Product Information
Full details
The GANT Active Cloud Vest is a versatile, mid-weight layering piece designed for men who prioritize mobility and climate control in unpredictable weather. Featuring a water-repellent shell and sustainable recycled synthetic construction, this vest provides essential core warmth without the bulk of a full jacket; however, users should note that while it handles light precipitation effectively, it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.

FAQs
Is this vest machine washable?
Yes, it is generally machine washable, but always follow the care label for temperature settings to protect the synthetic insulation.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
No, while the fabric has a DWR coating for light weather, it is not waterproof and will soak through in heavy or sustained rain.
How do I attach or detach the hood?
The hood is designed to be easily removed via a simple attachment mechanism at the collar—check the interior seam for the specific snap or zipper points.
What does 'mid-weight padding' mean?
It means the vest is designed for moderate temperatures, providing enough warmth for brisk days without being as thick as a heavy winter down vest.
Does this vest have internal pockets?
Yes, the vest includes three dedicated interior pockets for secure storage of your valuables.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric rather than beading.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the vest and apply a DWR-reviving spray specifically designed for technical outerwear.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and clean the track with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris.
Hem drawstring is uneven.
Fully release the drawstring adjuster and re-thread the cord to ensure it is balanced on both sides of the hem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your GANT Active Cloud Vest, always check the internal garment tag for specific care instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors using a mild detergent. To maintain the integrity of the water-repellent finish, avoid harsh fabric softeners. If the DWR performance begins to fade, consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray formulated for synthetic apparel. When storing, hang the vest on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the padding, and ensure the hood is properly detached if you prefer a cleaner, stow-away aesthetic.
