Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Frankie Bodywarmer is designed for active women seeking lightweight core warmth during outdoor pursuits like walking and travel. This polyester fleece vest excels at providing insulation without restricting arm movement, making it a versatile layering piece; however, as it lacks a waterproof shell, it is best utilized as a mid-layer during light activity rather than a standalone outer garment in heavy precipitation.

FAQs

Is this bodywarmer waterproof?

No, the garment is made from polyester fleece, which provides warmth but is not designed to repel water.

Can I wear this while hiking?

Yes, it is specifically designed for outdoor activities like walking and hiking as it offers warmth without restricting arm movement.

How should I wash it?

Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang to dry for the best results.

Does it have internal pockets?

No, it features two external lower zipped pockets and one external chest pocket.

Is the material stretchy?

The garment includes stretch binding at the collar, armholes, front, and hem to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure no fabric is trapped in the teeth and gently clean the zipper track with a soft brush to remove debris.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz, which is common with fleece materials over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly packable for travel
  • Excellent core insulation without restricting arm mobility
  • Secure storage with three zippered pockets
  • Comfortable fit thanks to strategic stretch bindings

Cons

  • Polyester fleece is not windproof or waterproof
  • White color fabric may require frequent cleaning
  • Limited to core warmth; does not protect arms from cold

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for easy integration into an existing outdoor wardrobe. It is best layered under heavier coats or over light baselayers. To maintain the fleece's insulating properties and structural integrity, wash the bodywarmer in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or fabric softeners, as these can coat the polyester fibers and diminish breathability. Hang drying is recommended to prevent heat damage from tumble dryers and to preserve the elasticity of the stretch bindings at the hem and armholes.
