Full details

Its key benefit is the combination of recycled polyester padding and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, offering warmth and protection against light rain.

Key features include diamond quilting, a one-way zipper, snap-button collar closure, welt side pockets, and adjustable hem and cuff for a personalized fit.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The GANT Quilted Windcheater Jacket is designed as a lightweight, water-repellent outer layer for transitional weather, offering protection against light rain and wind while providing some warmth.
How does the water-repellent finish work?
The jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment. This finish causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric surface, preventing it from soaking through in light precipitation.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the DWR finish is designed for light weather conditions. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What materials are used in this jacket?
The jacket is crafted with recycled polyester padding and has a polyester outer fabric with a water-repellent finish.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Reapplying a DWR treatment periodically is recommended to maintain water repellency.
Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?
While it provides some warmth, it is best suited for mild temperatures or as a layering piece in colder weather, combined with warmer garments underneath.
What does 'XXL' sizing mean for this jacket?
XXL is a specific size designation indicating a larger fit. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for precise measurements to ensure it fits comfortably for an adult male.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is decreasing.
Reapply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment according to the product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Jacket appears creased after washing.
Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For stubborn creases, iron on a low heat setting, avoiding direct contact with any embellishments.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Elasticated hem/cuff is losing its snugness.
Ensure the garment has been washed and dried according to care instructions. Extreme heat can degrade elastic over time. If significantly stretched, it may indicate wear and tear.
