Product Information
Full details
The Gant Active Cloud Vest is designed for active adults who need a versatile, lightweight layering solution for transitional weather. It offers the benefit of medium insulation and water-repellent protection without the restriction of a full-sleeved jacket, making it ideal for layering over knitwear or under heavier coats. Note that while it features a water-repellent DWR treatment, it is intended for light weather conditions rather than heavy or prolonged rain.

FAQs
Is the Gant Active Cloud Vest waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to shed water in light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used as a primary raincoat in heavy storms.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to customize the look and function of the vest.
How many pockets does the vest have?
The vest features two external zip pockets and three interior pockets for secure storage.
What is the fit of this vest?
It is designed as a regular fit, providing a comfortable, standard shape that allows for layering underneath.
Can I wear this under a larger coat?
Yes, because the vest offers medium insulation without excessive bulk, it works very well as a mid-layer underneath a larger outer shell or wool coat.
How do I care for the polyester fabric?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, and avoid fabric softeners to protect the DWR finish.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the shell during light rain
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Reapply a spray-on DWR treatment specifically designed for polyester garments.
Drawstring hem is stuck or not adjusting smoothly
Check the internal channel for debris or tangled fabric. If the toggle is stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Gant Active Cloud Vest in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the drawstring toggles to ensure they remain secure and free of debris.
- Storage: Hang the vest on a padded hanger to maintain its structure, especially if the hood is attached. If storing for the season, ensure the pockets are empty to prevent stress on the seams.
