Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Bodywarmer is designed for active women seeking lightweight core warmth during outdoor activities like walking, travel, or everyday errands. This versatile layering piece features high-quality insulating polyester fleece that keeps your torso warm while leaving your arms free for maximum mobility; however, because it is a sleeveless design, it is best utilized as part of a layered system during cooler weather rather than as a standalone outer garment for extreme temperatures.

FAQs
Is the Frankie Bodywarmer waterproof?
No, it is made from polyester fleece which is designed for insulation, not water resistance.
Can I wear this under a larger jacket?
Yes, its low-profile design makes it an excellent mid-layer for wearing under heavier shells or waterproof coats.
How do I choose the right size?
The Frankie bodywarmer is true to size based on standard UK sizing; refer to a size chart if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, it features two external lower zipped pockets and one external chest pocket.
Is the white material easy to clean?
Polyester is generally easy to clean, but as the garment is white, you may need a stain-removing treatment for mud or dirt spots gathered during outdoor use.
Are the armholes tight?
The armholes are finished with stretch bindings, designed to provide a secure fit without digging into the skin.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after several washes
Avoid fabric softeners, as they leave a residue that clogs the fibers and reduces loft.
Stretch trim looks wavy
This is often caused by high heat in the dryer; always tumble dry on low or hang dry to maintain elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your bodywarmer stays in top condition, follow standard care guidelines for polyester fleece. Always check the garment's internal care label before washing. Generally, it is best to machine wash on a cool setting with a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can break down the fibers that provide the insulating performance. Air dry whenever possible to prevent the stretch bindings from losing their elasticity over time. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting to prevent the fleece from matting or melting.
