Product Information
Full details
The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet is designed for women seeking a blend of warmth and style on cooler days. Its primary benefit lies in providing adjustable core warmth and comfort with a fashionable aesthetic, making it an excellent layering piece for various casual settings. A key consideration is that it offers no arm coverage, meaning it's best suited for mild cold or as a mid-layer rather than a standalone outer garment in very harsh conditions. Key features include a double full zip, a padded body with soft faux fur lining, and a removable faux fur trim on the hood, all crafted from a polyester blend with recycled content.

FAQs
Is the hood completely removable?
The faux fur trim on the hood is removable, allowing for versatile styling. The hood itself is integrated into the gilet and is not designed to be detached.
What materials is the SoulCal 2Zip Gilet made from?
The gilet is made from a blend of 55% Recycled Polyester and 45% Polyester. It features a soft faux fur lining for added warmth and comfort.
How should I clean my gilet?
The gilet is machine washable. We recommend following the specific instructions on the care label inside the garment, which typically advises machine washing cold with similar colors and tumble drying on low or air drying.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The gilet provides excellent core warmth for cooler days and as a layering piece. For very cold winter conditions, it is best worn over substantial base layers or underneath a heavier winter coat, as it does not cover the arms.
What is the main benefit of the double full zip feature?
The double full zip offers superior temperature regulation. You can fully zip it for maximum warmth, or partially open one or both zips to allow for ventilation and prevent overheating without needing to remove the gilet entirely.
Can I wear this gilet for outdoor activities?
Yes, it is well-suited for a range of casual outdoor activities like walking, light hiking, running errands, or general daily wear in cool weather, providing comfort and warmth.
Does the gilet have pockets?
Info needed: [check product details for pocket information]. If it does, they would likely be handwarmer pockets or internal pockets.
Troubleshooting
Faux fur trim looks matted or less fluffy after washing.
After the faux fur trim is dry (air drying is recommended), gently brush it with a soft-bristled brush. This helps to separate the fibers and restore its original fluffy texture.
Gilet feels either too warm or not warm enough.
Utilize the double full zip feature. If too warm, partially unzip the outer layer for ventilation. If not warm enough, ensure both zippers are fully closed and consider adding another thin layer underneath.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zippers still feel stiff, rub a small amount of zipper lubricant (such as beeswax or a graphite pencil) along the teeth to improve smoothness.
Gilet appears wrinkled after storage or washing.
Hang the gilet in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, allowing the steam to relax the fabric. Alternatively, use a handheld fabric steamer on a low setting, keeping a small distance from the fabric. Do not iron directly.

Setup: The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet requires no special setup; simply remove it from its packaging and it's ready to wear. Compatibility: This gilet is highly compatible with a variety of wardrobe staples. It layers seamlessly over long-sleeved t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, and even under a larger coat for extreme cold. Its timeless black color ensures it integrates well with almost any casual outfit. Care: To ensure the longevity and appearance of your gilet, follow these care instructions: 1. Machine Wash: Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold with similar colors. 2. Detergent: Use a mild laundry detergent. 3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, hang to air dry to protect the faux fur and polyester fibers. Avoid high heat. 4. Faux Fur Trim: If washing the faux fur trim separately, consider placing it in a mesh laundry bag. After drying, gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush to restore its fluffiness. 5. Ironing: Do not iron. 6. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
