Product Information
Full details
The GANT Quilted Windcheater Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a stylish and functional outerwear option. Its key benefit lies in its water-repellent finish and recycled polyester padding, offering protection against light weather conditions. A potential caveat is that its water repellency is best suited for light showers, not heavy rain. This windcheater features a diamond quilting structure, a one-way zipper, snap buttons at the collar, slanted welt side pockets, and an elasticated hem and cuff with press button adjusters.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the GANT Quilted Windcheater Jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is designed to shed water in light weather conditions. It is not waterproof and is not suitable for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wetness.
What is the padding made of?
The jacket is padded with recycled polyester, offering warmth and sustainability.
How should I clean the jacket?
It is recommended to machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat. Do not dry clean.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides moderate warmth due to its quilting and padding. For very cold weather, it is best worn as a layering piece over warmer garments like sweaters or fleece.
How do I adjust the cuffs?
The cuffs have an elasticated design with a press button adjuster. You can secure the cuff to your preferred tightness using the provided snap button.
What does DWR treatment mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the garment dry in light precipitation.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil lead on the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
Water repellency seems reduced
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reapplied. Follow care instructions for washing, and then use a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for polyester, following the product's specific instructions.
Elasticated hem/cuff has lost its elasticity
Over time, elastic can degrade. Ensure the jacket is cared for according to instructions, avoiding excessive heat during washing or drying, which can exacerbate this issue. Minor loss of elasticity is natural wear.
