Product Information
Full details
The SOLS Shield Windproof Jacket is designed for active adults who need a reliable, lightweight outer layer for unpredictable weather. It excels in providing windproof and snowproof protection through its durable water repellent finish, making it an ideal choice for outdoor commuters or light hiking. While it offers excellent versatility and a secure fit, users should note that as a lightweight shell, it is best utilized as part of a layering system rather than as a heavy-duty winter parka.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?
It is water-repellent and snowproof, designed to shield you from light moisture and snow, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rain.
Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?
The jacket provides excellent wind protection, but it has minimal insulation. It is best used as an outer shell over sweaters or thermal base layers in cold weather.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard adult sizing. Refer to the size chart provided for your specific country to ensure a comfortable fit for layering.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design with a drawcord for adjustability.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is constructed from 100% polyester, chosen for its durability and lightweight performance characteristics.
Is it machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend following the care instructions on the label, specifically avoiding high heat and fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
The water-repellent finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket to remove surface dirt and apply a commercial DWR re-waterproofing spray.
The zipper feels stiff or sticks.
Check the zipper track for debris or fabric fibers. Clean the track with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
- Re-treating: After prolonged use or several washes, the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish may decrease. You can restore this using a standard DWR spray treatment.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before folding it for long-term storage to prevent odors.
