Product Overview
The SOL'S Ladies Falcon Recycled Soft Shell Bodywarmer represents a thoughtful intersection of sustainable manufacturing and technical performance. Designed specifically for the professional woman, this medium-weight gilet offers a refined fit without sacrificing the utility required for active work environments. As businesses increasingly look to align their uniform choices with environmental responsibilities, this garment provides a solution that is as robust as it is eco-conscious, featuring a recycled outer fabric that does not compromise on weather resistance or durability.
Key Features
- Three-Layer Technical Construction: The outer layer, membrane, and fleece backing work in unison to provide comprehensive protection while remaining breathable during physical activity.
- Recycled Polyester Composition: Utilising 94% recycled polyester, this garment helps reduce plastic waste while maintaining the high-performance characteristics of traditional synthetic fibres.
- Weather-Resistant Membrane: The integrated waterproof and windproof membrane ensures that core body temperature is maintained even in challenging British weather conditions.
- Functional Storage: Equipped with a right chest zip pocket and two front zip pockets, providing secure storage for essential tools or personal items.
- Ergonomic Design: Featuring bound elasticated armholes and a full-length zip with a chin guard to prevent irritation and ensure a comfortable, secure fit throughout the day.
Design & Performance
The engineering of the SOL'S Falcon is centered around its three-layer soft shell fabric. The outer face, a blend of recycled polyester and elastane, provides the necessary stretch for ease of movement—a critical factor for trades and site visits. Beneath this, the technical membrane acts as a barrier against wind and rain while allowing moisture vapour to escape, preventing the clammy feeling often associated with lower-quality waterproofs. The interior is finished with a polyester fleece layer, which serves to trap heat and provide a soft touch against the skin or base layers.
The inclusion of a tear-out label is a practical addition for businesses looking to re-brand the item internally, ensuring a clean, irritation-free finish for the wearer. The bound hem and armholes are designed to retain the garment's shape over time, even after repeated use in demanding professional settings.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, technical surface of this soft shell bodywarmer makes it an exemplary candidate for customisation. At MyWorkwear, we have been refining our branding techniques since 1976, and we handle all customisation in-house at our Telford facility to ensure a superior finish.
For a professional appearance that conveys authority, we recommend embroidery. The substantial nature of the three-layer fabric supports dense stitch counts perfectly, making it ideal for corporate logos or staff names. Alternatively, for larger, high-visibility branding on the back of the garment, our technical printing processes ensure vibrant designs that adhere securely to the polyester fibres, maintaining their integrity wash after wash.
Use Cases
This bodywarmer is particularly well-suited for professionals who transition frequently between the office, the vehicle, and the site. It is an essential layer for estate agents, site managers, and delivery personnel who require core warmth and professional branding without the bulk of a full jacket. Its water-resistant properties also make it a reliable choice for outdoor leisure and event staff working in unpredictable conditions.

Practical Advice
Because this gilet features a tailored ladies' fit and a three-layer construction, it is designed to be worn over lightweight base layers or polo shirts. If you intend to wear it over a medium-weight sweatshirt or hoodie, we suggest reviewing the sizing carefully to ensure there is sufficient room for movement across the shoulders and chest. The elastane content provides some flexibility, but the technical membrane is designed for a close, efficient fit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and the recycled integrity of your bodywarmer, consistent and correct care is necessary. Always refer to the specific instructions provided on the internal care label before laundering.
When washing, avoid using fabric softeners. These chemicals can coat the fibres and clog the breathable membrane, effectively turning your technical garment into a non-breathable plastic shell, which will lead to overheating during use.
Bleaching should be strictly avoided as it will degrade the recycled polyester and elastane fibres, causing the garment to lose its structural integrity and potentially damaging any custom embroidery or print. Similarly, high-heat drying or ironing should be avoided; excessive heat can delaminate the three-layer construction and melt the synthetic fibres, permanently ruining the finish and fit of the gilet.
