Is the K-way Joachim actually waterproof?

Yes. The shell is waterproof elastic nylon with taped seams, and the covered zipper keeps rain out of the front. It handles steady rain better than a water-resistant fashion jacket.

It has an insulating membrane and a micropile lining, so it works for mild seasons and cool mornings. It is not a winter coat; deep cold needs a heavier layer underneath or a different jacket.

How does the fit run?

K-way describes it as a slim-fit short jacket. If you want room for a sweater, consider sizing up or checking the brand's measurements.

What pockets does it have?

Two zippered hand pockets and one internal zip pocket. The covered front zipper gives a clean look.

Can I wear it for hiking or heavy activity?

It is a casual city jacket, not technical outdoor gear. The micropile lining traps heat, so it is better for commuting and walking than for hard exertion.
