Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Borg Bodywarmer is an ideal layering piece for women seeking lightweight core warmth during transitional weather or cool indoor environments. Crafted from soft, high-quality borg fleece, this vest offers excellent insulation while maintaining freedom of movement through its sleeveless design. While it provides fantastic thermal comfort for casual daily wear, users should note that the fleece material is not waterproof and is best suited for dry, chilly conditions rather than heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this bodywarmer waterproof?
No, the Frankie Borg Bodywarmer is made of fleece and is not designed to be water-resistant. It is best worn in dry conditions.
Can I wear this under a coat?
Yes, its low-profile design makes it an excellent layering piece to wear under a larger waterproof jacket.
What is the best way to wash the borg material?
Machine wash on a cool, delicate setting. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry clean.
Does it have a zipper?
No, this specific model is designed as a pull-on style for easy layering.
Will this fit true to size?
Yes, it is designed to fit as a standard layer, though if you prefer a looser fit for thick sweaters underneath, you may want to size up.
Troubleshooting
Fleece becoming matted or losing softness
Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying; use a gentle brush specifically designed for fleece to revive the fibres.
Visible lint or debris on the fabric
Use a standard garment lint roller or a piece of adhesive tape to gently remove surface debris from the borg material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Regatta Frankie Borg Bodywarmer in top condition, adhere to standard fleece care practices:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can damage the loft of the fleece.
- Drying: Air dry the garment by hanging it or laying it flat. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can cause the synthetic fibres to mat or lose their shape.
- Storage: Fold the garment rather than hanging it for long periods to prevent the shoulders from stretching out.
- Compatibility: This bodywarmer is designed to fit over standard base layers and thin sweaters. If you plan to wear it under a jacket, choose a size that allows for comfortable layering without feeling too tight across the torso.
