Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Bodywarmer is an ideal choice for adults looking to add a versatile layer of core warmth to their everyday outdoor or casual wardrobe. Crafted from soft, insulating polyester borg fleece, it provides excellent thermal protection while keeping the arms completely unrestricted for maximum mobility. While perfect for layering over knits or sweatshirts, please note that because it is a sleeveless garment, it does not provide wind or weather protection for your arms, making it best suited for mild days or as an insulating mid-layer.

FAQs
Is this bodywarmer windproof?
No, the Frankie Borg Bodywarmer is designed primarily for warmth and insulation, not as a technical wind-breaking shell.
Can I wear this over a heavy winter coat?
This garment is designed to be worn as a mid-layer under a coat or as an outer layer over lighter garments. Wearing it over a heavy coat may cause fit issues.
What material is it made from?
It is constructed from 100% polyester borg fleece.
How should I wash the fleece?
Wash in a cool machine cycle with similar colors and avoid fabric softeners to keep the fleece texture soft.
Does it have pockets?
The Frankie Borg design focuses on a streamlined silhouette for layering; please check your specific garment for interior or exterior pockets.
Is this suitable for high-intensity exercise?
While breathable, it is primarily designed for casual wear and light outdoor activity rather than intense physical exertion.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels matted or less fluffy after washing
Avoid fabric softeners and use a gentle cycle; air dry and brush the fleece lightly once dry to restore the loft.
Garment feels too tight when layered
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers; if the fit is consistently restrictive, you may need to size up to accommodate thicker knits underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup—it is a wearable item intended for immediate use. For optimal fit, verify the size against your base layers; since it is designed as an outer shell over sweaters or knits, it features a relaxed fit to accommodate layering. Regarding care, always refer to the garment's internal label. Generally, polyester fleece should be washed in a cool cycle with similar colors. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can flatten the 'borg' texture over time. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fibers and maintain the fleece's loft and warmth.
