Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Merida Bodywarmer is a versatile, lightweight gilet designed for adult women who need reliable core insulation for walking, travel, or everyday activities. Crafted from high-quality polyester, it provides excellent warmth through feather-free synthetic insulation while maintaining a non-restrictive fit for layering over knitwear or fleeces. While it features a water-repellent finish for damp conditions, it is not a fully waterproof outer shell, meaning it works best as a mid-layer or as an outer layer in light drizzle.

FAQs
Is this garment machine washable?
Yes, you can machine wash the bodywarmer on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the hood is adjustable and fully removable via the integrated attachment points.
Can this be worn as a mid-layer under a coat?
Absolutely. Its lightweight design allows it to sit comfortably under most waterproof shells or heavy winter jackets.
What does 'feather-free' insulation mean?
It means the insulation is made from high-quality synthetic fibers rather than down feathers, making it easier to clean and better for people with down allergies.
Are the internal pockets large enough for a phone?
Yes, the internal security pockets are designed to hold standard-sized smartphones and personal essentials.
How do I choose the right size?
The garment follows standard UK dress sizing. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer to size up.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is wearing off; wash the garment and apply a DWR spray treatment.
Zip feels stiff or sticks during use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or lint, and apply a small amount of paraffin wax or specialized lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The bodywarmer is designed for simple, everyday integration into your existing wardrobe. To ensure the longevity of the garment, wash on a gentle cycle in cold or lukewarm water using a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent finish on the polyester shell. When drying, it is recommended to air dry flat or on a hanger; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the insulation fibers. To restore the water-repellent performance over time, use a standard technical gear re-proofing spray once the fabric begins to soak up water instead of shedding it.
