Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a versatile, mid-layer solution for transitional weather. Designed to provide core warmth without restricting arm mobility, it features a durable water-repellent finish and sustainable recycled synthetic insulation; however, it lacks full-sleeve coverage, making it unsuitable for extreme cold without a secondary outer shell.

FAQs

Is the Regatta Aldthorn suitable for heavy rain?

It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain or mist well, but it is not waterproof and will soak through in heavy downpours.

Can I machine wash this body warmer?

Yes, machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design, meaning it is permanently attached to the gilet.

Is the material made from real down?

No, the Aldthorn uses a 300gsm synthetic down filling made from recycled materials.

Does the hem allow for adjustment?

Yes, it features a shockcord adjustment system that allows you to tighten the bottom hem to trap heat.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off. Apply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray and tumble dry on low to reactivate the treatment.

Insulation feels flat after washing

Tumble dry on a low setting with clean tennis balls to help fluff and redistribute the synthetic down evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Water-repellent finish protects against light showers
  • Grown-on hood offers extra head protection
  • High-quality zippers ensure secure storage
  • Made with sustainable recycled materials

Cons

  • Sleeveless design provides no arm warmth
  • Not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall
  • Requires layering for sub-zero temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a pull-on garment, no complex setup is required. For optimal performance, ensure the front zip is fully closed when outdoors to maximize heat retention. Compatibility-wise, the XL sizing fits well over base layers or thin fleece sweaters; if layering over a heavy coat, consider adjusting your fit expectations. To maintain the integrity of the synthetic insulation and DWR coating, machine wash the garment on a cool cycle, use mild detergents, and avoid fabric softeners. Air drying is highly recommended to prevent the synthetic fibers from clumping, though a low-heat tumble dry may be used if the care label permits.
