Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

This indicates that the DWR treatment may need to be refreshed. Follow the care instructions, and consider re-applying a DWR treatment product.

Down is clumping after washing.

Ensure you tumble dry the jacket on low heat with tennis balls to restore the loft and prevent clumping. Make sure it's fully dry.

The zipper is difficult to operate.

Lubricate the zipper with a zipper lubricant or a bar of soap. If the problem persists, contact GANT customer service.
