Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Loke Jacket is an essential outer layer for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize portability and reliable weather protection. Featuring Helly Tech Performance technology, it offers a high degree of waterproofing and windproofing while remaining lightweight enough to pack into a small space. While it excels in versatility, users should note that as a 2.5-layer shell, it is designed primarily as a protective barrier against the elements rather than a heavy-duty insulated winter coat.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner.
Does this jacket provide insulation?
No, it is a shell jacket. You should wear layers underneath to provide warmth.
Can I use this for skiing?
It is suitable for light outdoor activity, though it lacks the integrated powder skirts often found in dedicated ski gear.
What does 2.5-layer mean?
It refers to the construction of the fabric: an outer shell, a waterproof membrane, and a protective "half-layer" coating on the inside.
Is the hood helmet-compatible?
The hood is designed for standard head fit; it may not fit over larger climbing or ski helmets.
How do I repair the front zipper?
The jacket features an updated design meant to simplify zipper maintenance. Refer to the manufacturer's specific repair guide if a slider replacement is needed.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be reactivated. Tumble dry the clean jacket on low heat or apply a DWR spray treatment.
Feeling damp inside during high activity
Ensure the underarm ventilation zippers are open and that your base layer is moisture-wicking synthetic or wool, rather than cotton.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Check for fabric caught in the zipper track or debris. Clean the track with a soft brush and apply a dedicated zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its performance, avoid storing it while damp. If the jacket becomes dirty, machine wash it on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear to avoid damaging the membrane. To maintain the waterproof coating, tumble dry on low heat or follow the specific care label instructions. When adjusting the hood, ensure the toggles are pulled evenly on both sides to prevent uneven gaps. The jacket is designed to be compatible with most standard technical mid-layers, but be mindful of bulky fabrics that may restrict movement under the sleeves.
