Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Aveline Body Warmer is an ideal layering piece for outdoor enthusiasts who need extra core warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. Designed for women, this long-length, sleeveless gilet features advanced Warmloft insulation and a water-repellent finish, making it a reliable companion for transitional weather. While it excels at trapping heat, the lightweight 62gsm fabric is best suited for mild to moderate conditions rather than extreme sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design, meaning it is permanently attached to the garment.

Can this be worn in heavy rain?

It is water-repellent, not waterproof. It will handle light showers, but a proper waterproof jacket is recommended for heavy rain.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The body warmer uses 62gsm fabric, which is specifically chosen for its lightweight and insulating properties.

Is the insulation real down?

No, it uses Warmloft technology, which is a high-performance, synthetic alternative to down that remains warm even when wet.

Does the hood have a drawstring?

Yes, it features an adjustable drawstring so you can tighten it for a customized fit against the wind.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric

The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash the garment and apply a specialized spray-on water-repellent treatment.

Insulation feels flat after washing

Tumble dry the garment on low heat with dryer balls to fluff up the Warmloft fibers.

Zipper feels stiff

Clear any debris from the zipper track and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub a pencil lead along the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Stylish quilted design with adjustable hood
  • Durable water-repellent finish for light showers
  • Highly compressible and easy to pack

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy or prolonged rainfall
  • Lacks fleece-lined pockets for added hand warmth
  • Only provides insulation for the core

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your body warmer lasts, follow these guidelines:

  1. Compatibility: Best worn over long-sleeved base layers or thin fleece sweaters.
  2. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent finish.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls in the drum to help restore the loft of the insulation. Do not bleach or iron.
  4. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the quilt pattern.
