- Is the Loke Jacket fully waterproof?
- Yes. It uses a 2.5-layer waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane with taped seams, so it handles rain and wind. It is a light shell, not a storm jacket for all-day exposure.
- How does it compare with Helly Hansen's 3-layer shells?
- The Loke is lighter and more packable, but its 2.5-layer build and thinner fabric are less durable and less breathable than the 3-layer jackets higher in the range. Choose the Loke for packing and casual rain, the 3-layer for hard use.
- Does it run small?
- The fit is straight and trim. Many owners suggest sizing up if you plan to wear a fleece or sweater underneath.
- Does it have pit zips?
- No. The Loke relies on the breathable membrane and front zipper rather than underarm ventilation, so it can feel warm on humid days.
- What sizes are available?
- It comes in women's XS through XL, with US size 12 among the options. Check the size chart, since the cut is close-fitting.
- Can it be machine washed?
- Yes, at 40 degrees. Use a technical wash without fabric softener and tumble dry low to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
