FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Gant Quilted Windcheater Jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, meaning it will shed water in light rain conditions. It is not fully waterproof and is not intended for heavy downpours.

How should I clean this jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Tumble dry low or air dry. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Refer to the care label for specific instructions.

Can I wear this jacket in winter?

This jacket is designed as a windcheater for light weather and transitional seasons. While it offers warmth and wind protection, it may not be sufficient for harsh winter conditions without significant layering underneath.

What is DWR?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabric that allows water to bead up and roll off, helping the garment stay drier in light precipitation.

Does the jacket have internal pockets?

The description specifies slanted welt side pockets, which are external. Internal pockets are not mentioned, so it's best to assume there are none unless stated otherwise.

What material is the padding made of?

The jacket features recycled polyester padding, providing lightweight insulation with an environmentally conscious approach.

Is the plaid pattern visible on all variants?

The plaid pattern is specific to this variant. Other variants of the Gant Quilted Windcheater Jacket may come in solid colors or different patterns. Please check individual product descriptions for details.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

Regular washing can diminish DWR. To maintain or restore it, you can tumble dry the jacket on low heat after washing (following care label instructions) to reactivate the existing DWR, or apply a specialized DWR treatment product.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be diminishing

After several washes, DWR treatments can wear off. Re-activate by tumble drying on low heat for a short period, or re-apply a specialized DWR spray or wash-in product designed for outerwear, following product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or sticking

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., paraffin wax or a graphite pencil) to the zipper teeth. Work the zipper up and down gently several times to distribute the lubricant.

Snap buttons feel loose or don't close securely

Inspect the snap for any debris. If the issue persists and isn't due to damage, it may indicate a manufacturing imperfection. Contact customer support for assistance if it's a new product.

Jacket feels less warm than expected

This windcheater is designed for light weather and wind protection, not extreme cold. For colder conditions, consider layering with warmer base layers or a thicker sweater underneath. Ensure cuffs and hem are adjusted snugly to block drafts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Compatibility

This versatile jacket pairs well with a variety of casual and smart-casual outfits. It can be worn over shirts, sweaters, or light knitwear for added warmth and style. Its classic design and plaid pattern complement denim, chinos, and even tailored trousers.

Care

To maintain the jacket's appearance and `DWR` functionality, follow these guidelines:

  • Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  • Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
  • Tumble dry on low heat, or air dry to preserve fabric integrity and `DWR` treatment.
  • Do not iron. High heat can damage the `DWR` finish and polyester fibers.
  • Do not dry clean.
  • To re-activate or re-apply the `DWR` finish, consider using a specialized water-repellent spray or wash-in product designed for outerwear after several washes, following the product's instructions.
