Full details

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a 10,000mm water column and is waterproof and water-repellent, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme downpours, additional rain gear might be recommended.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean?

Recycled polyamide is a synthetic fabric made from post-consumer or post-industrial waste materials, conserving resources and reducing waste compared to virgin polyamide production.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This windbreaker is designed for protection against wind and rain. It features lightweight insulation. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over warmer insulating garments.

How do I know if I need an XL size?

The product description indicates a 'Regular fit'. Refer to a standard sizing chart for K-Way or compare measurements with your existing outerwear. The XL size is specifically for the 'Male' gender in this variant.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the fixed hood features an adjustable drawstring to help you customize the fit and improve protection against wind and rain.

How small does it pack down?

The jacket is designed to be stowed in one of its own pockets, becoming very compact and easy to carry in a bag or backpack.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or K-Way official website for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary by region and vendor.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully waterproof after prolonged use.

Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Ensure seams are intact and clean. Check the care label to ensure washing has not compromised the water-repellent properties.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Gently clean the zipper track with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. If persistent, use a silicone-based lubricant.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the ventilation cut-out on the back is not obstructed. Check that inner layers are not trapping excessive moisture. Clean the jacket as per care instructions to remove any residue that might impede breathability.

Difficulty folding the jacket into its pocket.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to fold. Lay it flat and smooth out wrinkles. Fold it neatly into the designated pocket, starting with the main body.
