FAQs
Is the Regatta Nehiala waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light showers, but it is not seam-sealed or waterproof for heavy, sustained rain.
What is the insulation weight?
The bodywarmer uses 200 gsm WARMLOFT insulation, which is rated for significant warmth.
Can this be worn as a mid-layer?
Yes, its streamlined design makes it an excellent mid-layer to wear under a larger, uninsulated waterproof shell.
How do I determine my size?
The sizes follow standard UK women's dress sizing. If you intend to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer to size up.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, it features two lower welt pockets for warming your hands or storing small essentials.
Is the hood adjustable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' (fixed) style without adjustment toggles.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the jacket
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore water resistance.
The insulation feels slightly flat after storage
Give the bodywarmer a good shake and hang it in a well-ventilated area for a few hours to allow the synthetic fibers to regain their loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Layering: Designed to fit over standard knitwear or light fleece sweaters; order your usual size for a standard fit.
Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners which can strip the water-repellent finish.
Drying: Air dry naturally on a hanger. Avoid tumble drying on high heat as this may degrade the synthetic insulation loft.
Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the outer shell if you notice rain no longer beads off the fabric surface.
