Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer is an ideal choice for adults seeking versatile core warmth during transitional weather, offering a practical combination of synthetic down insulation and a water-repellent finish. While it excels as a durable layer for outdoor activities, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it is designed for layering rather than providing complete arm protection in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is the hood detachable?
No, the Regatta Aldthorn features a grown-on hood that is permanently attached.
Can this be worn in heavy rain?
It is designed with a water-repellent finish for light showers, but it is not waterproof and should not be used as a primary raincoat.
Does it run true to size?
Yes, the product follows standard adult sizing. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, some users prefer to size up.
What is the filling made of?
The garment uses synthetic down filling, which is designed to provide warmth while mimicking the loft of traditional down.
Are the materials recycled?
Yes, the Regatta Aldthorn is constructed using recycled polyester materials.
How do I adjust the hem?
There is a built-in shockcord adjuster located at the hem, which you can pull and secure to tighten the bottom of the gilet against wind.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface
The DWR finish may have worn off. Apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray and tumble dry on low to reactivate the treatment.
Filling feels clumped after washing
Dry the garment in the machine with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff and redistribute the synthetic insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer, proper maintenance is essential. Always check the internal care label before washing; generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry, and consider using a tumble dryer for a short period to help redistribute the synthetic filling. For compatibility, this gilet fits well over fleece sweaters or long-sleeved base layers, making it a highly versatile component of a traditional layering system.
