Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Frankie Borg Bodywarmer is an ideal choice for adults seeking versatile core insulation without the bulk of a full-sleeved jacket. It excels at keeping your torso warm during outdoor activities or casual daily wear, allowing for complete arm mobility; however, it lacks water-repellent outer shells, meaning it is best suited for dry conditions or as a mid-layer under a waterproof coat.

FAQs

Is this bodywarmer waterproof?

No, the Frankie Borg is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It is intended for dry weather or as an insulating layer.

Can I wear this while cycling?

Yes, its sleeveless design provides excellent mobility, though it is best suited for dry, cool days rather than wet or windy ones.

What is the best way to keep the collar looking neat?

Always hang the garment on a proper hanger when not in use to allow the collar to sit naturally without folding or creasing.

Does the size match standard measurements?

The Frankie Borg generally follows standard adult sizing. If you plan to wear it over bulky sweaters, you may prefer a slightly roomier fit.

Can this be ironed?

It is generally not recommended to iron fleece garments, as the heat can melt the fibers and destroy the loft.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or sticks.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; you can gently rub a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Fleece looks slightly matted after washing.

Once dry, gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled garment brush to lift the fibers and restore its original texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent core warmth without restricting movement
  • High-quality flat seam construction prevents chafing
  • Three separate pockets provide ample storage for valuables
  • Stretch cuffs help maintain shape and trap heat
  • Versatile design works as both an outer layer and an under-layer

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy rain or wet conditions
  • No hood for head protection
  • Material may pill if not washed according to instructions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment requires no setup—simply layer it over your chosen top. It is highly compatible with long-sleeve knitwear, flannel shirts, or base-layer thermals. To ensure the longevity of the fleece fabric:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to preserve the fabric integrity.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid heavy bleach or fabric softeners which can clog the fleece fibers.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to avoid heat damage to the synthetic fibers. If using a dryer, select the lowest heat setting.
  4. Storage: Hang the bodywarmer on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the collar and armholes.
