FAQs
Is the Frankie Bodywarmer waterproof?
No, this garment is made of fleece and is not designed to be water or windproof. It is intended as an insulating layer.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, its slim, sleeveless profile makes it an excellent layering piece to wear underneath a waterproof shell.
How should I clean the fleece?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent and hang to air dry.
Is this garment suitable for intense hiking?
It is perfect for hiking as it provides core warmth without restricting your arm movement, though you should carry a rain shell in case of weather changes.
What sizes are available?

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after many washes
Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can coat the fibers and reduce insulating performance.
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller to gently remove pilling caused by regular friction during wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is ready to wear immediately. For best results in cold conditions, pair it with a windproof shell or a waterproof jacket to compensate for the fleece's open nature. To maintain the integrity of the fabric, machine wash on a cool setting with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the thermal properties of the fleece over time. Always air dry the bodywarmer away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from losing its shape or softness.
