FAQs

How do I wash the GANT Light Down Jacket?

Wash with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle, and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.

What is the fill power of the down?

The jacket features a 650-fill-power down.

Is the jacket waterproof?

No, it is water-repellent, designed to shed light rain. It is not fully waterproof.

What materials is the jacket made of?

The shell and lining are made from recycled polyester, and the padding consists of 90% down and 10% feathers.

What is the fit of the jacket?

It has a regular fit.

Where is the logo located?

The rubber logo badge is on the chest.

Can I iron this jacket?

No, do not iron the jacket. The heat can damage the fabric and the DWR treatment.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

While warm, it's best suited for layering. Consider wearing it under a heavier coat in very cold conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading off the jacket.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may need to be reactivated. Follow the care instructions, which may include tumble drying the jacket, or use a specific DWR treatment product.

The jacket feels less warm.

Check if the jacket is wet. Down insulation performs best when dry. Ensure the jacket is fully dried after washing, and consider using a waterproofing spray if needed.

Zipper is catching or not working smoothly.

Lubricate the zipper with a zipper wax or similar product. Avoid forcing the zipper if it gets stuck.

Down feathers are leaking.

This can happen occasionally. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket, and avoid pulling or damaging the fabric further. Small leaks are normal.
