Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer is designed for adult males seeking versatile, mid-layer warmth without restricting arm movement, ideal for outdoor activities in transitional weather. Its key benefit is the synthetic down filling and water-repellent finish, offering protection against light rain and cold. A potential caveat is its sleeveless design, which may not provide sufficient warmth in extreme cold without additional layers. This body warmer features a durable water-repellent finish, a grown-on hood with adjuster, multiple zip pockets for secure storage, and is constructed from recycled materials, combining functionality with sustainability.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the synthetic down filling?
The synthetic down filling provides excellent insulation to keep you warm, similar to natural down, but it retains its thermal properties better when wet and is easier to care for.
How does the DWR finish help?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps water bead off the surface of the fabric, providing protection against light rain and showers and keeping you drier.
Is this body warmer suitable for very cold winter weather?
While it provides good warmth, the sleeveless design means it is best suited as a mid-layer in very cold conditions. For extreme cold, additional layers on the arms and core would be necessary.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the provided size guide. For example, size L typically corresponds to a chest measurement of 42 inches. It is recommended to measure your chest and compare it with the guide.
Can I put this body warmer in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach and fabric softener.
How should I dry the body warmer?
It is best to tumble dry the body warmer on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the DWR finish and re-fluff the synthetic insulation.
What does 'grown-on hood' mean?
A 'grown-on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the neckline of the garment, rather than being a separate piece that zips or buttons on.
Does this product come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listing or sibling products for alternative options.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) or graphite from a pencil to the teeth of the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The DWR finish may need refreshing. Wash the garment according to care instructions (without fabric softener), and then tumble dry on a low heat setting, which can reactivate the DWR treatment. For significant loss of repellency, consider applying a wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatment suitable for synthetic materials.
Filling appears lumpy after washing.
Tumble dry the garment on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps and redistribute the synthetic down filling, restoring its loft and evenness.
