Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Flux Softshell Bodywarmer is an ideal choice for active adults who need a versatile, lightweight layering piece that provides core warmth without restricting arm movement. Crafted from a warm-backed woven stretch fabric, it offers excellent flexibility and wind resistance, making it perfect for outdoor work or light hiking. A notable caveat is that while it features a water-repellent finish, the softshell material is designed for weather resistance rather than heavy, sustained rainfall protection.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not seam-sealed or designed for heavy downpours.
Can I machine wash this bodywarmer?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a cool cycle and avoiding fabric softeners to protect the technical coating.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The design features two zipped lower pockets and one dedicated zipped chest pocket for secure storage.
How should I adjust the hem?
Use the adjustable shockcord located at the hem to pull the material tighter against your body for a custom fit.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the stretch softshell fabric is designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape during active use.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beading on the surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Consider using a technical wash-in re-proofer to restore water resistance.
Zippers sticking or feeling stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If they persist, gently clean with a soft brush and consider applying a tiny amount of zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the water-repellent finish, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, it is best to wash on a cool setting with technical gear detergent to avoid clogging the breathable pores of the fabric.
Compatibility Tip: This bodywarmer is designed with an athletic, streamlined fit. If you plan to wear it over a heavy fleece or thick sweater, you may want to test your mobility to ensure the fit remains comfortable. Utilize the internal shockcord at the hem to prevent drafts from entering from underneath during windy conditions.
