Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional softshell body warmer is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and durable layer for active pursuits. Its key benefit lies in its water-repellent and wind-resistant Isoflex fabric, providing protection against the elements without sacrificing mobility. A potential caveat is that it is a body warmer, offering core warmth but no sleeve coverage, making it best suited for transitional weather or as a layering piece. This garment combines a lightweight, quick-drying design with a stretch fit for ultimate comfort and functionality, featuring a standing collar, multiple zip pockets, and a flattering shaped fit.

FAQs

Is this body warmer suitable for very cold weather?

This body warmer provides core warmth and wind resistance but lacks sleeves. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer over insulating garments like a fleece, or as an outer layer in milder, windy conditions.

What is Isoflex fabric?

Isoflex is a Regatta fabric technology that offers a combination of water repellency, wind resistance, and stretch. It's designed to be lightweight and quick-drying, making it ideal for active outdoor wear.

How do I best clean this body warmer to maintain its features?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. For best results in maintaining water repellency, use a technical wash and consider a re-proofing treatment after washing.

Can I wear this over a thick jumper?

The body warmer has a shaped fit and is designed to be worn over lighter layers such as a t-shirt or base layer for optimal comfort and mobility. Wearing it over a very thick jumper may restrict movement.

What are the pocket features?

The body warmer features two lower zip-fastened pockets for secure storage and one chest zip pocket for quick access to smaller items.

What does 'shaped fit' mean?

Shaped fit refers to a cut that is tailored to follow the natural contours of the body, offering a more flattering and less boxy silhouette compared to a straight cut.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing.

Wash the garment using a technical softshell wash or re-proofer. Avoid fabric softeners during washing, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its performance. Consider a re-proofing spray after washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently run a graphite pencil tip or a wax-based lubricant along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Garment feels less windproof than before.

Check the fabric's care label. Ensure no harsh detergents or fabric softeners were used. Re-wash with a dedicated technical wash and consider a re-proofing treatment.

Fit feels too tight or restrictive.

While the garment is designed for a shaped fit, ensure you are not over-layering underneath. The stretch fabric should allow for movement; if it feels genuinely restrictive, consider if this is the correct size or intended fit for your needs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers good protection against wind and light rain.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
  • Stretch fabric allows for excellent freedom of movement.
  • Multiple secure zip pockets for storing essentials.
  • Quick-drying material is practical for outdoor activities.

Cons

  • No sleeve coverage means it may not be sufficient for very cold weather on its own.
  • The 'shaped fit' might not suit all body types.
  • Requires specific care to maintain water-repellent properties.
  • Primarily designed for active use; may lack the insulation for casual, stationary wear in cool conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required for this garment; it is ready to wear out of the package.

Compatibility: This body warmer is designed as an outerwear or mid-layer piece. It pairs well with t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, or fleeces. It is suitable for adult women across various outdoor and casual activities.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your body warmer, please follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's performance properties, particularly the water repellency.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer specifically designed for softshell or outdoor clothing after several washes.
