Full details
The GANT Active Cloud Vest is designed for the modern man seeking a versatile, mid-weight layering piece that offers both style and technical utility. Crafted from recycled polyester with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, it provides reliable warmth and protection during transitional weather. While the regular fit offers a comfortable silhouette, potential buyers should note that its mid-weight padding is intended for moderate temperatures rather than extreme sub-zero conditions.

FAQs

Does the hood provide full coverage?
The hood is designed for standard protection against wind and light rain, featuring an adjustable fit to stay in place.
What does DWR stand for?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a coating added to the fabric to make it resistant to light moisture.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, both the side zipped pockets and the interior pockets are designed to accommodate standard modern smartphones.
Is the material breathable?
The synthetic construction allows for a comfortable balance of heat retention and breathability during moderate activities.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric during rain
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR revitalizing treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for debris in the teeth or fabric lining. Ensure the fabric is pulled clear of the track before zipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your GANT Active Cloud Vest in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, cool machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting. Avoid professional dry cleaning.
- Re-treating: Over time, the water-repellent properties may diminish. You can restore this using a standard DWR wash-in treatment designed for synthetic shells.
- Hood Usage: The detachable hood can be removed or attached via the integrated fasteners. Store it in one of the interior pockets if you prefer a cleaner collar look.
