Product Overview
The SOL'S Transformer Pro Soft Shell Jacket is an exceptionally versatile piece of technical workwear designed to adapt to the fluctuating conditions of the British climate. Constructed from a sophisticated three-layer stretch soft shell fabric, this garment serves as a multi-functional tool for the modern professional. Its standout feature is its modularity; with detachable sleeves and a removable peaked hood, the jacket can be quickly converted into a high-performance gilet. This adaptability ensures that your team remains comfortable whether they are working in a biting wind or performing high-exertion tasks in milder weather.
Key Features
- Three-Layer Technical Construction: Combines a polyester/elastane outer, a TPU membrane, and a microfleece inner to provide comprehensive protection without the bulk of traditional heavy coats.
- Waterproof and Breathable TPU Membrane: With an 8000mm rating, this membrane blocks external moisture while allowing internal perspiration to escape, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
- Detachable Sleeves and Hood: Provides ultimate flexibility, allowing the garment to be worn in multiple configurations to suit changing environments or activity levels.
- Windproof Fabric: Engineered to prevent cold air from penetrating the garment, which is essential for maintaining core body temperature on exposed sites.
- Functional Storage: Features a right chest zip pocket and two front zip pockets, all fitted with contrast zip pulls for secure storage and ease of use when wearing work gloves.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the Transformer Pro. The fabric composition of 94% polyester and 6% elastane creates a flexible outer shell that accommodates a wide range of movement, which is critical for tradespeople who require agility on the job. The microfleece inner layer provides an immediate sense of warmth and comfort against the body, acting as a thermal buffer in cooler conditions.
The design is further refined with practical details such as an inner zip guard to prevent irritation, adjustable cuffs, and a drawcord hem. These features allow the wearer to customise the fit, sealing out drafts and ensuring the jacket stays in place during physical labour. Furthermore, the garment carries several prestigious certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and Fair Wear Foundation membership, reflecting a commitment to both chemical safety and ethical manufacturing standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The stable, three-layer construction of this soft shell makes it an ideal candidate for professional customisation. For a premium, long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. The dense weave of the outer fabric supports high-quality stitching, making it perfect for displaying company logos on the chest or the now-sleeveless gilet shoulders.
For those requiring larger, high-impact branding across the back, our specialist printing techniques offer a vibrant and durable alternative. Whether you choose the traditional look of embroidery or the bold clarity of print, our expert in-house team in Telford—where we have been based since 1976—will ensure your branding is applied with the highest level of precision.
Use Cases
This jacket is specifically engineered for professionals who operate in dynamic environments. It is a superior choice for site supervisors, logistics personnel, and outdoor technicians who require a smart appearance but cannot compromise on technical performance. Its ability to transform into a gilet also makes it a favourite for warehouse staff who move frequently between cold loading bays and tempered indoor spaces.

Practical Advice
This soft shell is designed with a standard fit that allows for light layering. To get the most out of the breathable TPU membrane, we suggest wearing it over a technical base layer or a moisture-wicking polo shirt. The adjustable cuffs and hem should be used to find a secure fit that prevents heat loss while allowing for a full range of arm movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance characteristics of the TPU membrane and the integrity of your custom branding, it is vital to follow appropriate care procedures. Neglecting these can result in the fabric losing its water-resistant properties or the branding becoming degraded.
We recommend a domestic wash at a moderate temperature using a mild detergent. You must avoid the use of fabric softeners; these contain chemicals that can clog the pores of the breathable membrane, significantly reducing the jacket's ability to wick moisture away from the body.
For drying, it is best to allow the garment to air dry naturally. Subjecting the technical fibres and the elastane content to the high, direct heat of a tumble dryer can cause the material to lose its shape and may damage the adhesive bond of any printed elements.
Ironing is generally unnecessary and should be avoided. High heat from an iron can melt the synthetic outer layer and permanently damage the internal waterproof membrane, rendering the jacket's weather protection ineffective.
