Hi Russel
Yes, we do repairs on our jackets. Please take it to your nearest store and they will send it to the K-Way factory.

Hi there.
K-lite jackets are more suitable for chilly autumn, spring, and summer nights.
If you purchase it, we recommend you layer warm underneath. Otherwise, jackets with 650 Fill-Power and higher are more adequate for Jozi winter.

Hi there,

To wash your jacket please follow the below steps:

You will need:

1. Storm Down Cleaner

2. Storm Down Proofer

3. 2 Tennis Balls

4. Tumble Dryer

5. Front Loader Washing Machine or Top loaders without the centre agitator.

Step 1: Set the washing machine to Delicate and use cold water on a long soak cycle. You can also choose to handwash instead.

Step 2: Pour a cap of Storm Down Cleaner into the detergent compartment and a cap of Storm Down Proofer in the fabric softener compartment. Start the cycle. Wash the jacket alone, to prevent the material from catching on another garment.

Step 3: To dry, place the down jacket in a tumble dryer and add the 2 tennis balls. The tennis balls will assist with evenly dispersing the down feathers to avoid clumping.

Step 4: Tumble dry for 15 – 20 mins at a time. It will take some time to dry fully. Take out and smooth out on a flat surface to ensure there are no clumps. Ensure that the down jacket is fully dry inside and outside.

Note: Down-filled materials can rip easily when wet, so it’s important to take care of anything that could catch or pull during the washing process.

1. Close all zippers

2. Close all buttons

3. Close all Velcro fasteners

4. Secure flaps

5. Remove items from the pockets and secure the pockets

Hi Michael
We use 65g 80/20 600fill power Duck Down.
Please note that this jacket was not designed for winter conditions. It is more suitable for autumn, spring and chilly summer nights.

Hi there.

The K-Lite Down Jacket is water-repellent. Meaning water cannot easily go through the outer material.

Hi there.
It will depend on how you layer your clothes under the jacket to keep you warm.

Hi there, It is tough to put a temperature rating on a jacket. Everyone feels the cold differently and we all have different metabolisms. It is also important to use the correct layering system and ensure that your extremities are warm. Some of our customers have used the jacket in minus degrees and were fine, others were cold in temperatures under 10 degrees. The K-Lite jacket was designed as a three-season jacket for autumn, spring, and summer.
