Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the K-Way Claude fully waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it is designed to repel light to moderate rain. It is not classified as fully waterproof for extreme, sustained downpours.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket is designed to fold into itself. Look for the dedicated pocket or storage pouch inside the garment and follow the instructions to invert the jacket into the compartment.
Can I wear this in winter?
This is a lightweight shell and does not contain insulation. It is best used for wind and rain protection, though you can layer it over a thermal mid-layer for warmth.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat to maintain both the fabric and the water-repellent performance.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design to ensure maximum protection and seamless water shielding.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the coating, or consider a fabric-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Clean any debris or grit from the zipper teeth using a soft brush. If it remains stiff, lightly apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no formal setup. To pack the jacket away, simply utilize the built-in pouch feature usually located within the pocket or integrated hem section. For longevity, always follow the care label instructions: machine wash cold using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-resistant coating over time. Tumble dry on low settings to refresh the water-repellent finish. The jacket is compatible with most base and mid-layer garments, making it easy to adjust your outfit based on the temperature.
