Product Information
Full details
The HOKA SkyFlow Wind Jacket is an essential outer layer for trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts who need lightweight, adaptable protection against unpredictable weather. Designed for those who value gear that can be quickly stowed or worn on the move, this jacket offers reliable wind and water resistance without adding bulk. While it provides excellent protection during high-output activities, it is primarily a wind-resistant shell and should not be considered a heavy-duty waterproof rain coat for severe storms.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The SkyFlow Wind Jacket is water-resistant, meaning it will protect you from light rain and mist, but it is not seam-sealed for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this while cycling?
While designed for trail running, its wind-resistant properties make it an excellent emergency layer for cycling as well.
How do I use the hand-carry elastic bands?
Simply slip your hand through the integrated elastic bands located on the cuff or sleeves to hold the jacket securely while running without gripping it.
Does it have pockets for keys or cards?
The jacket focuses on a minimalist design, primarily utilizing its packing pocket for storage.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle with a mild detergent and air dry; do not bleach or iron.
Is the hood adjustable?
The scuba-style hood is designed for a snug, secure fit without the need for manual drawstrings.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less water-resistant after washing
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off; consider using a technical fabric re-proofer spray.
Zipper is sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track, then gently clean the track with a soft brush to remove any trail grit or dirt.
Difficulty packing into the pocket
Ensure you are folding the jacket neatly rather than stuffing it; follow the internal seam lines to collapse it into the pocket smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket lasts, always pack it using its dedicated storage pocket to prevent unnecessary wrinkling or fabric stress. The jacket is compatible with most standard hydration vests, sliding easily into front or rear pockets. When washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can compromise the wind and water-resistant finish of the technical fabric. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or tumble dryers, to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
