Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Mens Aldthorn Body Warmer in Green (Size M) is designed for adult males seeking an adaptable layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing core warmth without restricting arm movement, making it ideal for transitional weather. A potential caveat is that as a sleeveless garment, it may not offer sufficient insulation in very cold conditions on its own. This body warmer features a durable water-repellent finish, synthetic down filling for insulation, and a grown-on hood for added protection, all constructed from recycled polyester.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of a body warmer?
A body warmer provides core insulation while allowing complete freedom of movement for the arms, making it ideal for activities where arm mobility is important or for milder weather conditions.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the size guide provided: M corresponds to a 40-inch chest measurement. It's recommended to measure your chest and compare it to the guide for the best fit.
Is this suitable for heavy rain?
The garment features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it's recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer over it.
Can this body warmer be worn in very cold weather?
While the synthetic down filling provides good insulation, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For very cold weather, you would likely need to wear warmer layers underneath or a more substantial jacket.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
The DWR finish can be maintained by following the washing instructions and reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, especially after significant wear or washing.
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 detachable or a separate piece.
Are the recycled materials used in this jacket environmentally friendly?
Yes, using recycled polyester reduces the reliance on virgin materials, conserves energy, and helps to divert plastic waste from landfills and oceans.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is flat. If still stiff, try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Reduced water repellency after several washes.
Reapply a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment to the garment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before application.
Filling appears lumpy after washing.
After washing, place the garment in the tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute and fluff up the synthetic filling.
