Product Information
Full details
The Gant Active Cloud Vest is designed for active adults seeking a versatile, mid-weight layering piece for transitional weather. Crafted from recycled synthetics with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, it offers a functional blend of warmth and protection in a stylish, regular-fit silhouette. While it excels as a modular outer layer due to its detachable hood and numerous pockets, it is specifically designed for light weather conditions and may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold or heavy downpours.

Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off through use or improper cleaning. Reapply a high-quality DWR spray specifically designed for synthetic technical apparel.
The drawstring toggle at the hem is sticking
Check for debris or fabric caught in the mechanism. Gently clean the area with a soft brush and ensure the internal spring is not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your vest, observe the following care instructions. The hood is attached via a simple mechanism; ensure it is snapped or zipped fully into place before wear to prevent it from detaching unexpectedly. The drawstring at the hem should be adjusted by pulling the toggles until the desired fit is achieved. Regarding maintenance, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR shell, avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and negate the water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry, and avoid ironing the synthetic material directly.
