Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Body Warmer is an ideal choice for women seeking a lightweight yet insulating layer during transitional or colder weather. Crafted from high-pile, brushed polyester borg, this sleeveless gilet provides reliable core warmth without restricting arm movement; however, it lacks a hood, which may necessitate an additional hat or scarf during heavy wind or precipitation.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie body warmer waterproof?
No, it is made of polyester borg fleece and is designed for warmth, not as a waterproof outer layer.
Can I wear this under a coat?
Yes, its lightweight Warmloft insulation makes it an ideal mid-layer that fits comfortably under most standard winter jackets.
Does the borg material shed?
While minor shedding can occur with any high-pile fleece, the flatlock stitching and quality construction minimize this significantly.
How warm is the Warmloft filling?
Warmloft is highly insulating and engineered to mimic the properties of natural down, providing excellent heat retention even if the garment becomes damp.
What is the best way to clean off stains?
Spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals to protect the polyester fibers.
Troubleshooting
Borg fleece looks matted after washing
Once dry, gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled garment brush to restore the loft and texture.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth; you can lightly rub a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your body warmer lasts, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the borg pile from matting.
- Storage: Hang the garment when not in use to maintain its shape, or fold neatly to avoid compressing the insulation excessively.
- Compatibility: This garment is designed for easy layering. Pair it with thermal base layers or lightweight knitwear for the best thermal performance.
