Product Overview
The SOL'S Race Hooded Soft Shell Jacket is a sophisticated choice for those seeking a professional outer layer that doesn't compromise on environmental responsibility. Constructed from high-quality recycled polyester, this two-layer garment provides a resilient barrier against the elements while maintaining a clean, modern silhouette. The inclusion of a recycled polar fleece lining ensures the wearer remains comfortable in cooler conditions, making it an essential component of a year-round workwear uniform.
Key Features

- Full-Length Nylon Zip with Inner Guard: A robust fastening system featuring an internal guard to prevent wind penetration and skin irritation.
- Secure Zip Pockets: Two front pockets equipped with zips provide safe storage for essential tools or personal items.
- Drop Hem Design: The extended rear profile offers additional coverage and protection when bending or reaching, maintaining a professional appearance at all times.
Design & Performance
This jacket is engineered with a two-layer soft shell fabric that balances protection with flexibility. The outer layer serves as a durable shield against the wind, while the inner polar fleece lining provides a soft, insulating layer that traps heat efficiently. Unlike traditional heavy coats, this mid-weight soft shell offers a streamlined fit that allows for a full range of movement, which is particularly beneficial for active roles in hospitality or event management.
The attention to detail extends to the finishing; the open cuffs and hem provide a clean, uncluttered look, while the tear-out label is a thoughtful addition for those who find traditional tags irritating or wish to rebrand the garment internally. The fabric’s technical composition ensures it remains breathable enough to prevent overheating during periods of physical exertion.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL'S Race Hooded Soft Shell is specifically designed with decoration in mind, featuring dedicated access points to ensure a superior finish. For a traditional and highly durable professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. This method is particularly effective for company logos and staff names, providing a textured, high-quality finish that withstands regular laundering.
If your branding requires a larger, more vibrant display—perhaps for event staff or promotional teams—printing is an excellent alternative. Our expert team in Telford, with a heritage stretching back to 1976, manages all customisation in-house. We ensure that your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the integrity of the showerproof fabric while ensuring your logo remains prominent and clear.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for hospitality and event staff who require a smart, unified appearance while working outdoors or in drafty venues. It is equally effective for corporate site visits, delivery personnel, or as a premium addition to a general staff uniform for those who appreciate a more sustainable clothing choice without losing technical performance.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layering you intend to wear beneath the jacket. As it features a fleece lining, it functions well over a simple polo shirt or base layer. The drop hem is a practical feature for those who are frequently active, so ensure you choose a size that allows for the intended length at the rear. For a complete professional look, consider matching this with our range of recycled trousers.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical properties of your soft shell is essential for ensuring its long-term performance and the longevity of your custom branding.
We recommend a domestic wash at the temperature specified on the internal label. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and significantly reduce the effectiveness of the showerproof finish over time.
Always wash the garment inside out. This simple step protects your embroidered or printed logo from abrasion against the washing machine drum, keeping the branding sharp and vibrant. Do not use bleach, as this will damage the recycled polyester fibres and cause discolouration of your logo.
For drying, it is best to air dry the jacket. High heat from tumble dryers can compromise the synthetic fibres and the adhesive used in printed designs. If ironing is necessary, ensure it is done on a low heat setting and never directly over the decorated areas.
