FAQs
Is this vest waterproof?
The vest is water-repellent due to its DWR treatment, which is designed to shed moisture in light rain, but it is not waterproof.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable for a more streamlined look.
How should I wash the vest?
Use a machine wash on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners to prevent damaging the water-repellent finish.
What is the fit of this vest?
It is designed as a regular fit, providing enough room for comfortable layering over base garments.
Where can I store my valuables?
The vest includes two external side zip pockets and three internal pockets for secure storage.
Is this suitable for winter?
It is a mid-weight vest, so it is best used as a layering piece under a heavier coat for extremely cold winter days.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Clean the garment and apply a spray-on water-repellent treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck.
Check for debris or stray threads in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of dry lubricant or wax to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gant Active Cloud Vest, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry the vest by laying it flat or hanging it to maintain the integrity of the padding.
- Hood Removal: Locate the attachment points along the inner collar to snap the hood on or off.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface after a season of wear, consider using a specialized DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.
