FAQs

Is the Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer fully waterproof?

No, the bodywarmer features a water-repellent finish, which means it will repel light rain and drizzles. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.

Can I wear this bodywarmer in cold winter weather?

The bodywarmer provides lightweight warmth, making it suitable for cooler days and transitional seasons. For very cold winter weather, it is recommended to use it as an insulating mid-layer under a heavier, warmer coat.

How do I adjust the waist for a better fit?

Locate the adjustable shockcords positioned at the waist. Gently pull on these cords to cinch the waist in, creating a more fitted and flattering silhouette. Release the cords to loosen the fit.

What is Warmloft padding?

Warmloft is a high-performance synthetic insulation designed by Regatta. It provides lightweight, down-touch warmth, effectively trapping heat to keep you comfortable in cool conditions.

Are the pockets secure for holding personal items?

Yes, the Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer features zipped lower pockets, ensuring your personal items like keys, phone, or wallet are securely stored and won't fall out during your activities.

What material is the bodywarmer made from?

The Regatta Rurietta Longer Length Bodywarmer is made from 100% polyester, both for its outer fabric and its Warmloft insulation.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be diminishing.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they can coat the fibers and reduce water repellency. After several washes, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may naturally wear off. Consider re-applying a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics.

The insulation feels clumpy after washing.

This can happen if the `Warmloft` padding settles during drying. Tumble dry on a low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. If hang drying, periodically fluff and pat the bodywarmer by hand to redistribute the insulation evenly.

The bodywarmer feels too loose or unflattering.

Utilize the adjustable shockcord waist. Gently pull the cords to cinch the waist, creating a more defined and flattering silhouette. Experiment with different levels of adjustment until you find your desired fit.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or a dedicated zipper wax) to the zipper teeth. Work the zipper up and down a few times to distribute the lubricant evenly. Ensure there's no fabric caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started

Your Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it and it's ready to wear. Adjust the shockcord waist to achieve your preferred fit.

Compatibility

This bodywarmer is designed for versatile layering. It pairs well with:

  • Base Layers: Wear over t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, or thin thermal layers.
  • Mid-Layers: Compatible with light fleeces, thin jumpers, or hoodies underneath for added warmth.
  • Outer Layers: Can be worn under a waterproof jacket or heavier coat for extreme cold, acting as an insulating mid-layer.

Product Care

Proper care will maintain the bodywarmer's insulation and water-repellent properties. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions, but general guidelines for polyester clothing with synthetic insulation include:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers before washing.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish and insulation performance.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of clean tennis balls (or specific drying balls) to help fluff up the `Warmloft` insulation. Alternatively, hang dry in a well-ventilated area, gently patting the insulation periodically to prevent clumping.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron.
  6. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  7. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated space when not in use.
