Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer is a versatile, insulated sleeveless jacket designed for active men who need extra core warmth without sacrificing arm mobility. It is an ideal mid-layer for changeable outdoor conditions, featuring a durable water-repellent finish and sustainable recycled materials. While it provides excellent thermal protection for the torso, users should note that the arms remain exposed to the elements, making it best suited for layering under a shell or wearing on cool, dry days.

FAQs

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is 'grown-on,' meaning it is permanently attached to the collar.

Can this be worn under a heavy coat?

Yes, its sleeveless design makes it an excellent choice for layering underneath larger shell jackets for added warmth.

What is the weight of the filling?

The body warmer features a 300gsm synthetic down filling for high-loft insulation.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the two side zipped pockets are designed to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and keys.

Is the material waterproof?

The material is water-repellent, not waterproof. It is designed to handle light rain and moisture, but is not suitable for heavy, sustained downpours.

Troubleshooting

Outer fabric is absorbing water

The DWR finish may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-proofer to restore water repellency.

Zip is sticking

Ensure no fabric is caught in the tracks. If debris is present, clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and consider applying a dry lubricant.

Filling feels compressed after washing

Ensure you tumble dry the garment on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help re-distribute the synthetic insulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for core insulation
  • Provides maximum arm mobility for activities like hiking or gardening
  • Sustainable design using recycled materials
  • Effective water repellent coating
  • Secure storage with zippered pockets

Cons

  • Sleeveless design means exposed arms
  • Not intended for heavy, sustained downpours
  • Bulkier than lighter gilets due to high-loft insulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Aldthorn Body Warmer in peak condition, follow these care steps:

  • Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting, ideally with dryer balls to help fluff the synthetic down filling back to its original loft.
  • Storage: Hang the garment when not in use to maintain the shape of the hood and prevent compression of the insulation.
  • Layering: Ensure you have enough room underneath for your mid-layers; the Aldthorn is designed to be worn over standard-fit shirts or sweaters.
