FAQs
Is this bodywarmer suitable for heavy rain?
The bodywarmer has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rainfall or drizzle. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What type of insulation is used?
It is insulated with lightweight, feather-free down made from recycled materials, providing warmth without animal products.
How do I pack the bodywarmer?
The bodywarmer is designed to pack away into its own integrated stuff sack. Simply stuff the garment into the designated pocket until it forms a compact bundle.
Can I wash and dry the bodywarmer in a machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it cold (30°C) with similar colors and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid using fabric softeners.
What sizes are available?
This model is available in various UK women's dress sizes. Please check the product listing for specific size availability.
Is this product suitable for extreme cold?
While it provides good warmth for its weight, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, additional layers or a heavier jacket may be necessary.
What does 'bulk-free' mean in the description?
'Bulk-free' refers to the slim profile of the insulation, which allows for excellent freedom of movement and prevents the garment from feeling cumbersome during active use.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems to be less effective.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting for 20 minutes. If this does not help, consider using a specific DWR re-proofing spray or wash according to the product's instructions.
Bodywarmer feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the insulation is not compressed. Check that no other layers worn underneath are too bulky, which could restrict the insulation's ability to loft. For colder conditions, consider layering with a fleece or thermal top.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper area with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
