FAQs
Is this bodywarmer waterproof?
No, it features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will protect you from light showers and dampness but is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy rain.
What is Warmloft padding?
Warmloft is Regatta's synthetic insulation that mimics the warmth and soft feel of natural down, providing excellent lightweight warmth without animal products.
Can I wear this in winter?
Yes, it can be worn in winter as a layering piece over thicker clothing for added core warmth, but it may not be sufficient as a standalone outer layer in very cold conditions.
How do I achieve a flattering fit?
The bodywarmer has an adjustable shockcord waist. You can pull the cords to cinch the waist, creating a more defined and flattering silhouette.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, it features zipped lower pockets which are practical for securely storing small essential items.
What material is it made from?
The bodywarmer is made from Polyester, which is durable and helps support its water-repellent properties and insulation.
How should I clean my bodywarmer?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors and a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
The gilet feels too bulky or doesn't offer a flattering fit.
Utilize the adjustable shockcord waist to cinch the gilet for a more tailored and flattering silhouette. Experiment with different tensions to find your preferred fit.
The water-repellent finish seems less effective than before.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment can wear off over time with washing and use. Re-apply a specialist DWR spray-on or wash-in treatment, following the product manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the gilet is clean before application.
Zippers feel stiff or snag.
Regularly clean any debris or lint from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (such as graphite or a silicone-based spray) to the teeth and gently work the slider back and forth.
