FAQs
Is this vest water-resistant?
While the exterior fabric provides some protection against light mist, it is not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
Can I wear this under a coat?
Yes, its low-profile design makes it an excellent mid-layer to be worn under a larger overcoat for added warmth.
How should I store the vest during summer?
Store it in a cool, dry place on a hanger to allow the down to breathe.
Does this vest have pockets?
The design includes functional closures and pockets consistent with GANT's standard vest construction, typically featuring side pockets.
What is the best way to clean it?
Follow the instructions on the care label; typically, machine wash on a delicate cycle with a specialized down detergent is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers starting to poke through fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out.
Vest loses its 'puffiness' or loft
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment does not require any assembly. To maintain the quality of the down fill, we recommend checking the internal care label specifically for wash instructions. Generally, it is best to use a specialized down-wash detergent if cleaning is necessary. Avoid wringing the vest out; instead, lay it flat to dry to ensure the down distributes evenly throughout the baffles. Avoid exposing the vest to direct high heat or sharp objects that could pierce the fabric and compromise the fill.
