.

Jacket feels less breathable than expected

Verify that the ventilation cut-out on the back is not obstructed. Ensure the jacket is not overloaded with interior layers that could impede airflow. Clean any potential debris from the fabric which might affect breathability.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Jacket feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the hood drawstring and the bottom hem drawcord for a more tailored fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consult the size chart and consider exchanging for a different size if available, as the unisex design may require careful sizing.
