FAQs

Is this bodywarmer suitable for very cold weather?

The bodywarmer provides lightweight insulation, making it ideal for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece in colder conditions. For extreme cold, additional warm layers would be necessary.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. It's often recommended to check your bust measurement and compare it with the garment's measurements for the best fit.

Can this be worn in the rain?

The bodywarmer has a water-repellent finish, which will help shed light rain. It is not waterproof, so it may not provide sufficient protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.

What does 'down-free fill' mean?

Down-free fill means the insulation is made from synthetic materials rather than natural down feathers. This often makes the garment easier to care for and can perform better when damp.

How should I clean the bodywarmer?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat.

What is the main benefit of a bodywarmer?

The main benefit of a bodywarmer is to keep your core warm while allowing maximum freedom of movement for your arms, making it ideal for activities where arm mobility is key.

Can this bodywarmer be packed easily for travel?

Yes, it is designed to be lightweight and packable, making it easy to compress and store in a backpack or luggage for trips.

Troubleshooting

Item arrived creased or flattened

Hang the bodywarmer and allow it to air out for a few hours, or tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help restore its loft and shape.

Water repellency seems reduced

Follow the care instructions for washing. Consider applying a specialist re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outdoor apparel.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper while applying slight pressure. You can try rubbing a pencil lead or a small amount of wax along the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides essential core warmth without restricting movement.
  • Water-repellent finish offers protection from light precipitation.
  • Lightweight and packable for easy transport on adventures.
  • Durable material ensures longevity for outdoor activities.
  • Suitable for layering over or under other garments.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth in extremely cold conditions without additional layers.
  • Sleeveless design means arms are exposed to the elements.
  • Water repellency may diminish with frequent washing or heavy downpours.
  • Fit may vary, so trying it on or consulting size charts is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Hillpack II Bodywarmer requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This bodywarmer is designed for women and is intended to be worn as outerwear or a layering piece. It pairs well with various activewear and casual clothing, such as t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, fleeces, and waterproof jackets.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. It is recommended to wash with similar colors.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It may be beneficial to add clean tennis balls to the dryer to help restore the loft of the insulation.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. Heat can damage the fabric and affect the water-repellent treatment.
  • Cleaning: Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the material and water-repellent properties.
  • Repellency: To maintain water repellency, re-waterproofing treatments can be applied periodically according to product instructions.
