Featuring HELLY TECH Protection technology, it keeps you dry and comfortable during wet commutes or casual outings while maintaining a breathable, modern aesthetic. While it offers excellent performance in everyday city environments, it is primarily designed for urban use rather than extreme mountain conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
The Vika Jacket is a shell; it provides excellent wind and rain protection, but it does not have heavy insulation. It is best suited for fall, spring, or layering over a mid-layer during mild winter days.
Can I remove the hood completely?
Yes, the hood is removable, allowing you to customize the jacket's look depending on the weather and your preference.
Is the fabric machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend following the specific care instructions on the interior garment tag, typically using a gentle cycle and avoiding bleach.
What does bluesign certified mean?
It means the product was manufactured in a way that minimizes environmental impact and focuses on safe, sustainable chemical use.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zippered to provide secure storage, but they are designed to protect against rain; we still recommend keeping sensitive electronics in a dry bag during extreme downpours.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt and apply a technical garment DWR treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Clean the zipper tracks of any grit or dust. You can use a small amount of zipper lubricant or run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to smooth the operation.

- Breathable material prevents overheating during active commutes
- Reflective elements enhance safety in urban environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a ready-to-wear piece, there is no setup required beyond adjusting the removable hood to your preference. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the HELLY TECH fabric, ensure you wash the jacket using mild detergents and avoid harsh softeners. Periodically checking the YKK zippers for debris will ensure they remain smooth. If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, you may apply a standard durable water repellent (DWR) spray to restore the outer layer's performance.
