Full details

FAQs

Is this bodywarmer waterproof?

No, the Regatta Frankie is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and should be paired with a shell jacket in wet conditions.

Can I wear this while running?

Yes, its lightweight nature and sleeveless design make it a great choice for active sports where arm mobility is required.

How do I choose the right size?

The Frankie bodywarmer follows standard UK women's sizing. If you prefer to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.

Does it have internal pockets?

No, the pockets are external: two lower zipped pockets and one secure chest pocket.

Is the fabric machine washable?

Yes, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Air drying is recommended for the best longevity.

Is the material stretchy?

While the main fleece fabric is insulating, the garment features specific stretch binding at the armholes and hem to provide a snug, comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes

Avoid heavy detergents and skip fabric softeners. Use a light cycle to maintain fiber loft.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure the fabric behind the zip is clear. You can rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil on the teeth to help them glide smoothly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and packable for travel
  • Provides essential core warmth without overheating
  • Excellent range of motion for arms
  • Functional pocket layout for storage
  • Stylish decorative flat seams

Cons

  • Not waterproof or windproof
  • Requires an outer shell in extreme rain
  • Slimmer fit may require sizing up for thick sweaters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the insulating properties of the fleece, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the synthetic fibers and degrade the fleece's breathability over time. Hang to dry naturally to prevent shrinkage and maintain the integrity of the stretch bindings. This bodywarmer is highly compatible with most shell jackets, acting as an insulating layer underneath during colder months. Ensure you check the sizing guide to confirm the UK fit, as the cut is designed to follow the female silhouette closely.
