Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Lofthouse Bodywarmer is an ideal layering garment for active children who need core warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. Designed for everyday outdoor play and school commutes, this gilet features sustainable synthetic insulation and a water-repellent finish, though it is intended for layering rather than standalone protection during heavy rainfall.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Lofthouse Bodywarmer machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh detergents or softeners.
Can this be worn in heavy rain?
It features a water-repellent finish suitable for light rain or showers, but it is not a fully waterproof garment for heavy downpours.
What age group is this specific item for?
This specific variant is sized for children aged 7-8 years old.
Is the insulation made from real down?
No, the Lofthouse uses synthetic WARMLOFT insulation made from 100% recycled materials, which is easier to care for and retains warmth when damp.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are sized for children's hands and small items like tissues or gloves; they may not be suitable for larger mobile devices.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is a fixed, elasticated design to ensure it stays in place and provides maximum coverage.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and ensure the zipper path is clear of lint. Rubbing a graphite pencil along the teeth can often lubricate a stubborn zip.
Water is soaking into the fabric
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a fabric-safe DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore the water-shedding properties.

- Fixed hood cannot be removed for different styling needs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Lofthouse Bodywarmer, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear it over a thermal base layer or a fleece for maximum warmth. It is slim enough to fit under a larger waterproof shell if extra protection is needed.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as these can strip the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the insulation loft and the water-repellent coating.
- Maintenance: Periodically check for debris in the zip mechanism. If the water-repellent performance fades over time, you can refresh it using a standard wash-in waterproofing treatment.
