Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer - Black, 16

No, it features a `water-repellent finish`, which means it will shed light rain and moisture to keep you drier. It is not fully waterproof and will eventually become saturated in heavy or prolonged rain.

For best results, always refer to the care label inside the garment. Generally, polyester padded items can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dried flat, or tumble dried on low with dryer balls to help restore loft.

`Warmloft` is a high-performance synthetic, `down-touch padding` designed to provide lightweight insulation and warmth. It mimics the feel and thermal properties of natural down but is often more resilient to moisture and easier to care for.

No, the bodywarmer features a `grown-on hood`, meaning it is an integrated part of the design and is not detachable.

The bodywarmer is equipped with an `adjustable shockcord waist`. Locate the toggles, usually found inside or near the hem of the waist, and pull the shockcord to cinch the waist to your desired fit for a more flattering silhouette.

The Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer provides `lightweight warmth` and is ideal for `cooler days` or as a `layering piece` in mild winter conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over substantial thermal wear or under a heavier winter coat, as it does not provide arm coverage.

The Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer is primarily made from `Polyester`, which contributes to its durability, water-repellent properties, and easy care.

Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. Bodywarmers provide core warmth but do not cover arms. For colder conditions, wear a warm long-sleeved base layer or a thicker jumper underneath to maximize insulation.

Over time, the water-repellent finish can wear off due to wear and washing. Try washing the bodywarmer with a technical wash designed for water-repellent fabrics, then tumble drying it on low, or applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outerwear to reactivate or restore the repellency.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently pull it away. If the zipper is still stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant or even rubbing a graphite pencil tip along the teeth can help it move more smoothly.
