Full details
The Regatta Professional Flux Bodywarmer is an ideal choice for outdoor professionals and active individuals who require core warmth without sacrificing arm mobility. Crafted from warm-backed woven stretch softshell fabric, it provides a balance of wind resistance and water-repellent protection, making it suitable for unpredictable weather. While it offers excellent versatility for layering, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it is best suited for active work environments where temperature regulation is a priority rather than heavy-duty cold weather exposure.

FAQs
Is this garment machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle. Always check the garment label for specific temperature instructions.
Can I wear this over a thick jacket?
It is designed to be worn as a mid-layer or outer layer. Wearing it over a bulky jacket may restrict your range of motion.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
Yes, it is made from woven stretch softshell fabric, specifically designed to allow for a full range of motion.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The zipped lower pockets are designed to be secure and are generally spacious enough to accommodate most standard-sized smartphones.
Is the material waterproof?
The bodywarmer is water-repellent and wind-resistant, meaning it provides protection against light rain and wind, but it is not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The water-repellent finish may have worn off; apply a garment-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray and reactivate with light heat according to instructions.
Zip becomes stuck or difficult to close
Check for loose threads or debris caught in the track. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub a pencil lead on the teeth to smooth the movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the softshell fabric, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the shockcord hem by pulling the toggles until the bodywarmer fits snugly against your hips to prevent wind ingress.
- Layering: Wear over a moisture-wicking base layer or a lightweight shirt for optimal temperature regulation. It is slim enough to fit under a heavy waterproof jacket in extreme winter conditions.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use specialized technical garment detergent if possible, and avoid fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Air dry the garment on a hanger away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the fabric elasticity.
