Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Bodywarmer is designed for adult women who need a versatile, lightweight layering piece for outdoor activities like walking, hiking, or everyday travel. Crafted from insulating polyester fleece, it provides targeted core warmth while keeping your arms free for maximum mobility. While it is excellent for mild to cool conditions, it does not provide weatherproofing, so it is best used as a mid-layer under a shell or as an outer layer on dry days.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Bodywarmer waterproof?
No, this garment is made from polyester fleece, which is designed for warmth and breathability rather than water resistance.
Can I wear this over a thick jumper?
Yes, the cut is designed for versatile layering, though you may find a slightly tighter fit depending on the bulk of the garment underneath.
How should I clean this item?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not tumble dry or use bleach.
What size should I choose?
The Frankie Bodywarmer follows standard UK dress sizing. Choose your regular size for a fit designed to be layered.
Is this suitable for high-intensity sports?
While it allows for great mobility, it is primarily intended for walking, hiking, and casual wear. If you require moisture-wicking for high-intensity training, look for specialized technical base layers.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after several washes
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during the wash cycle, as this coats the fibers and reduces their ability to trap air.
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
This is normal for polyester fleece. Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to gently remove small fiber balls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The bodywarmer requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear immediately. It is highly compatible with other Regatta outdoor gear, particularly base layers and hardshell jackets. To maintain the integrity of the fleece, machine wash it in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the insulating performance of the polyester fibers. Always hang the garment to air dry rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric structure.
