FAQs

What is the main benefit of a body warmer?

A body warmer provides core warmth without restricting arm movement, making it ideal for layering during physical activities or in mild weather.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is suitable for light rain or drizzle. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof outer shell would be more appropriate.

How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?

Wash the garment according to the care instructions and consider re-applying a DWR treatment periodically, especially after multiple washes, to restore its effectiveness.

Can this be worn by both men and women?

Yes, this body warmer is designed as a unisex garment for adults.

What kind of filling does it use?

It uses synthetic down filling, which offers good insulation and retains warmth even when damp.

How should I wash the body warmer?

Machine wash warm (30°C or 40°C) inside out with similar colours, using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What does 'Grown On Hood' mean?

'Grown On Hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the main body of the garment, rather than being a separate piece that can be zipped or buttoned on.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency has decreased.

Clean the garment according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in).

Filling appears clumpy after washing.

Ensure the garment is completely dry. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and try moving the zip carefully. A graphite pencil can also be used to lubricate the teeth.

Garment feels too bulky or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If layering, consider wearing thinner base layers underneath. The shockcord hem can be adjusted for a more comfortable fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides core warmth while allowing full arm mobility.
  • Water-repellent finish offers protection from light rain.
  • Made from recycled materials, supporting sustainability.
  • Synthetic down filling provides effective insulation.
  • Adjustable hood and hem enhance comfort and protection.

Cons

  • Sleeveless design offers no arm insulation.
  • May not be sufficient for very cold weather as a standalone layer.
  • DWR finish effectiveness can diminish over time with wear and washing.
  • Relies on synthetic filling, which may not offer the same compressibility as natural down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: The body warmer is designed for unisex adult wear and can be layered over various base layers, such as t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, or light fleeces. It pairs well with hiking trousers, jeans, or outdoor-specific bottoms.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash warm (30°C or 40°C recommended) inside out with similar colours.
  2. Detergent: Use a liquid detergent; avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners, as they can affect the DWR finish and insulation.
  3. Rinsing: Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to restore the loft of the synthetic filling.
  5. Re-proofing: For best results and to maintain water repellency, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer specifically designed for outdoor apparel after several washes.
  6. Ironing: Do not iron.
