GANT Quilted Windcheater Jacket - Blue - 36

No, the Gant Quilted Windcheater Jacket features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will repel light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

This jacket is insulated with recycled polyester padding, making it suitable for transitional seasons like autumn and spring, or milder winter days. For very cold temperatures or harsh winter conditions, you would likely need to layer it with warmer garments or opt for a heavier winter coat.

Always check the care label first. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help fluff the padding.

The jacket is described as having a 'regular fit.' For the best fit, we recommend consulting the specific size chart provided by Gant, as individual preferences for fit can vary. If you plan to layer heavily, you might consider sizing up.

Recycled polyester padding is an insulating material made from recycled plastic bottles or other post-consumer waste. It provides warmth and loft similar to new polyester, but with a reduced environmental impact.

Store the jacket by hanging it on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can flatten the padding and reduce its insulating properties.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time or with washing. After cleaning the jacket according to care instructions, apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for polyester fabrics. Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dry before applying.

This can happen if the padding dries unevenly. Tumble dry the jacket on a very low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This will help break up clumps and fluff the recycled polyester padding back to its original state.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, try lubricating the zipper. You can use a graphite pencil to rub on the teeth, a specialized zipper lubricant, or even a small amount of bar soap. Work the zipper up and down gently to distribute the lubricant.

For minor snags, gently try to pull the loose thread back into the fabric from the inside. For small tears, a fabric repair patch designed for polyester outerwear can be used. For larger damage, professional repair may be necessary.
