Osprey Adult Changing Robe, Waterproof Changing Robe, Swimming and Beach Robe, Unisex, Maroon

Product Information

I’ve owned both a DryRobe and a Moonwrap along with various poncho towels so I have plenty of hands on experience. Like the Vivida robe, Red have opted for a stretch fabric outer shell, which means the robe can be more fitted but is also super flexible to get changed in. The fabric is also breathable which helps with regulating your body temperature, and makes you feel less clammy if you ever decide to drive home in your robe. That being said, if the poncho towel is the prince of changing gear then, the changing robe is King!

Smoc Smoc’s are lined with bamboo, which is a natural highly-absorbent, insulating, hypo-allergenic fibre. Each robe comes in a bag which is made from off-cuts of fabric and can be used for standing on while you get dry.

You’ll also find comparisons with how these vary across the different changing robes mentioned in this article. Sleeve Length Robes make the transition from soaked to dry and cosy straightforward. They are great for people who find themselves often out in inclement weather for sport or entertainment (e.g., rugby, hiking, biking, surfing etc.), where staying warm or finding a private place to change might be a challenge. With a waterproof changing robe, your dignity is maintained, and the elements are kept at bay.

This can be one of the more important factors to consider, especially if you intend to be outdoors in colder weather. For anyone living in more temperate climates, this might not be as essential, but it is always good to keep in mind whether you want something that can function as an insulated, warm changing space.The dryrobe’s outer shell is totally waterproof. They do this through using one huge sheet of fabric, rather than multiple pieces which need to be sewn together, creating areas where water can get in. Red Paddle Co has some fashion-forward changing robes that work great for their intended purpose while leaving you looking stylish. They appear like an overlong, loose coat but with a classy design and colour scheme. This is a truly luxurious changing robe in material and appearance. The DryRobe brand is much loved but they are expensive and there are fantastic alternatives. Let’s find out! People use their robes in all sorts of ways, so all of them are best for something – style, economy, compactness, skin feel, size available or coming in the particular colour you want. Choosing the right size is important with any garment, but especially so with one that you intend to use to help you change into and out of awkward items of clothing such as a wetsuit. Thankfully, Dryrobe has an interactive size guide that will ask you to plug in your vital statistics before recommending a size.

Good basic option if you’re looking for something lightweight and that will take up as little space as possible in your luggage.
