Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Merida Bodywarmer is a versatile outerwear piece designed for adult women who need flexible core insulation during outdoor activities like walking, travel, or casual everyday wear. Featuring lightweight synthetic, feather-free insulation, it provides essential warmth without restricting movement, allowing for easy layering over sweaters or fleeces. While it includes a water-repellent finish for light weather protection, it is not a substitute for a heavy-duty waterproof rain jacket.

FAQs
Is the hood fully detachable?
Yes, the hood is adjustable and fully removable, allowing you to customize the look and function of the gilet.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The garment has a water-repellent finish, but it is not waterproof. It is best suited for light showers rather than heavy, sustained rain.
What is the insulation made of?
It uses high-quality synthetic, feather-free insulation that provides warmth while remaining lightweight.
How many pockets does it have?
The bodywarmer features two exterior zippered pockets and two internal security pockets.
Is the sizing accurate?
The Merida bodywarmer is designed with a standard fit; it is recommended to order your usual size, keeping in mind that it is meant to be worn over other clothing.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beading on the surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off; apply a garment-safe water-repellent re-proofing spray.
Zipper sticking or difficult to close
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean any debris from the zipper teeth with a soft brush.
Insulation feels compressed or lumpy after washing
Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help fluff the synthetic fibers back into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear over breathable base layers or lightweight fleeces for optimal moisture management.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent and ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
- Water Repellency Maintenance: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. Use a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore its performance after multiple washes.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in compressed spaces for long periods to maintain the loft of the synthetic insulation.
