FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this body warmer?
The Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer is designed to provide core body warmth while allowing for unrestricted arm movement. It is ideal for layering in cool weather.
Is this body warmer waterproof?
No, it is not fully waterproof. It features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish which helps to shed light rain and moisture, but it is not designed for heavy or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How should I determine my size?
Please refer to the size guide provided in the product details. It lists chest measurements for each size (e.g., XXL: 48 inches) to help you find the best fit.
Can this be worn in very cold weather?
While it provides good insulation, it is best suited for cool to mild weather or as a layering piece. For very cold conditions, it should be worn under a heavier, insulated jacket.
What is the filling made of?
The filling is synthetic down, specifically 300gsm, designed to offer warmth and loft comparable to natural down but with better performance when damp.
How do I wash and care for the body warmer?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat, ideally with tennis balls. Do not bleach or iron.
Does this body warmer contain recycled materials?
Yes, the Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer is made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper up and down, checking for any fabric caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite (e.g., from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth.
Filling appears clumpy after washing
Ensure the garment is completely dry. Tumble dry on a low heat with clean tennis balls to help redistribute and re-fluff the synthetic down filling.
Water repellency has decreased
Clean the garment according to care instructions. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish following the product manufacturer's guidelines.
Hood is not fitting securely
Adjust the toggle adjuster on the hood to achieve a tighter, more secure fit around the head and neck.
