Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Body Warmer is an ideal layering piece for active adults seeking lightweight warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. Featuring a cozy 280gsm brushed fleece pile and Warmloft insulation, it excels as an insulating mid-layer for brisk walks or transitional weather, though it lacks water-repellent properties, making it unsuitable for heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the Regatta Frankie Borg Body Warmer is designed for warmth and insulation, not as a waterproof outer layer.
What is the weight of the fleece used?
The body warmer features a 280gsm (grams per square meter) brushed fleece pile.
Can I wear this while hiking?
Yes, its sleeveless design and Warmloft insulation make it an excellent choice for temperature regulation during active outdoor pursuits.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, it includes two lower pockets suitable for storing small personal items.
How should I wash my Frankie Borg Body Warmer?
Wash it on a cool, gentle machine cycle and hang it to air dry to maintain the integrity of the fleece and insulation.
Troubleshooting
Fleece appearing matted after washing
Gently brush the fabric with a soft-bristled garment brush once dry to restore the original pile texture.
Zipper sticking during use
Ensure the fabric edges are clear of the track; a light application of silicone-based zipper lubricant can help if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical fleece garment, proper care is essential to preserve the loft and softness of the borg fabric.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to prevent the fleece from matting.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the synthetic fibers of the Warmloft insulation.
- Layering: Designed to fit over standard base layers and sweaters. If you plan to wear it over bulky knits, ensure your standard size provides enough room for comfort.
- Storage: Hang the garment on a proper coat hanger to preserve the shape of the curved hem and prevent creasing.
