Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Body Warmer is designed for active women seeking a versatile layering piece that balances insulation with mobility. Crafted from a soft, brushed fleece pile with lightweight Warmloft filling, it provides essential core warmth during transitional weather or outdoor excursions. While it offers excellent thermal efficiency, the sleeveless design means it is best utilized as part of a layering system rather than a standalone outer garment in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this vest waterproof?
No, the Regatta Frankie is designed for insulation and warmth, not water resistance. It should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Can I tumble dry this product?
It is generally recommended to air dry this product. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the synthetic fibers and the borg fleece texture.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is Regatta's proprietary synthetic filling that mimics the insulation properties of down but remains effective even when damp and is much easier to maintain.
How do I choose the right size?
This model follows standard UK dress sizing. Since it is designed as a layering piece, we recommend checking the size guide to ensure there is enough room to fit a sweater underneath.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle, but avoid high temperatures to preserve the material's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Borg fleece looks matted after washing
Once dry, gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristle garment brush to lift the pile back to its original fluffy state.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip track. You can run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and packable for travel
- Soft, comfortable borg fabric
- Excellent for layering in transitional weather
- Flattering curved hem styling
- Durable construction with flatlock stitching
Cons
- Sleeveless design provides no coverage for arms
- Polyester material requires careful heat management during washing

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your garment in top condition, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, you should machine wash the vest on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the insulation properties of the polyester fibers.
Care Tips:
- Air dry the garment whenever possible to prevent the borg pile from matting.
- Do not iron the fleece material.
- Ensure the zip is fastened before placing it in the washing machine to prevent snagging.
- Compatibility: Best paired with long-sleeve base layers, thermal shirts, or lightweight sweaters.
