FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

The GANT Quilted Windcheater Jacket is designed for everyday layering, offering lightweight insulation and protection against light wind and rain.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish which is effective for light showers and drizzle. It is not intended for heavy or prolonged rain.

What does 'diamond quilting' mean?

Diamond quilting refers to the pattern of stitching that creates a diamond shape across the fabric, holding the insulation in place and providing a classic visual texture.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

While dry cleaning is recommended for optimal care, you can machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

What material is the padding made from?

The jacket is padded with recycled polyester, offering warmth while incorporating sustainable materials.

How do I adjust the fit of the cuffs?

The cuffs have an elasticated design with an adjustable press button, allowing you to secure them for a snugger fit.

What other colors and sizes are available?

This jacket is available in various colors and sizes. Please refer to the product listing or retailer for specific availability, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR spray to the exterior of the jacket. For heavy rain, this jacket is designed for light water resistance and may not suffice.

Elasticated hem/cuff is losing its stretch

Ensure the jacket is being cared for according to the instructions (avoiding high heat drying). While some loss of elasticity over time is natural, proper care will prolong its effectiveness.

Jacket feels less warm than expected

This jacket is designed for lightweight insulation. For colder conditions, consider layering it over warmer garments like a fleece or sweater.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. It is designed to be compatible with a variety of outfits, from casual to smart-casual.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the water-repellent finish and polyester material, it is recommended to dry clean the jacket for best results and to maintain its protective qualities. Alternatively, if machine washing is preferred, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid direct high heat sources.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Avoid ironing directly over any printed or branded details.
  • Water-Repellency Maintenance: The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment can diminish over time. Reapplication of a DWR spray designed for outerwear can help restore its water-shedding capabilities after several washes.
