Product Information
Full details
The GANT Quilted Windcheater Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a stylish and functional outerwear piece for light weather conditions. Its key benefit lies in its water-repellent finish and recycled polyester padding, offering protection and warmth. A potential caveat is that its water repellency is most effective in light weather, not heavy rain. This jacket features a diamond quilting structure, a one-way zipper, snap button collar, welt side pockets, and adjustable elasticated hem and cuffs.

FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best for?
This jacket is ideal for light weather conditions, such as cool breezes, light rain, or transitional seasons like spring and autumn. It is not designed for heavy rain or freezing temperatures.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash the jacket at 40°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. It can also be ironed on a medium setting.
What does 'water-repellent finish' mean?
A water-repellent finish means the fabric is treated to resist water absorption. Water will bead up and roll off the surface in light conditions, helping to keep you dry. It is not waterproof.
Is the padding warm enough for winter?
The recycled polyester padding provides warmth for cool conditions. For significantly cold winter weather, layering or a heavier coat may be necessary.
Can I adjust the fit of the cuffs?
Yes, the cuffs feature an elasticated design with a press button adjuster, allowing you to tighten them for a snugger fit and to block out wind.
What are the pockets like?
The jacket has slanted welt side pockets, which offer a clean look and secure space for your hands or small essentials.
Is this jacket suitable for men and women?
This specific model is designed for men, as indicated by its sizing and fit. Gant may offer similar styles for women.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment can wear off over time. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for polyester fabrics after washing. Follow the product instructions for application.
Elasticated hem or cuff is losing its stretch.
This is a sign of wear over time. While not repairable, gentle care during washing and avoiding excessive stretching can prolong its elasticity.
