FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to shed light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I layer this under another coat?
Yes, its lightweight profile makes it an excellent mid-layer to wear under a larger shell or wool coat in colder weather.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry low with dryer balls.
What does the regular fit mean?
The regular fit is designed for a comfortable, standard silhouette that is not too tight nor too baggy, allowing for basic layering underneath.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the jacket is crafted using recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric during light rain.
The DWR finish may be wearing off; consider using a technical garment spray-on re-proofer to restore water repellency.
Down filling feels clumped after washing.
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to fluff the insulation back to its original state.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and rub a pencil lead or a small amount of zipper lubricant along the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gant Light Down Jacket, it is important to follow proper maintenance procedures. Given the DWR treatment, avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent coating. When cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry on a low setting, ideally with dryer balls to help redistribute the down filling. The jacket is designed to be worn over light sweaters or long-sleeve shirts, and its regular fit allows for comfortable movement without excessive bulk. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings to prevent damage to the polyester fabric.
