Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Bodywarmer is a versatile, lightweight fleece vest designed for women who need core warmth without sacrificing mobility during outdoor activities. It is an excellent choice for hikers, travelers, and anyone looking for a reliable layering piece to wear over shirts or base-layer fleeces. While it provides excellent thermal insulation for your torso, users should note that the sleeveless design means it does not offer protection for your arms, making it best suited for mild to cool conditions or as part of a technical layering system.

FAQs
Is this bodywarmer waterproof?
No, the fleece material is designed for warmth and breathability, not waterproof protection. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell in rainy conditions.
Can I wear this while running?
Yes, its lightweight, sleeveless construction allows for good range of motion, though it is primarily designed for walking and hiking.
How should I wash the Frankie bodywarmer?
Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Do not bleach or iron, and avoid tumble drying on high heat.
Is the material windproof?
The fleece provides some protection against light breezes, but it is not windproof.
Does it have pockets?
The Frankie bodywarmer features a design focused on lightweight comfort; check your specific garment for integrated hand-warmer pockets.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels matted or less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners and use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent; air drying helps maintain texture.
Garment feels too tight when layered
Ensure you are wearing a thin base layer; if the issue persists, ensure you are wearing the correct UK size for your layering needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a garment, 'setup' involves choosing the right fit to accommodate layers underneath. For the best performance, wear the bodywarmer over a long-sleeved base layer or a thermal shirt. To maintain the fleece, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using high heat in the dryer, as this can degrade the insulating properties of the fleece material; air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's loft and texture.
