Product Information

Full details

The SOLS Race Full Zip Softshell Jacket is an essential outer layer designed for active adults who engage in outdoor pursuits where weather conditions are unpredictable. Its primary benefit is providing reliable water-repellent protection while maintaining a comfortable, shaped fit; however, users should note that the design features open cuffs and hem rather than adjustable closures, which may impact thermal sealing in extreme winds.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, it is water-repellent. It is designed to handle light rain and mist but will not provide protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.

Does it have a hood?

No, this specific model features a high collar design without a hood.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to hang-dry the jacket. High heat from a tumble dryer may damage the polyester fabric and the water-repellent treatment.

How should I choose the right size?

This model is designed with a shaped fit. Refer to standard UK dress sizing, choosing your usual size for a standard fit or sizing up if you intend to wear heavy layers underneath.

Are the cuffs adjustable?

No, the cuffs and hem are open-design to provide a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, as a softshell jacket, it offers better breathability than traditional waterproof plastic shells, making it suitable for moderate activity.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking into the fabric rather than beading

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Apply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Stiff or sticky zipper

Clear any debris from the zipper track. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent water-repellent properties for uncertain weather
  • Tailored shaped fit provides a flattering and ergonomic profile
  • High collar design adds extra warmth and wind protection
  • Convenient zippered storage for personal items
  • Lightweight material allows for comfortable layering

Cons

  • Cuffs and hem are open, lacking adjustable tabs
  • Not intended for heavy, sustained downpours
  • Polyester material may not be as breathable as high-end technical membranes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no technical setup; it is ready to wear immediately. Because it is made of polyester, maintenance is straightforward. To preserve the water-repellent coating, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the water-repellent properties of the softshell material. It is recommended to hang-dry the jacket to prevent material degradation. For long-term compatibility, this piece layers well over base-layer thermal tops or thin fleeces, depending on your preferred level of warmth.
