FAQs
Is the Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer waterproof?
No, it features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will shed light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this bodywarmer in winter?
Yes, it is suitable for winter as a layering piece. Wear it over a warm base layer or under a heavier winter coat for added insulation and core warmth.
How do I clean my bodywarmer?
Always check the care label inside your garment for specific instructions. Generally, polyester bodywarmers can be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat drying.
What is Warmloft padding?
Warmloft is Regatta's synthetic insulation designed to replicate the warmth and softness of natural down, while maintaining performance even when wet. It provides excellent lightweight warmth.
Does it have internal pockets?
The product description specifies zipped lower pockets for secure storage. Internal pockets are not mentioned.
What activities is this bodywarmer best suited for?
It's ideal for casual strolls, light outdoor meet-ups, daily wear in cooler weather, and as an extra warmth layer for various outdoor leisure activities.
Is the hood removable?
No, the bodywarmer features a 'grown-on hood,' meaning it is an integral part of the design and cannot be detached.
Troubleshooting
Bodywarmer does not feel warm enough.
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the ambient temperature. This bodywarmer is designed to provide lightweight warmth and perform best as part of a layering system. For colder conditions, wear a warmer base layer or an additional mid-layer.
Water repellency seems to be diminishing.
The water-repellent finish can wear off over time or with repeated washing. Ensure you are washing according to care instructions (avoid fabric softener). You can restore or enhance water repellency by using a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor garments.
Zipper is stiff or catching.
Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and carefully remove it. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil rubbed along the teeth can help.
Fit feels too loose or too tight around the waist.
Utilize the adjustable shockcord waist to customize the fit. Pull the cords to cinch the waist for a more tailored and warmer fit, or release them for a looser, more relaxed feel.

Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer, follow these general care guidelines for polyester materials, and always refer to the garment's specific care label for detailed instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can affect the water-repellent finish and insulation properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid high heat, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Bleaching/Ironing: Do not bleach or iron. Ironing can melt the polyester and damage the water-repellent coating.
- Water Repellency: If the water-repellent finish diminishes over time, you can re-treat the garment with a suitable water-repellent spray designed for outdoor clothing.
