FAQs
What is the main benefit of the feather-free insulation?
The feather-free insulation (Warmloft) offers excellent warmth, compressibility, and durability while being made from recycled materials, providing a sustainable and effective alternative to natural down.
Is this bodywarmer suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Marizion Bodywarmer has a water-repellent finish, which is designed to protect against light rainfall or drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and may not be sufficient for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How should I wash the bodywarmer to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cool (30°C) on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat, ideally with tennis balls to help restore insulation loft.
Can I wear this bodywarmer in very cold weather?
The bodywarmer is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it under a heavier, insulated jacket for adequate warmth.
What material is the bodywarmer made of?
The outer shell is made from 100% lightweight 20D polyamide fabric, and it features a polyamide lining.
Does it have many pockets?
Yes, it features two zippered lower pockets for secure storage of essentials.
What does 'stretch-bound' mean in relation to the hem and armholes?
Stretch-bound means that elasticated binding is used on the edges of the armholes and the hem. This provides a snug fit, helps to keep out wind and rain, and allows for greater freedom of movement.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Loss of water repellency
Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing and drying according to product instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before re-applying.
Insulation appears clumpy after washing
Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. The balls help to break up any clumps and restore the insulation's loft.
Garment feels less warm than expected
Check if the water-repellent finish has diminished or if the insulation requires refreshing through tumble drying. Ensure it is layered appropriately for the temperature.
