Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer is a versatile, high-performance layering piece designed for adults who need core warmth without sacrificing mobility. Featuring synthetic down insulation and a water-repellent finish, it is ideal for outdoor activities, commuting, or casual wear in unpredictable weather. While it provides excellent thermal regulation, its sleeveless design means it is best utilized as part of a layered clothing system rather than as a standalone garment in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, cold cycle. Always zip all closures before washing.
Does it have a waterproof rating?
The garment has a water-repellent finish for light rain, but it is not classified as waterproof or seam-sealed for heavy downpours.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar.
What is the insulation made of?
It uses 300gsm synthetic down, which is a polyester-based material that retains heat even if slightly damp.
Is this garment unisex?
While some variations are gender-specific, the collection includes unisex options. Always check the specific size chart for your model.
Can I wear this over a bulky sweater?
Yes, the design is intended for layering, though we recommend choosing your standard size to ensure the armholes remain comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the garment and apply a spray-on DWR treatment to restore the water-shedding properties.
Zip feels stiff or sticking
Check for loose threads trapped in the zip track. Clean the track with a soft brush and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these guidelines:
- Compatibility: This garment functions best when layered. Wear it over a long-sleeve thermal top or a technical fleece for optimal thermal management.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying, use a low heat setting and consider adding dryer balls to help fluff the synthetic insulation.
- Re-treating: Over time, if water no longer beads on the surface, apply a specialized DWR restorer spray to the outer shell to maintain its moisture-shedding capabilities.
