FAQs
What makes the Helly Tech® Performance technology effective?
Helly Tech® Performance is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane combined with a durable water-repellent outer fabric and a protective inner lining, designed to keep you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?
If water no longer beads up on the surface of the jacket and instead soaks into the fabric, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment.
What is the advantage of a repairable front zip?
A repairable front zip allows for easier maintenance and extends the lifespan of the jacket. If the zip mechanism fails, it can potentially be fixed or replaced, rather than requiring the entire jacket to be replaced.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The Loke Jacket 2.0 is primarily a shell layer designed for protection against rain and wind. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down to provide warmth.
What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for hiking, trekking, trail running, and general outdoor use where protection from wind and rain is needed, especially in changeable conditions.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in warm water (40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof or water is soaking through.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Underarm vents are not opening or closing smoothly.
Check the zippers for debris or dirt. Gently clean the zipper track with a soft brush and water. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the internal membranes are clean. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Check that underarm vents are open during activity.
