FAQs
What is the primary function of this jacket?
The GANT Hampshire Jacket is designed for transitional weather, offering lightweight protection against light rain and wind, making it suitable for spring and autumn.
Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?
While it offers some protection and can be layered, it is a lightweight jacket and may not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold conditions on its own.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C), use a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.
What does 'water-repellent' mean?
Water-repellent means the fabric has been treated to resist water penetration. It will cause water to bead up and roll off the surface, protecting you from light rain, but it is not waterproof and may not withstand heavy downpours.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The shell is made from a blend of 83% Recycled Polyester and 17% Cotton. The lining is 100% Recycled Polyester.
Does the jacket have internal pockets?
Yes, the jacket features two interior pockets for additional storage.
How do I restore the water-repellent properties if they fade?
You can restore water-repellency by using a specialized re-waterproofing spray or a wash-in treatment after cleaning, following the instructions provided with the treatment product.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and consider using a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a pencil graphite or a specialized zipper lubricant can also help.

To maintain the water-repellent properties and the integrity of the fabric, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C or 86°F).
