Product Information
Full details
The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet is designed for adults seeking a stylish and warm layering option for cooler weather. Its primary benefit is providing exceptional core warmth and comfort through its padded body and soft faux fur lining, making it ideal for casual wear or outdoor activities. However, users should note that while it offers significant insulation, it is not designed as a waterproof outer layer and should be paired with appropriate outerwear in wet conditions.

FAQs
What materials is the SoulCal 2Zip Gilet made from?
The gilet is crafted from 55% Recycled Polyester and 45% Polyester. It features a soft faux fur lining for added comfort and warmth.
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the SoulCal 2Zip Gilet is designed for warmth and style in cooler, dry conditions. It is not waterproof and should be worn with an appropriate waterproof outer layer if rain is expected.
How should I wash my gilet?
The gilet is machine washable. For detailed instructions, always refer to the specific care label inside your garment. Generally, it's best to wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
Can I remove the faux fur trim from the hood?
Yes, the faux fur trim on the hood is designed to be removable, offering flexibility for styling and making it easier to clean.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?
The gilet provides excellent core warmth. For very cold winter weather, it is most effective when worn as an insulating mid-layer under a heavy winter coat or jacket to provide optimal protection against extreme cold.
Does the gilet have pockets?
Info needed: The product description does not specify if the gilet includes pockets for storage. Please refer to product images or additional product details if available for this information.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of zipper lubricant or rubbing a graphite pencil along the teeth can help ease movement.
Faux fur on the hood appears matted or less fluffy
Carefully remove the faux fur trim from the hood. Gently brush the fur with a soft-bristled brush (such as a pet brush or a wide-toothed comb) to restore its fluffiness. Avoid excessive pulling or harsh brushing.
Gilet doesn't seem to provide expected warmth
Confirm that the gilet fits snugly but comfortably. A too-loose fit can reduce insulating effectiveness. Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature; the gilet provides core warmth and performs best when combined with suitable base layers and outer shells in very cold conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The SoulCal 2Zip Gilet requires no special setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
This gilet is a highly compatible layering garment. It can be worn comfortably over a wide range of tops, including t-shirts, blouses, sweaters, and hoodies. For colder weather, it pairs well as a mid-layer under various types of jackets and coats, such as parkas, rain jackets, or windbreakers, to enhance insulation.
Care:
To maintain the quality, warmth, and appearance of your gilet:
- Machine Washable: Always refer to the care label sewn into the garment for precise instructions.
- Typically, wash on a gentle cycle using cold or lukewarm water with similar colors.
- Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, which can damage the fabric and faux fur.
- Drying: Air dry the gilet whenever possible by laying it flat or hanging it on a padded hanger. This helps preserve the garment's shape and the faux fur's softness.
- If tumble drying is permitted by the care label, use a low heat setting.
- Faux Fur Trim Care: If the faux fur trim is removed for washing, it is often recommended to hand wash it gently in cool water and air dry, or to spot clean as needed, to help maintain its texture and fluffiness.
