Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Body Warmer is an ideal choice for adults seeking versatile mid-layer insulation without the bulk of traditional jackets. Crafted with a soft, 280gsm brushed fleece pile and lightweight Warmloft filling, it provides excellent core warmth for everyday activities or light outdoor pursuits. While it is perfect for layering during transitional weather, the sleeveless design means it should not be relied upon as a primary shield against extreme wind or heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this vest waterproof?
No, the Regatta Frankie Borg Body Warmer is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and insulation, not as a shell for rainy conditions.
What is Warmloft filling?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation technology that mimics the properties of natural down, offering excellent heat retention while remaining lightweight and compressible.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, because of its low-bulk design and lightweight construction, it is specifically designed to work well as an insulating layer under outer shells.
Does the sizing run true to size?
The garment is sized for standard adult fits. We recommend checking the provided UK dress sizing to ensure a comfortable fit over your chosen layers.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester fleece construction allows for good airflow, making it comfortable for active use without causing overheating.
Troubleshooting
The zip feels stuck or stiff.
Check for any trapped fleece fibers along the zip track. Gently clear the track and apply a light touch of silicone lubricant if necessary.
The fleece appears matted after washing.
Once dry, gently brush the pile with a soft-bristle garment brush to lift the fibers and restore the soft texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This body warmer is ready to wear immediately upon arrival. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance of the fleece pile.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which may damage the Warmloft insulation or synthetic binding.
- Storage: Hang the garment on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape.
- Compatibility: The standard neck and sleek fit make it highly compatible with various mid-layers, including hoodies and flannel shirts.
