Product Overview
The SOL'S Ride Padded Jacket is a sophisticated and technically capable outer layer, engineered to offer a refined professional appearance without compromising on weather protection. This midweight jacket is constructed with a focus on silhouette and utility, featuring high-quality polyester padding that provides significant thermal retention for its size. Designed for the modern professional, it balances the warmth of a traditional padded coat with the streamlined aesthetic of retail-ready apparel, making it as suitable for the boardroom as it is for the building site.
Key Features
- The polyester padding creates a reliable insulating layer that traps warmth efficiently, ensuring comfort during cold morning starts or late-evening site visits.
- A showerproof outer shell provides an essential barrier against light rain and drizzle, allowing you to remain dry and focused on the task at hand.
- The fitted styling offers a contemporary, tailored look that distinguishes your team from those in standard, oversized outerwear.
- A stand-up collar coupled with a collar-high full-length zip allows for total adjustment against wind chill, protecting the sensitive neck area from the elements.
- Two front zip pockets provide secure and easily accessible storage for hand tools, mobile phones, or keys, reducing the risk of items being lost while on the move.
- Contrast lining and zip trims provide a subtle aesthetic detail that elevates the garment's design, making it a superior choice for customer-facing roles.
- Self-colour bound cuffs and hem offer a neat, durable finish that helps seal in heat and prevents the jacket from riding up during active work.
Design & Performance
Fabricated from a resilient polyamide outer and lining, the SOL'S Ride is built to withstand the friction and tension of daily work life. Polyamide is prized in the workwear industry for its strength-to-weight ratio and its ability to maintain its shape after repeated wear. As a midweight garment, it offers the perfect middle ground—substantial enough to offer protection against a brisk breeze, yet light enough to permit a full range of physical movement. This jacket is also backed by impressive credentials, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and REACH certifications, which guarantee the fabric is free from harmful substances. Furthermore, being PETA-Approved Vegan and produced under Fair Wear Foundation standards, this jacket meets the ethical requirements of the modern corporate world.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, consistent surface of the polyamide outer makes the SOL'S Ride an ideal candidate for customisation. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. Our expert team in Telford uses high-density stitching to reproduce your logo with precision, ensuring the branding remains crisp even after exposure to the elements. For those requiring larger, more impactful designs—such as large back-prints for event staff or contractors—our high-performance print technology ensures vibrant colour and excellent adhesion. Having managed our own branding in-house since 1976, MyWorkwear ensures that every garment leaving our facility reflects your business's standards.
Use Cases
This jacket is highly versatile, making it a staple for outdoor leisure, corporate casual environments, and retail-ready lifestyle collections. It is particularly effective for site managers, supervisors, and sales professionals who require a garment that looks smart when meeting clients but can still handle a sudden change in the weather. It is also an excellent choice for team uniforms in the hospitality and events sectors where a unified, professional appearance is paramount.

Practical Advice
Due to the fitted nature of this jacket, we recommend considering your layering requirements before selection. If your staff typically wear heavy jumpers or sweatshirts underneath their outerwear, you may find that selecting one size larger than usual provides a more comfortable fit. This jacket is designed to be a midweight layer; for maximum thermal performance in sub-zero temperatures, it can be worn comfortably under a heavier waterproof parka.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the showerproof properties of your jacket, it is important to follow correct washing procedures. We recommend closing all zips before laundering to prevent the zipper teeth from catching on the polyamide fabric or damaging the internal padding during the wash cycle.
Avoid the use of fabric softeners and bleaching agents. These chemicals can break down the showerproof coating and cause the polyester padding to lose its loft, which directly impacts the jacket's ability to keep you warm and dry. Regular washing at moderate temperatures will ensure the garment remains clean without compromising the fabric.
We advise air drying the jacket rather than using a tumble dryer. High heat can cause synthetic fabrics like polyamide to shrink or distort, and it may also damage the bond of any printed logos. Once dry, store the jacket on a hanger to maintain its fitted shape and ensure it is ready for your next shift.
