K-Way

The trademark K-WAY is owned by the Italian company BasicNet S.p.A.

It was first used for a short raincoat made of nylon created in 1961 in France, Pas-de-Calais.

During the 1980s, all youngsters had a K-way. Small in size, it was slipped on over the head; the trademark is now used to identify a line of small hooded raincoats. It can be folded into a sort of pocket and fastened around the waist with an elastic strap”.
