Product Information
Full details
The HOKA SkyFill Insulated Vest is designed for trail runners, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require core warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. By utilizing PrimaLoft ThermoPlume fill in the chest and back paired with stretch-knit side panels, this vest offers an ideal balance of thermal regulation and mobility during high-output cold-weather activities. While its slim-fit design is excellent for layering, users should be aware that it is intended for active pursuits and may require an additional shell in extreme, sustained freezing conditions.

FAQs
Is this vest machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Refer to the care label for specific temperature settings.
Can I wear this while it is raining?
The vest features a water-repellent finish that protects against light rain, but it is not waterproof and may saturate in heavy, prolonged rain.
How does the fit compare to other HOKA gear?
The SkyFill vest features a slim-fit design meant to be worn close to the body for efficiency. If you prefer a looser fit for heavy layering, you may consider sizing up.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, this model includes two external zippered hand pockets for your convenience.
Is the insulation real down?
No, it uses PrimaLoft ThermoPlume, which is a high-performance synthetic alternative that performs better than down when damp.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent coating is no longer beading water.
Apply a spray-on durable water repellent (DWR) treatment after cleaning to restore the hydrophobic finish.
Zipper feels stiff or catches on fabric.
Check for fabric stuck in the zipper guard and ensure no debris is in the track. You can run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate the zipper.
Garment feels less warm than when purchased.
Wash the vest and tumble dry with dryer balls to fluff the synthetic fibers back to their original state.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA SkyFill Insulated Vest maintains its insulating properties and water resistance, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Layering Compatibility: Designed as a performance layer, wear it over base layers or thin fleece shirts. Because it is slim-fitting, it may bunch if worn over bulky sweaters.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water. Use a technical gear detergent if possible to protect the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Including a few clean dryer balls can help redistribute the PrimaLoft ThermoPlume fill, keeping it lofted and warm.
- Storage: Hang the vest in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the garment for long periods in a packed bag to maintain the fill's integrity.
