FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The SkyFlow is wind- and water-resistant, meaning it provides excellent protection against light rain and wind, but it is not a fully seam-sealed waterproof rain shell.
How do I pack the jacket into its own pocket?
The jacket is designed with an integrated internal pocket. Simply fold the jacket into that specific pocket compartment and zip it closed.
Can I wear this during winter?
The jacket acts as a shell. It is suitable for winter if layered correctly with thermal base layers, but it does not provide significant insulation on its own.
Does it come in different sizes?
Yes, the SkyFlow Wind Jacket is available in various sizes from S to XL depending on the specific colorway and inventory.
What is the best way to clean it?
Use a gentle, technical outdoor gear wash in cold water and allow it to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Water resistance seems to be failing
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reapplied after heavy use; consult a DWR revitalizing spray.
Fabric snagged on a trail branch
Gently smooth the fabric back into place. For larger tears, use a dedicated technical gear patch kit to prevent further fraying.
Jacket feels damp inside during intense activity
While the jacket is wind-resistant, breathability is finite. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers to manage internal sweat production.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup for the SkyFlow is straightforward: simply zip up for full coverage or stow it into its internal pocket when conditions improve. It is compatible with almost all HOKA hydration vests and most standard running packs.
To ensure the longevity of the water-resistant coating and the integrity of the fabric:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a technical fabric cleaner.
- Drying: Air dry only to preserve the structural integrity of the specialized fibers.
- Storage: Avoid leaving the jacket compressed in its pocket for long periods; store it hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and fabric degradation.
