Its 90% down and 10% feather fill provides exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio without adding unnecessary bulk to your outfit, making it ideal for travel or daily commuting. While it is water-repellent and features a protective DWR finish, it is intended for light weather conditions rather than extreme, heavy rainfall.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to withstand light rain and drizzle, but it is not waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this under a larger coat?
Yes, its lightweight profile makes it an excellent mid-layer to be worn under a heavier wool coat or shell for extra insulation.
How should I clean the jacket?
It is best machine-washed on a gentle cycle with down-specific detergent and tumble-dried on low heat with dryer balls.
What is the fit of this jacket?
It features a regular fit, which is designed to be comfortable and allows for light layering underneath without feeling too tight.
Is the hood detachable?
This model features a stand collar and does not include a hood.
Are the pockets zipped?
The jacket features angled welt pockets, which are designed for easy access and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers starting to poke through the fabric
This is common with down products. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out, then rub the area between your fingers to close the fabric gap.
Jacket feels flat or lacks loft after washing
Ensure the jacket is tumble dried thoroughly with dryer balls. If it still feels flat, continue the drying process to redistribute the down clumps.
Water is soaking into the shell instead of beading off
The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider using a DWR spray re-proofer according to the product instructions to restore water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gant Light Down Jacket remains in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for down garments.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and restore its loft.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing it compressed in a storage bag for extended periods, as this can damage the insulation's ability to trap heat.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the exterior for dirt, which can be wiped off with a damp cloth to preserve the efficacy of the DWR coating.
