FAQs

Is the Gant Light Down Gilet waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it can shed light water in cold weather conditions, but it is not waterproof and will soak through in heavy rain.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, but use a delicate cycle and a specialized down-safe detergent to avoid damaging the feathers.

What does the 90/10 fill ratio mean?

It indicates the vest is filled with 90% down and 10% feathers, which provides the optimal balance of lightweight warmth and structure.

Is the polyester recycled?

Yes, the garment is crafted from certified recycled polyester.

How should I store this vest for the season?

Store it hanging in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods as this can affect the down loft over time.

Is the fit true to size?

The gilet features a regular fit, which is generally true to size and designed to accommodate mid-layers underneath.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers are poking through the fabric

This is normal for down products; gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out through the shell.

The gilet has lost its loft after washing

Tumble dry the garment on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the feathers and restore the fluffiness.

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading

The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a garment-safe DWR refreshing spray to the outer shell after cleaning.

Pros and Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy or sustained rainfall

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your gilet remains in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a detergent specifically formulated for down products.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help fluff the down and restore the loft.
  3. Storage: Hang the garment in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain its shape.
  4. Compatibility: The vest fits well over shirts, hoodies, or long-sleeve base layers due to its regular fit design. Always ensure the DWR coating is maintained by using a spray-on water repellent if the garment stops shedding water effectively after multiple washes.
