Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Bodywarmer is an ideal choice for adults looking to add a reliable layer of core warmth to their everyday outdoor outfits without the restriction of sleeves. Crafted from soft, insulating polyester borg fleece, this vest offers exceptional comfort and mobility, making it perfect for transitional weather or as an extra layer beneath a heavier jacket. While it provides excellent thermal regulation for the torso, it does not provide coverage for the arms, which should be considered when planning for extreme cold or high-wind environments.

FAQs
Is this bodywarmer waterproof?
No, the Frankie Borg Bodywarmer is made of polyester fleece and is not designed to be water-resistant or waterproof.
Can I wear this under a heavy coat?
Yes, its low-profile sleeveless design makes it an excellent mid-layer for wearing underneath heavier winter coats for extra warmth.
What is the best way to wash this item?
We recommend a cool, gentle machine wash with mild detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners.
Does this garment fit true to size?
Yes, it is designed to fit as a standard outer layer. If you intend to wear very thick knits underneath, you may consider your usual size for a snug fit or sizing up for more room.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester borg fleece allows for airflow, making it comfortable for active use without causing extreme overheating.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels matted or less fluffy
Wash on a delicate cycle without fabric softener and gently brush with a soft garment brush once dry to restore the loft.
Static buildup on the fabric
Lightly mist the garment with water or use a dedicated anti-static spray, and ensure you are not over-drying the item in the machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your bodywarmer remains soft and effective, follow these care guidelines. Always check the garment label for specific temperature settings. Wash the fleece inside out on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent to prevent the fibers from matting. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the insulating properties of the synthetic fleece. Air dry whenever possible by laying the garment flat, as high heat from a tumble dryer can cause the polyester fibers to lose their loft or shape. This bodywarmer is compatible with a wide range of sizes, ranging from S to XXXL, and fits true to size for a standard athletic layering profile.
