Product Information
Full details
The Gant Quilted Windbreaker is designed for adult men seeking a stylish yet functional outer layer. Its key advantage lies in combining a classic aesthetic with practical water-repellent protection, making it suitable for transitional weather. A potential consideration is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours, and its polyester construction offers moderate warmth.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Gant Quilted Windbreaker features a water-repellent finish, which means it will protect you from light rain and drizzles. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made entirely from polyester, providing durability and ease of care.
Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?
This windbreaker offers moderate warmth due to its quilted structure. For very cold winter weather, it's recommended to wear it as a layering piece over warmer garments, or opt for a heavier winter coat.
How should I clean my Gant Windbreaker?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Prompt removal from the dryer will help minimize wrinkles.
What kind of fit does this jacket have?
The jacket features a regular fit, designed for comfortable wear and allowing for light layering.
Does the jacket have internal pockets?
Info needed: Please refer to the product description or contact customer support for details on internal pockets, as this information is not provided in the current product data.
What type of zipper does it use?
The jacket is equipped with a one-way zipper for its main closure.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears wrinkled after washing.
Ensure you are using the 'Tumble Dry Low' setting and remove the jacket promptly after the drying cycle is complete. Over-drying or leaving it in the dryer can increase wrinkles. Gently shake out and hang immediately.
Water repellency seems to diminish over time.
The water-repellent finish can degrade with wear and washing. You can restore it by applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic outerwear after cleaning. Always follow the instructions on the DWR product.
The snap buttons are difficult to fasten or unfasten.
New snaps can sometimes be stiff. Work them gently several times to loosen them up. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the snap mechanism. If they remain difficult, a very small amount of silicone lubricant applied to the inner workings of the snap might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. For persistent stiffness, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) to the teeth.

Care Instructions
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your windbreaker. Follow these guidelines:
- Machine Wash Cold: Use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the fabric and maintain the jacket's shape and color.
- Tumble Dry Low: Dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the polyester fibers or the water-repellent finish.
- Remove Promptly: To minimize wrinkles, remove the jacket from the dryer as soon as the cycle is complete.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach can degrade the fabric and its special finishes.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing is generally not recommended for this type of quilted polyester garment as it can flatten the quilting or damage the fabric. If absolutely necessary, use the lowest heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the jacket.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Avoid dry cleaning to protect the specialized finish and material.
