Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Microfleece Bodywarmer is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight layering piece for mild weather or as an extra layer of warmth under a jacket. Its primary benefit is providing core insulation without bulk, featuring two zipped pockets for convenience. A potential consideration is that it's a gilet, offering no sleeve coverage, so it's best suited as a mid-layer rather than a primary outerwear in very cold conditions. Key features include 210 series microfleece fabric, two zipped lower pockets, and a comfortable fit designed for layering.

FAQs

What is 'Layer Lite fabric technology'?

Layer Lite fabric technology refers to the use of lightweight materials, such as the 210 series microfleece in this bodywarmer, designed to provide warmth and comfort without adding significant bulk, making it ideal for layering.

How should I determine the correct size?

Refer to the provided chest measurements for guidance. For size S, the chest should fit 37/38 inches. It's recommended to measure your chest and compare it with the chart. The gilet is designed for layering, so consider if you plan to wear thicker items underneath.

Is this bodywarmer waterproof?

No, this bodywarmer is made of microfleece and is not waterproof. It is designed primarily for warmth and as a layering piece, not for protection against rain or significant moisture.

Can this be worn as a standalone jacket?

It can be worn as a standalone piece in mild, dry conditions. However, due to its sleeveless design and lack of wind/water resistance, it is most effective when used as a mid-layer under a jacket or coat in colder or wetter weather.

How do I care for the microfleece material?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Tumble dry on a low heat. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Following these instructions will help maintain the fabric's softness and durability.

What is the difference between a bodywarmer and a gilet?

Bodywarmer and gilet are often used interchangeably to describe a sleeveless jacket or vest. Both refer to garments that provide torso warmth without covering the arms.

Troubleshooting

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat and not caught. A small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the zipper teeth can help lubricate it. Avoid excessive force.

Fleece feels less soft after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions, especially regarding tumble drying on a low heat. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade fleece fibers over time. Air drying might preserve softness longer.

Garment seems to be pilling.

Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid abrasion with rough materials. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove pills.
