FAQs
What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Loke Terra Micro Jacket is designed for protection against moderate rain and wind. It's ideal for conditions where you need a reliable barrier but not heavy-duty insulation or extreme weather resistance.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket in warm water at 40°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Is the jacket insulated?
No, this is a shell jacket. It provides waterproof and windproof protection but does not have built-in insulation. You can layer it over other clothing for warmth.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
While you can layer it over warm clothing, the jacket itself offers no insulation. It's primarily for protection against the elements, not for warmth on its own in very cold weather.
What does 'PFAS free' mean?
PFAS free means that the jacket has not been treated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals often used in water-repellent finishes but are under scrutiny for environmental and health concerns.
How do I make the jacket more water-repellent if it seems to be failing?
After washing and drying, you can reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish by tumble drying on low heat. If needed, reapply a commercial DWR treatment following the product's instructions.
What does 'fully seam sealed' mean?
Fully seam sealed means that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket have been covered with tape. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes where the fabric was sewn together, ensuring the jacket's waterproof integrity.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof or water beads are not forming on the surface.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may need to be reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat for about 20 minutes to reactivate the existing DWR. If performance is still lacking, use a DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside, despite being dry.
This can indicate a need for better ventilation. Open the underarm ventilation zippers and adjust the hood and hem to allow for more airflow. Ensure you are not overheating by wearing too many layers underneath for the current conditions.
