FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Loke Jacket is designed for changeable weather, offering waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection suitable for rain, wind, and moderate temperatures.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket can be worn in colder weather by layering appropriate insulating garments underneath, such as a fleece or down jacket.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in warm water (40°C) with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What does HELLY TECH mean?
HELLY TECH is Helly Hansen's proprietary waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric technology, designed to keep you dry and comfortable in various outdoor conditions.
Are the jacket's cuffs adjustable?
Yes, the Loke Jacket features fully adjustable cuffs, allowing you to customize the fit and seal out drafts.
Is this jacket suitable for high-intensity activities like running?
While breathable and featuring vents, it's primarily designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. For high-intensity running, specialized running jackets might offer superior breathability and lighter weight.
How do I adjust the hood and waist?
The hood and waist typically have drawcords or velcro adjusters that allow you to tighten them for a secure and personalized fit, sealing out wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof/water-repellent
Ensure the jacket is clean. Residue from detergents or dirt can affect performance. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite not being wet from rain
Ensure the vents are open if you are exerting yourself. The breathability of the fabric works best when there is a temperature difference and airflow. Make sure inner layers are also breathable.
Seams are leaking
Check if the jacket requires seam sealing or re-taping, which is typically not a user-serviceable part for most jackets. Contact customer support if this is a persistent issue not resolved by cleaning.
