FAQs
What does 'mock layer 2 zip design' mean?
This refers to a double-zipper system where an inner zipper creates the appearance of a layered garment. This design provides extra insulation by adding another barrier against cold air and wind, enhancing warmth without needing to wear multiple pieces.
Is this jacket waterproof?
The product description emphasizes warmth and wind protection but does not specify waterproofing. While the polyester material offers some natural resistance to light moisture, it is not designed as a fully waterproof rain jacket.
How should I store the jacket during off-season?
Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before storing. Fasten all zippers. Store it on a sturdy, padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its shape and material integrity.
Can I wear this jacket for skiing or snowboarding?
This jacket is designed for casual winter outings and city wear, providing warmth and comfort. While it offers good insulation, it may not have the specific features required for high-performance winter sports, such as advanced waterproofing, breathability for intense activity, or specialized pockets for lift passes and goggles. It is best suited for general cold weather rather than extreme winter sports.
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The jacket is composed of 55% Recycled Polyester and 45% Polyester. This blend contributes to its durability, warmth, and provides a sustainable element.
How do I know what size to choose?
This specific variant is size M. For general sizing, we recommend referring to SoulCal's official size guide, if available, which typically provides measurements for chest, waist, and arm length to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed, especially the mock layer 2 zip. Check if the high collar is upright. Consider layering appropriately underneath for very cold conditions. The jacket is designed for general winter use, not extreme cold.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If there's no fabric, rub a graphite pencil or a tiny bit of wax (like a candle) along the teeth to lubricate it. Do not force the zipper.
Faux fur trim looks matted or tangled after washing.
After washing and drying, gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush (like a pet brush or wide-tooth comb) to fluff it up. Avoid harsh brushing while wet.
Jacket appears wrinkled or creased.
As the jacket is not to be ironed, hang it in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a fabric steamer from a safe distance to gently relax wrinkles. Lay flat to dry if using steam.
Pilling or bobbling appears on the fabric surface.
Pilling can occur with friction. Use a fabric shaver or a pilling comb to carefully remove the pills. To prevent pilling, wash the jacket inside out and avoid rubbing it against rough surfaces.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your SoulCal 2 Zip Bubble Jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for the most accurate instructions.
- Machine Washable: The jacket is suitable for machine washing. Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and faux fur.
- Faux Fur Trim: For best results and to preserve the faux fur's appearance, consider removing it if detachable before washing, or place the jacket in a mesh laundry bag. If not detachable, lay flat to dry to help maintain its shape.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or air dry by laying flat or hanging on a padded hanger. Avoid direct heat or direct sunlight, which can damage the polyester fibers. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it's clean and completely dry before storing for extended periods.
