Product Overview
The SOL'S Ladies Race Hooded Soft Shell Jacket represents a sophisticated approach to sustainable workwear, combining environmental responsibility with high-performance technical fabrics. Constructed from recycled polyester, this medium-weight jacket offers a professional, tailored fit specifically designed for women. Its two-layer construction provides an effective barrier against the elements while maintaining a comfortable internal climate through its integrated polar fleece lining. This is an essential garment for businesses looking to align their corporate identity with sustainable practices without compromising on durability or weather protection.
Key Features
- Recycled Polyester Construction: Utilising Global Recycled Standard (GRS) materials, this jacket reduces environmental impact while maintaining the robust performance expected of professional workwear.
- Showerproof Exterior: The outer layer is engineered to repel light rain, ensuring the wearer remains dry during intermittent weather conditions.
- Integrated Polar Fleece Lining: The recycled polyester fleece interior provides essential thermal insulation by trapping heat close to the body.
- Adjustable Hood: The grown-on hood features an adjustable drawcord, allowing for a secure fit that protects the head and neck from wind and moisture.
- Secure Storage: Two front zip pockets provide safe and convenient storage for tools or personal items, secured with reliable nylon zips.
- Protective Zip Guard: The full-length zip includes an inner guard to prevent irritation against the skin and block wind infiltration through the zip teeth.
Design & Performance
This jacket is engineered for movement and longevity. The two-layer soft shell fabric provides a flexible yet sturdy exterior that resists the typical wear and tear of active work environments. The drop hem design is a deliberate technical choice, offering extra coverage at the rear when bending or reaching, which is particularly beneficial for active roles in hospitality or event management. The open cuffs and hem allow for a non-restrictive fit, ensuring ease of movement throughout the day.
The garment is further supported by a suite of international certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and PETA-Approved Vegan status, reflecting a commitment to ethical manufacturing and chemical safety. The tear-out label is a thoughtful addition for those who require complete rebranding or wish to avoid neck irritation during long shifts.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL'S Ladies Race Jacket is specifically designed with 'access for decoration', making it an ideal canvas for corporate branding. For a sophisticated and enduring professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your company logo or staff names directly onto the chest or sleeves, providing a textured finish that withstands regular laundering.
For larger, high-visibility branding or event-specific graphics, our high-quality printing services are an excellent alternative. Whether you require bold back-prints or precise logos, our in-house experts—operating since 1976—ensure that every application is handled with technical precision to maintain the integrity of the showerproof fabric.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for hospitality and event staff who require a smart, uniform appearance while working outdoors. It is equally effective for outdoor leisure businesses and any organisation prioritising sustainable procurement. The clean lines and professional cut also make it a popular choice for corporate team-wear during transitional seasons.

Practical Advice
The ladies' cut is designed for a more fitted silhouette. For staff who intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers underneath, you may wish to consider one size larger than their standard measurement. The showerproof coating is highly effective for light rain, but for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof shell would be more appropriate.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the showerproof coating and the integrity of the recycled polyester fibres, proper care is essential. Following correct washing procedures ensures the garment continues to provide weather protection and that your embroidered or printed branding remains sharp and vibrant.
Avoid the use of biological detergents and fabric softeners, as these chemical agents can break down the showerproof finish and compromise the fabric's ability to repel water. Always ensure all zips are closed before washing to prevent the nylon teeth from snagging the outer shell.
We recommend air drying rather than tumble drying. High heat can damage the recycled polyester fibres and cause the bonded layers of the soft shell to delaminate over time. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with any printed customisation to prevent the transfer or melting of the design.
