Product Information
Full details
The Gant Active Cloud Vest is an essential layering piece for men who need reliable warmth and weather protection without the restriction of a full-sleeved jacket. Ideal for transitional seasons or active outdoor pursuits, this polyester-based gilet features a DWR-treated shell and practical storage options, though its medium-weight insulation may be insufficient for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs
Is the hood fully detachable?
Yes, the vest features a detachable hood that can be removed for a sleeker look or added for extra weather protection.
Can I wear this vest in heavy rain?
The vest is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain well. It is not waterproof and should not be used as a primary defense in heavy, sustained rain.
How should I store the vest during summer?
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation.
Does the hem adjuster help with sizing?
Yes, the drawstring hem adjuster allows you to tighten the waist area to prevent drafts and achieve a more personalized, snug fit.
How many internal pockets are included?
The vest includes three internal pockets, providing secure storage space in addition to the two external zippered side pockets.
Is this vest machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle, but always refer to the specific care label attached to the garment for the most accurate instructions.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR coating may be wearing off. Try washing and tumble-drying on low heat to reactivate, or apply a spray-on DWR replenishment treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or catches.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and wipe the zipper track with a clean cloth to remove dirt or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your vest, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents that can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Periodically low-heat drying can actually help reactivate the water-repellent properties of the shell.
- Storage: Hang the vest on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the padding remains evenly distributed.
- Compatibility: The vest works best when layered over mid-weight sweaters, flannels, or performance long-sleeve shirts. If you plan to wear it under a jacket, ensure the jacket is loose enough to accommodate the vest's loft without causing compression.
