Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer is designed for adults seeking versatile warmth and protection for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing core insulation without restricting arm movement, ideal for layering. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may affect performance. This body warmer features a durable water-repellent finish, synthetic down filling for warmth, and a grown-on hood with a toggle adjuster for added protection.

FAQs

Is this body warmer suitable for very cold weather?

While the synthetic down filling provides good insulation, the sleeveless design means it is best suited as a mid-layer or for milder conditions. For extreme cold, consider wearing additional insulating layers underneath or opting for a full jacket.

How effective is the water-repellent finish?

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish will repel light rain and showers, causing water to bead up and roll off. It is not a substitute for a waterproof jacket and will not withstand prolonged heavy rain.

Can I machine wash this body warmer?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Remember to close all zippers and use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

How do I restore the loft of the synthetic filling?

After washing, tumble dry the body warmer on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls. The action of the balls helps to break up clumps and restore the fluffy nature of the synthetic down.

What does 'grown-on hood' mean?

A 'grown-on hood' is a hood that is permanently attached to the main body of the garment during manufacturing, rather than being detachable or added as a separate piece.

What materials are used in this body warmer?

The body warmer is made from 100% Polyester for the outer fabric, with a Polyamide lining and Synthetic Down filling. It is also constructed using recycled materials.

How many pockets does it have?

It features two zipped side pockets for secure storage and one internal pocket, offering ample space for your essentials.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant along the zipper teeth.

Water repellency seems reduced.

Clean the garment according to care instructions. Consider using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor clothing.

Filling appears uneven or lumpy after washing.

Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls. This helps to break up any clumps and redistribute the synthetic filling evenly.

Seams feel weak or loose.

Inspect seams for damage. If minor, a skilled tailor might be able to reinforce them. Avoid pulling forcefully on seams.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent core warmth without restricting arm movement.
  • Durable water-repellent finish offers protection against light precipitation.
  • Lightweight yet warm thanks to synthetic down filling.
  • Sustainable construction using recycled materials.
  • Adjustable hood and hem for a customized, draft-free fit.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof; may not be suitable for heavy or prolonged rain.
  • Sleeveless design may not be sufficient for very cold conditions without additional layers.
  • Relies on synthetic fill, which may not offer the same compressibility as natural down.
  • Care instructions require specific washing methods to maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Regatta Aldthorn Body Warmer requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear. Ensure the full zip is fastened and adjust the hood toggle and hem shockcord for a comfortable, secure fit.

Compatibility:

This body warmer is designed as an outerwear piece or a mid-layer for adults. It is compatible with a wide range of clothing, including base layers, fleeces, and waterproof jackets. Its unisex design makes it suitable for most individuals.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Close all zippers before washing. Wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls to help restore the loft of the synthetic filling. Remove promptly once dry.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. Avoid using fabric softeners or conditioners, as they can affect the DWR treatment and fabric performance.
  • Durability: To maintain the durable water-repellent finish, re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment periodically, especially after several washes.
