Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Professional Flux Bodywarmer is an ideal choice for outdoor workers and active professionals who need a versatile, lightweight layering piece that provides core warmth without restricting arm movement. Crafted from a warm-backed woven stretch softshell fabric, it offers excellent wind resistance and a durable water repellent finish to keep you protected during light showers; however, because it is sleeveless, it is best suited as a mid-layer or outer layer in mild to cool conditions rather than for extreme winter weather.

FAQs
Is this bodywarmer waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will protect against light showers and damp conditions, but it is not fully waterproof in heavy or sustained rain.
Can I wear this over a thick jacket?
The Flux Bodywarmer is designed as a mid-layer or outer layer. If you intend to wear it over a bulky jacket, ensure you have sized up to allow for proper movement.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
Avoid fabric softeners when washing. If the water-repellent properties fade, you can restore them using a specialized after-wash DWR treatment.
Is the fabric machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a cool, gentle cycle and checking the care label for specific temperature guidance.
What is the primary benefit of softshell fabric?
Softshell is prized for its balance of comfort, stretch, breathability, and wind resistance, making it superior to rigid, non-stretchy waterproof materials for active tasks.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash the garment and re-apply a professional DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth; gently clean the zipper track with a soft brush and avoid forcing the slider.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your bodywarmer retains its protective finish, proper care is essential. It is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish from the softshell fabric. For drying, a cool tumble dry or air drying is best. Periodically check the shockcord hem for tension; if it becomes loose, ensure the toggle is properly engaged. When sizing, consider that this garment is designed to be worn over standard base layers; if you plan to wear it over a heavy sweater or thick fleece, you may want to verify the fit against the chest measurements to ensure comfort.
