Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Mens Softshell Body Warmer is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, wind-resistant, and water-repellent layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing core warmth without restricting arm movement, making it ideal for transitional weather. A potential caveat is its sleeveless design, which may not offer sufficient warmth in very cold conditions. Key features include Isoflex fabric technology for stretch and protection, multiple zipped pockets for secure storage, and a shockcord hem for adjustable fit.

FAQs

What kind of weather is this bodywarmer best for?

It is ideal for mild to cool conditions, offering wind resistance and protection against light rain. It's excellent for transitional seasons or as a layering piece under a heavier jacket.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The fabric is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light showers or drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I find the right size?

Please refer to the size chart provided in the product description. Chest measurements are given in inches (e.g., S: 38 in.).

Is this machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable at 40°C. Please follow the specific care instructions regarding detergent and avoiding fabric softeners.

What does 'Isoflex' mean?

Isoflex is Regatta's own fabric technology, typically referring to a stretchable, durable, and often quick-drying material used in their outdoor apparel. It provides comfort and performance for active use.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

Yes, you can tumble dry it on a low heat setting. This is also recommended for reactivating the water-repellent finish.

Does it have an adjustable hem?

Yes, it features a shockcord hem that can be adjusted to tighten the fit around the waist, helping to keep out drafts.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Clean the garment according to care instructions and tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the finish. For a more significant boost, consider using a re-proofing spray suitable for softshell fabrics after washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull any trapped fabric away. You can try lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a small amount of wax.

Garment feels less warm than expected

This bodywarmer is designed for core warmth and is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For colder weather, consider wearing it over a warmer insulating layer like a fleece or down jacket.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent stretch and freedom of movement due to the softshell fabric.
  • Good protection against wind and light showers.
  • Lightweight and packable, making it easy to carry.
  • Multiple secure pockets for convenience.
  • Breathable and quick-drying properties enhance comfort.

Cons

  • Sleeveless design offers limited warmth for extreme cold.

  • Plaid pattern might not suit all personal styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Simply unpack and wear.

Compatibility: The Regatta Professional Mens Softshell Body Warmer is designed for general outdoor and casual wear. It pairs well with long-sleeved shirts, fleeces, or jackets.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of your bodywarmer:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent.
  2. Detergents: Avoid using powder detergents or biological powders.
  3. Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's water-repellent properties.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. For best results in restoring water repellency, a low tumble dry is recommended.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron. If ironing is absolutely necessary, use a very low heat setting and iron on the reverse side.
