Le Vrai Claude 4.0 - XL

The jacket has a 10,000mm water column rating and is waterproof and water-repellent, making it excellent for moderate rain. For prolonged heavy downpours, additional protection might be needed.

This is a short-length windbreaker, meaning it typically ends around the hip area.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need refreshing. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and tumble dry on a low heat for 15 minutes to reactivate the treatment. If performance is still low, a DWR re-proofer can be applied following product instructions.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to free the material. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes help lubricate the zipper teeth.

Ensure the ventilation cut-out on the back is clear of obstruction. If the jacket has been washed without proper rinsing, detergent residue can affect breathability; try an extra rinse cycle.
