Product Overview
The SOL'S Ladies Race Soft Shell Bodywarmer is a well-engineered technical garment designed for professionals who require a balance of mobility and weather protection. As a two-layer softshell, it serves as an excellent intermediate layer, providing the wearer with a tailored silhouette without the restriction of sleeves. This gilet is particularly suited for environments where temperature regulation is key, allowing for core warmth while maintaining full arm movement.
Key Features
- The showerproof outer fabric provides essential protection against light rain and drizzle, ensuring the wearer remains dry during short outdoor transitions.
- A polyester fleece lining acts as an efficient thermal barrier, trapping body heat to maintain comfort in cooler conditions.
- The curved drop hem offers increased coverage at the lower back, a practical feature for those who are frequently bending or reaching during their workday.
- Two front zip pockets provide secure and accessible storage for tools, mobile phones, or personal items, preventing loss during active tasks.
- The tear-out label is a thoughtful addition for those sensitive to neck irritation or for businesses looking to re-brand the garment internally.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of 96% polyester and 4% elastane, the outer shell is designed to move with the wearer. The inclusion of elastane provides a necessary degree of stretch, which is vital for trade professionals who require a full range of motion. The shaped fit is specifically patterned for the female form, offering a professional and neat appearance that avoids the bulkiness often found in unisex workwear.
The garment features a collar-high full-length black zip, allowing the wearer to adjust their level of ventilation as the work intensity changes. Its open hem design ensures that the gilet sits comfortably over trousers and base layers without tight constriction around the hips.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This bodywarmer is an ideal canvas for corporate branding. For a superior, professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos and individual names. The structure of the softshell fabric supports high-density stitching, resulting in a crisp and durable finish that withstands the rigours of daily wear.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the polyester outer is perfectly suited for printing, which is often preferred for larger, high-impact designs on the reverse of the garment. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This gilet is highly versatile, making it suitable for site supervisors, logistics staff, and retail professionals. It is an excellent choice for those working in large warehouses or transitionary spaces where a full jacket might be too heavy, but core warmth is still required. It also serves as a professional uniform piece for outdoor events and promotional staff.

Practical Advice
Because this gilet is a shaped fit, we suggest reviewing our sizing guides carefully to ensure a comfortable fit over your standard work shirts. It is designed to be worn as a mid-layer, so consider whether you will be wearing it over a heavy sweatshirt or a thinner polo shirt when selecting your size.
Caring for your product
To maintain the showerproof performance of the softshell fabric, it is vital to follow the care instructions provided on the internal label. Regular washing with appropriate detergents ensures the fabric remains breathable and the fleece lining stays soft.
We recommend avoiding the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and diminish the effectiveness of the showerproof treatment. When laundering, ensuring all zips are closed will help protect the custom embroidery or print from mechanical abrasion during the cycle.
