Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Frankie Borg Bodywarmer is an ideal choice for men seeking reliable core insulation without the restricted movement of a full-sleeved jacket. Crafted from soft, tactile borg fleece, this vest provides excellent warmth for outdoor errands or mid-layering, though its lack of sleeves means it is best suited for layering under a waterproof shell during wet conditions.

FAQs

Is the Frankie Borg Bodywarmer windproof?

No, it is made of fleece and is not designed to be windproof, though it does offer some resistance to light breezes.

Can I wear this over a thick hoodie?

Yes, its versatile cut is designed for layering, though you may prefer a larger size if you plan to wear it over very bulky garments.

Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?

Yes, the zipped lower pockets are sized to accommodate most standard-sized modern smartphones.

Does the fleece lose its softness after washing?

To preserve softness, avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and make them feel stiff over time.

Is this vest suitable for high-intensity exercise?

While it offers great mobility, borg fleece is quite warm and may cause overheating during high-intensity aerobic activities.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Ensure the fabric surrounding the zipper is clear of lint or loose threads and rub a small amount of candle wax on the teeth to lubricate.

Fleece appearance becomes matted

After washing and air drying, use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently fluff the fleece pile back to its original state.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-bulk ratio
  • High level of freedom of movement for the arms
  • Multiple secure zippered pockets
  • Comfortable fit provided by stretch cuffs and hem

Cons

  • No arm coverage leaves limbs exposed to cold winds
  • Not waterproof or water-resistant
  • Borg fleece may attract lint or debris

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This bodywarmer is designed for simple, immediate use. To maintain the quality of the borg fleece, follow these care steps:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the soft texture of the fleece; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage synthetic fibers.
  3. Compatibility: It fits true to size for an adult male. It is most compatible with flannel shirts, base layers, or worn beneath a technical waterproof jacket when extra insulation is required.
