K-way: parkas and jackets

A leading waterproof jacket since the 1960s, K-Way has transformed a technical garment into an iconic everyday piece. Originally from France, the brand offers a wide range of jackets for adults and children. Discover the K-Way Action and K-Way le Vrai collections for men, women, and children on Snowleader! Whether you're looking for a lightweight jacket for a spring downpour, a warm parka for winter, or a versatile coat for all seasons, our K-Way collections combine heritage and modernity.

The history and DNA of K-Way

The K-Way adventure began in Paris in 1965, under the leadership of Léon-Claude Duhamel.

Faced with a downpour, he saw passersby struggling, juggling their umbrellas or trying to put on their raincoats. It was at this moment that he imagined the very first foldable, ultra-light windbreaker that could be stored in a small belt bag. This ingenious folding system immediately won over city dwellers and became the brand's DNA.

K-Way is also recognizable by its logo and colors. The distinctive blue, yellow, and red stripes embellish each piece. Over the decades, men's rain jackets, women's rain jackets and children's jacket have been enriched with technical fabrics that reflect the innovative K-Way spirit. Their materials are rigorously selected to provide reliable protection against the elements, minimize bulk, and remain stylish.

K-Way now offers a complete range of men's rain jackets, women's rain jackets, and parkas that benefit from a high level of technicality and the unique style of the French brand. K-Way rainwear features a breathable membrane, heat-sealed seams, and anti-tear ripstop nylon. In terms of style, the fitted cuts are there, and the K-Way screen print, clearly visible, gives the garment its identity.

K-Way's strengths

Whether you're looking for a women's jacket, a men's jacket, or a children's jacket, K-Way products are unique. They draw on the brand's expertise to meet its commitments.

The main advantage of the K-Way brand is its waterproofness. Technical membranes and fabrics such as Nylon Ripstop and Laminated Polyester provide optimal protection against the rain. Heat-sealed seams guarantee total waterproofing, to keep you dry, whatever the weather.

K-Way's other strength is its compact, lightweight clothing. Your K-Way hooded jacket folds completely into its waist pack to form a small, ultra-light package. It slips easily into your backpack or sports bag to stay close at hand, allowing you to be ready for an unexpected downpour.

K-Way is also a style with modern cuts and varied colors (black, beige, khaki, pink, blue, white, etc.) and iconic details.

K-Way pieces are highly versatile. They easily adapt to both casual and sophisticated looks. The men's and women's collections perfectly combine functionality and aesthetics.
