Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Bodywarmer is a versatile, lightweight layering piece designed for women who need core warmth without sacrificing mobility during outdoor pursuits. It is an ideal choice for hikers, travelers, and anyone needing an extra thermal layer for everyday activity; however, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it does not provide coverage for the arms, necessitating additional layers in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Bodywarmer waterproof?
No, this garment is made of polyester fleece designed for warmth, not as a waterproof outer shell.
Can I wear this over a thick winter jacket?
It is designed as a mid-layer to be worn over shirts or under a waterproof shell for the best fit.
How should I wash this bodywarmer?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high-heat tumble drying.
What material is it made from?
The Frankie is made from high-quality, durable polyester fleece.
Is it suitable for high-intensity exercise?
Yes, its sleeveless design provides excellent ventilation and freedom of movement for active use.
Does it have pockets?
The design focuses on lightweight layering and essential warmth.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels less warm than when new
Wash the garment to remove oils and dirt that can flatten the fleece pile, then shake it out to restore loft.
Visible pilling on the fabric surface
Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to gently remove surface pilling; this is normal wear for polyester fleece.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent for core temperature regulation without overheating
- Allows for full range of motion in the arms
- Compact and lightweight for easy packing
- High-quality polyester construction for durability
Cons
- Sleeveless design offers no protection for the arms
- Limited to use as a layering piece rather than a primary jacket in harsh weather
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your garment in top condition, refer to the interior care label for specific temperature settings, though most Regatta fleece items are machine washable on a gentle cycle. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard size, as the Frankie is designed to be worn over shirts and thin fleeces. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners to maintain the insulating properties of the synthetic fibers. When storing, ensure the garment is clean and completely dry to prevent moisture buildup.
