FAQs
Is this vest machine washable?
Yes, but it is best to use a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid harsh detergents or softeners.
Does the vest have an internal pocket?
Yes, it features three interior pockets in addition to the external side zip pockets.
Is the material truly waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and moisture, but it is not intended for heavy, continuous downpours.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is fully detachable to suit your preference or the weather.
How should I store the vest in summer?
Store in a cool, dry place on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the padding from shifting or becoming compressed.
Is this garment eco-friendly?
The vest is made using recycled materials, reflecting Gant's commitment to sustainable production practices.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the surface
The DWR finish may be wearing off; consider applying a technical fabric DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
The hood feels loose
Check the integrated fasteners for the detachable hood to ensure they are fully snapped into place.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track and consider using a small amount of graphite or candle wax on the teeth for smoother operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your vest in optimal condition, refer to the garment tag for specific laundering instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve the DWR treatment. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent coating. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the padding. For storage, use a sturdy hanger to keep the shape consistent across the shoulders. The regular fit is compatible with a wide range of base layers, from thin t-shirts to thicker knit sweaters.
