FAQs
Is this bodywarmer suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Regatta Rurietta Bodywarmer has a water-repellent finish, which means it will shed light rain and drizzles. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy or prolonged rainfall. For strong downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
How should I choose the right size?
Select your usual UK dress size for a comfortable fit. If you plan to wear very bulky layers underneath, you might consider sizing up. Refer to Regatta's official size chart if available for precise measurements.
Can I wear this bodywarmer in winter?
Yes, but as a layering piece. Its Warmloft padding provides good lightweight warmth for cooler days. In colder winter conditions, it's best worn over a warm sweater or fleece, and potentially under a winter coat, depending on the temperature.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is a "grown-on" design, meaning it is integrated into the bodywarmer and cannot be detached.
How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?
Over time and with washing, the water-repellent (DWR) finish may diminish. You can restore it by cleaning the garment and then applying a suitable DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor clothing, following the product's instructions.
What is Warmloft padding?
Warmloft is Regatta's synthetic insulation that mimics the properties of natural down. It is designed to be soft, lightweight, and effectively trap body heat to provide warmth, even when damp.
What material is the bodywarmer made from?
The Regatta Rurietta Longer Length Bodywarmer is made from 100% Polyester. This material is known for its durability, quick-drying properties, and resistance to wrinkles.
Troubleshooting
Bodywarmer doesn't seem warm enough.
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. This bodywarmer provides lightweight warmth, but in very cold conditions, additional base layers or a warmer mid-layer are recommended. The Warmloft insulation works by trapping air, so avoid over-compressing it.
Water-repellent finish seems to be less effective.
The water-repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time and with washing. Wash the bodywarmer as per care instructions, then apply a DWR restoration spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor gear. Ensure the garment is clean before re-application for best results.
Zippers are sticking or difficult to move.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush. If still stiff, apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth, then work the zipper up and down several times.

Cons

Care Instructions
Proper care helps maintain the performance and longevity of your bodywarmer.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage the insulation and water-repellent finish. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. You can restore it using a fabric-safe water-repellent spray, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing for extended periods to maintain the loft of the Warmloft padding.
