Product Information
Full details
The Gant Light Down Jacket is an essential, versatile layering piece for men who need a reliable, lightweight insulation solution for year-round wear. Constructed from certified recycled polyester with a high-quality 90/10 down-to-feather ratio, this jacket offers excellent warmth-to-weight performance and a water-repellent finish; however, while it handles light weather conditions effectively, it is designed for layering rather than use as a heavy-duty waterproof outer shell in severe storms.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent thanks to a DWR treatment, which helps it shed light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I wear this as a winter jacket?
It works well for mild winter days or as a layering piece under a thicker coat during extreme cold.
What is the ratio of down to feathers?
The jacket is filled with 90% down and 10% feathers.
How should I clean the jacket?
It should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with down-safe detergent and tumble dried on low heat with dryer balls.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The jacket features external angled welt pockets; check the specific interior lining for any additional stash pockets depending on the manufacturing run.
Is the material sustainable?
Yes, the jacket is constructed from certified recycled polyester.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are poking through the fabric.
Small amounts of shedding are normal for down jackets. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside if possible, or gently rub the fabric to realign the weave.
The jacket feels flat or has lost its warmth.
The down may have clumped due to moisture or compression. Tumble dry on a low setting with dryer balls to break up clumps and restore the loft.
Water is no longer beading off the surface.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR revitalizing treatment according to the product manufacturer's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its loft and water-repellent properties, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for down garments.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down and restore loft. Do not air dry flat for extended periods to avoid clumping.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid compressing the jacket in tight storage spaces for long periods as this can damage the down clusters.
- Compatibility: The jacket's regular fit is designed to accommodate standard base layers, such as long-sleeve shirts or thin knit sweaters, without feeling restrictive.
