Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Professional Flux Bodywarmer is an ideal choice for outdoor professionals who require warmth without compromising range of motion. Designed with a soft-backed stretch fabric, it provides core insulation and wind resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile. While its durable water-repellent finish is perfect for light drizzle, it is not a fully waterproof garment and should be layered under a shell during heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it features a durable water-repellent finish that sheds light rain. It is not fully waterproof and should not be used in heavy downpours.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals and fabric softeners to protect the technical fabric coating.
What is the best way to maintain the stretch properties?
Avoid using high heat during drying, as excessive heat can degrade the elastane fibers in the stretch fabric over time.
Does this provide protection against heavy wind?
The fabric is wind-resistant, providing excellent protection against cold breezes. It is designed to balance breathability with wind-blocking performance.
What should I wear underneath for the best results?
A moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layer is recommended to keep you dry and comfortable when active.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The lower zipped pockets are designed to be spacious enough for most modern smartphones and everyday work essentials.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate it or reapply a DWR spray treatment.
Shockcord hem not staying tight
Check the toggle for debris. Ensure the cord is pulled evenly and the toggle spring mechanism is clear of dirt.
Zippers are sticking or difficult to close
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or grit. A small amount of paraffin wax or specialized zipper lubricant can restore smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Professional Flux Bodywarmer, proper care is essential:
- Fitting: Adjust the shockcord at the hem by pulling the toggle to cinch the waist, which prevents wind from creeping up beneath the garment.
- Layering: Wear over a moisture-wicking base layer or a lightweight fleece. Avoid bulky sweaters if you prefer a streamlined fit.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish from the fabric.
- Maintenance: To refresh the DWR coating after several washes, tumble dry on a low heat setting or use an iron on a low temperature to help reactivate the repellent finish. Always check the internal garment label for specific temperature guidelines.
