Full details
The Gant Light Down Jacket is an essential, year-round layering piece designed for men seeking a balance between lightweight comfort and reliable warmth. Crafted from certified recycled polyester with a premium 90% down and 10% feather fill, it serves as a versatile outer layer or mid-layer in fluctuating weather. While its water-repellent finish provides excellent protection against light rain, it is intended for moderate conditions rather than heavy, sustained storms.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy downpours.
How should I clean my Gant Light Down Jacket?
Follow the garment's care label, generally recommending a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent and thorough tumble drying.
Can I wear this jacket as a mid-layer?
Yes, its lightweight, low-bulk design makes it perfect for layering underneath a wool coat or a heavier parka.
What is the material composition?
The shell is made of certified recycled polyester, and the fill consists of 90% down and 10% feathers.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket features a regular fit. If you intend to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider your standard size or slightly up depending on your layering preference.
What does the two-way zipper allow me to do?
The two-way zipper allows you to open the jacket from the bottom, which is useful for comfort while sitting or for accessing internal pockets.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through the fabric
This is normal for down-filled garments. Do not pull the feather; instead, pull it back into the jacket from the inside.
Jacket loses loft after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on a low setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the down clusters evenly.
Water is no longer beading on the surface
The DWR coating may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR spray treatment designed for technical outerwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, the jacket requires no setup; simply ensure the chosen size allows for comfortable layering over your preferred mid-layers. To maintain the loft of the down insulation and the efficacy of the water-repellent coating, follow the care label instructions carefully. It is recommended to use specialized down detergent when washing and to tumble dry on a low setting with dryer balls to restore the fluffiness of the down. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, and store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
