SoulCal 2 Zip Bubble Jacket - Black - 10

The SoulCal 2 Zip Bubble Jacket provides superior insulation for general winter conditions. For extremely harsh or sub-zero temperatures, it is recommended to layer effectively underneath or consider specialized extreme-weather outerwear.

The product description mentions a 'set-in hood,' which indicates that the hood is integrated into the jacket and is not detachable.

This jacket is designed for casual winter activities and everyday wear, offering warmth and style. While warm, it may not possess the technical features such as high breathability, specific waterproofing, or range of motion required for performance winter sports like skiing or snowboarding.

The use of 55% Recycled Polyester means that a significant portion of the material is made from recycled plastic, helping to reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new polyester, while still delivering the material's durability and insulating properties.

The jacket features a 'Regular Fit,' which is designed to be comfortable and allow for layering. We recommend selecting your usual jacket size. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit for more layering, you might consider sizing up.

While the polyester material inherently offers some resistance to light moisture, the jacket is not explicitly described as waterproof. It will provide protection against light snow or brief, light rain, but it is not intended for heavy downpours.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed, as open zips can allow cold air in. Check if you are layering appropriately underneath with thermal wear or a sweater. If recently washed, ensure the insulation is fully fluffed (see 'Jacket appears flat after washing' solution).

Gently wiggle the zipper pull. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and carefully remove it. Avoid forcing the zipper. A small amount of zipper lubricant or rubbing a pencil tip along the teeth can help it glide smoothly.

This is common for insulated jackets. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting. Add 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the dryer. These will help break up any clumps in the insulation and redistribute it evenly, restoring the jacket's loft and warmth. Repeat the drying cycle if needed until fully fluffed.

For small snags, gently pull the fabric around the snag to ease it back into place. For minor tears, a fabric repair patch or a professional repair service is recommended to prevent further damage and maintain insulation integrity.
