FAQs
Is the Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer waterproof?
No, it features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will shed light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a dedicated waterproof outer shell.
Can I wear this bodywarmer in winter?
Yes, for layering. While it provides good lightweight warmth, for very cold winter conditions, it's best used as an insulating mid-layer under a heavier, weather-resistant coat or jacket.
What is Warmloft padding?
Warmloft padding is a soft-touch, synthetic insulation developed by Regatta. It's designed to mimic the feel and performance of natural down, providing excellent warmth without the bulk, even when damp.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer features a grown-on hood, which means it is permanently attached to the bodywarmer and cannot be removed.
How should I clean my bodywarmer?
Always check the specific care label inside your garment. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low heat to protect the Warmloft padding.
What are the zipped pockets for?
The zipped lower pockets provide secure storage for your small personal items like keys, phone, or wallet, preventing them from falling out during activity.
Troubleshooting
Bodywarmer doesn't feel warm enough
Ensure you are layering appropriately. This bodywarmer is an insulation layer; combine it with suitable base layers and outer shells for colder conditions. Adjust the waist shockcord to trap more body heat.
Water-repellent feature seems to be less effective
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can wear off over time or with washing. Re-treat the bodywarmer with a DWR spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor gear, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, try lubricating the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil. Keep zippers clean from dirt and debris.
Fit feels too loose or bulky around the waist
Utilize the adjustable shockcord waist. Pull the cords to cinch the waist for a more tailored and flattering fit, which also helps to retain warmth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Using your Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer is straightforward. Simply put it on over your chosen base layer. To optimize the fit and warmth retention, adjust the shockcord waist to your desired snugness. Ensure the front zipper is fully closed for maximum warmth.
Compatibility:
This bodywarmer is designed as an excellent layering piece. It can be comfortably worn:
- Over long-sleeved t-shirts, light sweaters, or hoodies for added warmth on mild days.
- Underneath a waterproof shell or heavier jacket for extra insulation in colder, wetter conditions.
- With various casual and activewear outfits due to its modern silhouette.
Care:
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your bodywarmer.
- Washing: Info needed: Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Drying: Info needed: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry flat to help maintain the integrity of the Warmloft padding. Avoid direct high heat.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.
