SoulCal 2Zip Gilet - Blue - M

No, the hood itself is integrated into the gilet. However, the faux fur *trim* on the hood is removable, allowing for versatile styling options.

The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet is not waterproof or water-resistant. It provides warmth but will not protect you from rain. For wet conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

The gilet is made from a blend of 55% Recycled Polyester and 45% Polyester, with a soft faux fur lining.

It is machine washable. Always check the care label inside the gilet for specific instructions. Generally, wash on a cool, gentle cycle and air dry flat. Avoid high heat tumble drying.

The gilet provides excellent core warmth for cooler days and mild winter conditions. However, as it is sleeveless, it may not be sufficient as the sole outer layer in extremely cold or very windy winter weather. Layering it over a thick sweater or under a heavy coat is recommended for such conditions.

Info needed: The product description does not specify if the gilet includes pockets. Most gilets of this style typically feature hand pockets for convenience.

The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet is available in a range of adult female sizes, including UK sizes S, M (like UK 10/14), L, XL (like UK 16), and XXL (like UK 18/20), and various colors such as Blue and Black. Please check product listings for current availability.

Gently brush the faux fur with a soft-bristled brush (like a wide-tooth comb or a dedicated faux fur brush) once it's completely dry to restore its fluffiness. If removable, hand washing the trim can help prevent matting.

Ensure the gilet is completely dry, as damp padding loses insulating properties. If padding has clumped, gently pat and fluff the gilet with your hands or during a low/no-heat tumble dry cycle with dryer balls to redistribute the fill evenly.

Rub a graphite pencil lead (from a standard pencil) along the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Gently work the zipper up and down a few times. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage.

Wash the gilet according to the care instructions. For persistent odors, consider using a fabric refresher spray designed for apparel or adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (in the fabric softener dispenser, not directly on the fabric).

Most wrinkles will release by hanging the gilet for a day or two. If needed, use a garment steamer on a low setting, or iron on the lowest heat setting with a protective cloth between the iron and the gilet, avoiding the faux fur areas.
