FAQs
Is the Gant Active Cloud Vest machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend a gentle cycle and mild detergent to preserve the synthetic materials and the water-repellent shell.
Does this vest provide enough warmth for freezing temperatures?
It is designed as a mid-weight layer. It is perfect for chilly, mild weather, but for sub-zero temperatures, you should layer it underneath a heavier coat.
Are the interior pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?
Yes, the interior pockets are designed to hold common everyday items, including most standard-sized smartphones securely.
Can I remove the hood if I do not need it?
Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to convert the vest into a collar-only style for a cleaner, more streamlined look.
Is the fabric material completely waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent. It will withstand light drizzle, but it is not intended to keep you dry in heavy rain or deep snow.
Does this vest run true to size?
The vest is cut for a regular fit, which is generally true to size for layering. If you prefer a very slim, athletic fit, some users opt to size down.
Troubleshooting
The water-repellent property is failing
The DWR finish wears off over time. Wash the garment to remove dirt and apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water resistance.
Insulation feels compressed or lumpy after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the synthetic filling inside the baffles.
Drawstring at hem is stuck
Check the cord lock mechanism for fabric or debris. Ensure the cord is not twisted inside the hem channel before pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gant Active Cloud Vest, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents that can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting and consider using dryer balls to help fluff the synthetic insulation.
- DWR Maintenance: Over time, the water-repellent properties may diminish. You can restore this using a standard garment DWR re-proofer spray.
- Storage: Hang the vest on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape, especially when stored for long periods between seasons.
- Compatibility: The regular fit allows for layering a long-sleeved shirt or light fleece underneath, but be aware that wearing bulky items underneath may restrict your mobility.
