Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Body Warmer is an ideal choice for adults seeking lightweight core warmth during transitional weather. This sleeveless garment utilizes a soft, brushed fleece pile construction and Warmloft insulation to provide reliable comfort without the bulk of a full jacket. While it offers excellent versatility for layering, it is designed specifically for mild to moderate temperatures and lacks waterproof properties, meaning it should be worn under a shell in heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this garment waterproof?
No, the Regatta Frankie is made of polyester fleece and is not waterproof. It is best used for insulation in dry conditions.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, its slim, sleeveless profile makes it an excellent mid-layer to be worn underneath a dedicated rain shell.
How should I store the body warmer?
Store it on a hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent compression of the insulation.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a cool, delicate setting. Avoid high heat to protect the fleece fibers.
Does it have a lining?
The body warmer features Warmloft insulation to ensure core heat retention while keeping the overall weight low.
Troubleshooting
Fleece pile appears matted or flat
Gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled garment brush after washing and drying to restore the original fluffiness.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth; you can apply a tiny amount of candle wax or a graphite pencil tip to the zipper track to lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This body warmer is a versatile layering piece compatible with most casual wardrobes, including long-sleeve tees, knit sweaters, and hoodies. Because it lacks bulk, it easily tucks under rain shells. To maintain the integrity of the borg fleece, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic Warmloft insulation and the polyester pile; air drying is recommended to keep the fabric soft. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature limits and bleaching warnings.
