The Helly Hansen Men's Loke Jacket packs into its pocket so you can take waterproof protection on all your outdoors adventures. Helly Tech Performance pairs a waterproof, breathable membrane with a quick-drying interior to keep you comfortably dry in rainy weather and sweaty ascents. Fully taped seams enhance waterproofing by preventing raindrops from seeping through. Helly Hansen also equipped the Loke with zippers under each arm for ventilation and a fully adjustable hood for secure coverage.
Got into it in the rain a few times and the sleeves instantly get wet through. My shoulders are wet in 20 minutes. Have to take waterproof poncho all the time. Donât go camping with it. But looks good and protects from wind.
It is not for the backcountry - not if you consider that staying dry can be a life/death situation anyway. The ability to stay dry is no longer a "nice to have" if one is over 10 miles from the car - it is a requirement and this jacket fails that.
It easily wets out in downpours and the zippers jam perfectly every damn time when the fabric is wet - possibly the WORST time a rain jacket could jam. And it does it every time.
The hood is too shallow front to back; the cuff velcro threading comes unraveled easily; does not breathe well at all - even in quite mild 40-50F temps.
Basically, it has been replaced because this is not a tool I want to trust my life with in the backcountry. If you want a good looking jacket to run around town in - this is your jacket. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
Because its so light weight and packs down to nothing, I pretty much take it everywhere I go. I coach on Mt Hood in the summer in the heat, rain, wind, snow...sometimes on the same day. This is the go to crazy PNW Mt Hood weather jacket.
I am a fly fishing guide in Colorado all summer and need to have a reliable rain jacket that I can store in my small pack. This jacket has been perfect for just that. I can fold the jacket up very small and I don't even notice that it is in my fishing bag or backpack. Not only is is very lightweight and packable but it is very good at doing what it was made for, keeping you dry. I have used the Loke Jacket in monsoon downpours and always been dry. I definitely recommend this product and for $100 you can go wrong.
Living and training in Seattle, I've had ample opportunities to put rain jackets through the ringer, and this one proved worthy. It's lightweight so I can comfortably wear it on a trail run or peak ascent without being bothered by bulk, and it packs down into a fraction of its size to allow for easy storage in a running pack or similar small bag. On top of that, i'll happily wear it around town as a normal rain coat and its fit allows for a good style, especially in these rain-centric parts of the world...
Help – the boiler’s packed up, find me a heating engineer! Hopefully, it’s a position you won’t find yourself in too often.
But if you are experiencing any of the following faults to the heating system in your home, then I am primed to come to your aid:

I operate extensively in the surrounding areas of West Sussex and into Hampshire, taking in Petersfield, Midhurst, Petworth, Arundel, Bognor Regis, Selsey and all the outlying villages in between.
Whilst it can be frustrating and stressful, a boiler breakdown needn’t necessarily mean you’ll require a whole new system. Often, there’s a simple reason and a straightforward solution as to why the problem has arisen.
But whatever the nature of the fault, regardless of make and however old the equipment may be, you have the peace of mind that I am Gas Safe Registered (the official industry body that replaced CORGI in 2009). This means I am qualified and accredited to work safely and legally on all makes of domestic natural gas and LPG boilers, cookers and all other gas appliances in the home. This includes:

In addition to providing top quality workmanship, I take great pride in offering an honest and reliable service. I won’t overspec or recommend repair work which is totally unnecessary. That said, some repairs are straightforward, others are more challenging. And where it’s necessary to go the extra mile to fix the job properly, then that’s exactly the level of service you can expect.
Modern boilers and heating systems are usually very reliable. But when a fault does occur – and it always seems to be at the most inappropriate time – you need to be reassured that expert and cost effective help is close at hand.
So anytime you need a qualified engineer to fix the problem, call me, on 07843 570302 and I'll ensure your troublesome gas boiler or under-performing central heating system is soon fully operational.
We've been hatching some of our own chicks since December of 2017. We recently had a hatch where one of the chicks took an extra amount of time coming out of the egg. We worried but let her do her thing before stepping in. She hatched and was weak and we noticed something was wrong with her leg.
After some researching we found that she had splay leg. We did the band and left it on what was said for the amount of time suggested. We took it off and it was not fixed. The tendon was in the right spot. We made sure of that. So we put the elastic back on and waited more time. When we took it off, still no luck. Her leg dragged to the side. So we decided that our little chicken called Precious was going to be an inside chicken. She would be constantly picked on outside.
Again we put the elastic back on and this time we left it. She and two other chicks get little field trips outside to enjoy the bugs, grass and air. They are about 2 months old now. I just brought them and one younger chick out and realized that the band was cutting into her leg. I immediately took it off and Precious is walking. She will take a few steps...her leg slips out, she pulls it in. I have to tell you that this brought a tear to my eye because I love my chickens....especially this little bugger.
Aww, she's CUTE! You may want to give her some PolyVisol baby vitamins without the iron or some Nutri Drench, she could have some vitamin deficiency. Glad she's doing better, she/he is a CUTE one too
Does anyone know where I can taken my chickens for processing/slaughter have 7 no longer laying live in greenfield center ny
