Full details
The GANT Light Down Jacket is an ideal choice for adults seeking a versatile, lightweight layering piece for transitional weather. Featuring a premium 90% down and 10% feather filling, it provides exceptional insulation without unnecessary bulk, finished with a water-repellent coating for added utility. While it excels as a mid-layer or standalone jacket in mild conditions, it is not intended for extreme sub-zero alpine environments.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be worn in heavy downpours.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is generally machine washable, but you must use a gentle cycle with cold water and a down-safe detergent.
What is the primary filling material?
The jacket is filled with a blend of 90% down and 10% feathers.
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
It is best for transitional weather. In deep winter, it serves better as an insulating layer underneath a heavier outer coat.
What does the GANT shield logo represent?
The GANT shield logo is a signature mark of the brand, symbolizing quality and heritage.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are poking through the fabric
This is common with down products. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside and rub the fabric to close the gap.
The jacket has lost its 'loft' or fluffiness
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with tennis balls or a dryer ball to redistribute the down and restore volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a down-filled garment, proper maintenance is essential for longevity. To clean, follow the care label instructions; generally, use a mild detergent specifically formulated for down products. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can ruin the water-repellent coating and reduce the loft of the feathers. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, ideally with a few tennis balls in the dryer to help re-fluff the down. Store the jacket hanging up or in a breathable garment bag when not in use for extended periods, rather than keeping it compressed in its storage pouch.
