Waterproof Jackets
Picking The Best Jacket For You![K-Way x Comme Des Garcons Jacket]()
Waterproof jackets are a hot commodity in today’s world. Following the recent gorp-core movement there has been an overwhelming influx of new styles arriving on online stores and retailers across the globe, so it can be a bit tricky narrowing down the right jacket for your day-to-day life. The easiest way to guarantee you’re making the best choice is to look out for the following three key features:
1. Is it actually waterproof? – Does the jacket you’re potentially going to buy arrive with a nylon or polyester construction, with taped seams and a variety of adjustable features to keep you dry.
2. How warm do you need it to be? – It’s all well and good grabbing a new jacket, but if rain is the only element it protects you from then its still not going to be ideal for everyday wear. Think about the weight and warmth it needs to be, and consider whether you may opt to layer other garments underneath, such as a hoodie or gilet.
3. Is it versatile? – Ideally you want a jacket with the ability to adapt as you traverse different surroundings and environments. Bonus points for adjustable draw-cords, handy pockets, pack-ability and more.
KWAY Jackets
Looking To The Brand That Does It Best
Back in 1965, a man named Leon Claude Duhamel observed the streets of Paris as passers-by struggled to cope with wind and rain under their raincoats and umbrella’s. Even worse though, was the conundrum of what to do with the wet coat or umbrella once the weather had dried up.
His solution? A lightweight waterproof jacket that folds into itself for easy carry. The result? K-Way.
Problem solved right? Just head over to our K-Way category and just grab any jacket you like a look of… Well, not quite. While you cant go wrong with any K-Way piece, you really want to narrow down to the exact type of jacket that will cover all bases in your everyday life. K-Way produce three main styles, the Le-Vrai, Le-Vrai Warm and Le-Vrai Heavy. Lets have a look t all three and find the perfect style for your lifestyle.
K-Way Le Vrai 3.0 Claude Jacket
The Light One…
The original style, this jacket is ultra-lightweight with a durable nylon construction. It is unlined and features taped seams, an elasticated cuff and adjustable hood and hemline. Two zipped pockets make an appearance on the garments body to offer on the go storage. Storage too, for the jacket as it packs into its own bag on the left-hand side.
K-Way Le Vrai 3.0 Claude Warm Jacket
The Mid-weight One…![KWay Le Vrai Warm Jacket]()
Still fairly lightweight in comparison to most jackets, but what it lacks in weight it certainly delivers in warmth thanks to its padded down fill. This jacket is ideal for those who prefer a warmer outerwear piece, with the ability to layer underneath it in the colder Winter seasons. Like the two other jackets in this list, it packs into itself for easy transport.
K-Way Le Vrai 3.0 Claude Heavy Jacket
The Big One…
This is the jacket that you look to when you want to be toasty. All of the time. And it’s still made using waterproof materials and boasts a voluminous down fill. Now you might be thinking that this style mightn’t be able to pack into itself given its size, but you’d be wrong. Granted, it packs up a little larger than most but that’s to be expected, plus for the travellers out there, its packed size is about the shape of a camping pillow so its a two-for-one. Win-win.
