Product Information
Full details
The HOKA SkyFill Insulated Vest is designed for trail runners, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require targeted warmth during cold-weather activities without the bulk of a heavy jacket. By utilizing PrimaLoft ThermoPlume insulation in the chest and back paired with breathable stretch-knit sides, it provides an excellent balance of thermal regulation and mobility, though users should note it features a slim-fit silhouette that may feel snug for those preferring extra room for layering.

FAQs
Is the HOKA SkyFill Vest waterproof?
The vest is water-resistant thanks to its external coating, which sheds light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I wear this vest for high-intensity workouts?
Yes, the breathable side panels and moisture-wicking properties make it well-suited for high-intensity activities like trail running.
How should I layer with this vest?
Due to its slim fit, it is best worn over a technical base layer or light long-sleeve jersey. It can also serve as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell.
What is PrimaLoft ThermoPlume?
It is a synthetic, down-alternative insulation designed to provide the lightweight warmth and loft of down while remaining effective when wet.
Does the vest have internal pockets?
No, the vest features two external zippered hand pockets for secure storage of small items.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Apply a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the manufacturer's instructions to restore the exterior coating.
Insulation feels clumped after washing
Re-tumble the vest on a low-heat setting with dryer balls to fluff the synthetic fill.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the technical performance of your HOKA SkyFill Insulated Vest, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a technical gear wash if possible to preserve the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the synthetic insulation.
- Avoid Bleach: Never use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-resistant treatment and damage the synthetic fill fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping the vest compressed for extended periods to maintain the loft of the insulation.
