FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is made from lightweight organic cotton twill.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment, which helps shed water in light weather conditions. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR finish.
What does 'half-lined' mean in the description?
Half-lined means that only a portion of the jacket's interior is lined, typically the upper body or shoulders. This provides some warmth and structure while maintaining breathability, ideal for moderate temperatures.
What kind of fit does this jacket have?
The jacket is designed for a regular fit, with a partly elasticated hem for added comfort and adjustability.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is best suited for transitional weather. While the half-lining offers some warmth, it may not be sufficient for very cold temperatures. Layering with a sweater or fleece underneath is recommended for colder conditions.
Where can I find other sizes or colors?
Refer to the product page or contact customer service for information on available sizes and colors. Other variants of the GANT Windcheater Jacket may be available.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing
Tumble dry on low heat. This helps to reactivate the DWR finish and soften the fabric.
Water is no longer beading on the surface
The DWR treatment may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying on low heat. If the issue persists, consider using a specialized DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric free. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth.
Elasticated hem feels too tight
The elasticated hem is designed for a snug fit. If it feels restrictive, ensure you are wearing the correct size. The slight stretch should provide comfort without excessive tightness.
