DryrobeAdvance Waterproof Changing Robe - LONG SLEEVE Oversized Change Robe Coat with Fleece Lining - Hooded Jacket for Beach, Wild Swimming, Surfing

The Dryrobe Advance Waterproof Changing Robe has been an absolute favorite for my wife—she loves it so much she wears it everywhere! She has the black one with the pink lining, and not only does it look great, but it’s also incredibly warm, comfortable, and practical.The waterproof outer shell keeps her dry no matter the weather, and the super-soft fleece lining makes it feel like she’s wrapped in a cozy blanket. It’s perfect for staying warm after swimming, outdoor activities, or even just walking the dog on chilly days. The oversized fit makes changing underneath easy, but it’s also just great to throw on for comfort.She’s barely taken it off since getting it, which says everything. Whether it’s for sports, outdoor adventures, or just braving miserable weather, this robe is a fantastic investment. It's always cold and miserable in England, so this Dryrobe gets a lot of use! Highly recommended!

Bought as a birthday present for my partner who is into the whole wild swimming thing for a few years now, she was over the moon :) I also got her the official Dryrobe changing mat and compression bag. From experience the mat is not so important to have, but still sort of useful. The compression bag is a must have otherwise would be unwieldy to carry about and store.She's used it in the sea in Scotland during March and April - she has said it makes so much difference. Once she gets out of the water and puts this on she is warm. I think it gives her more confidence to just go out and swim more, no matter the weather - she knows she will be warm once she gets out the water.She is around average height for a lady, I got her the large size which is super big on her but still wearable and walkable. She can pull her arms in and get out of her wet swimsuit while wearing this. Very practical - no need to mess around hiding behind a towel etc you have a mobile changing room with you. Before she would go to beach or whatever and drive back home in wet swimsuit. Now she can get into dry underwear and clothes.Fair enough, it is rather expensive, but it is very well made and I think will last for many years. Apparently once waterproofing wears out you can spray with NikWax.It will really make the difference in your wild swimming experience. For me, I think if there are at least a couple more times that she will go for a dip each month then it's worth it.

We wild swim lots. Great purchase. Worth the extra cost. Warm and excellent quality

We are sea swimmers all year round so need a robe that is warm and easy to change in. I have had several different make swim robes but this is by far the best quality and is the warmest. I would highly recommend and we have bought two now.

Wife loves it. We do cold water swimming.😄

Haven't used in field conditions yet. - about to start training for cycling events after series of injuries so maybe no events where I'll use it before next year however I gave it a dry run indoors. I'm near upper end of sizes for Large but thought Exta Large might be too baggy. Large was a decent fit as a coat and I was able to change inside the coat - moved arms inside and back into armholes again afterwards with no drama, so should do the job (getting out of cold wet or just sweaty cycling kit, and into dry casual gear m, without scaring anyone's kids or generally giving offence. And staying war in the process if cold/windy. I considered a quick pop-up toilet tent, which would have been cheaper but this is simpler and more flexible. Looks smart, seems robust. Zipped phone/items pocket seems a little small and vertical zip seems like an invitation to drop things - may be OK in practice with reasonable care. I'd like a bit more space to take, phone, keys, wallet or, even better, 2 slightly larger pockets to keep phone separate. Could, though, put wallet and keys in external handwarmer pockets. I'd prefer diagonal or horizontal zips on inside phone picket. A4 patch pocket seems practical but it might be handy to have another on the opposite side to maybe put plastic bag in to hold discarded wet gear or just to hold the clothes being changed into - when I use it in practice maybe I'll find it's not needed - I guess Dryrobe did plenty of research.. Could just put discarded gear on floor or into bag on floor. Could also hang a musette style bag round neck for additional storage though it might get in the way a bit when changing. Time will tell but loads of satisfied customers so I'm probably worrying too much.

I would just like to say I bought this coat for walking my dog in the miserable UK weather.This coat does not disappoint.Overall once I found the size that fits the robe is great, nice and warm and really good at keeping you dry when the rain is coming at you from all directions. After a couple hours in heavy rain I expect a small amount of water bleeding through from by the zips. I was surprised to find out that I was completely dry.The only thing that is annoying the warm fluffy material comes right to the edge of the waterproof material, this means that in the rain the fluff may get a little wet around the edges.This dryrobe is well worth the price.

Brilliant garment for a rainy day, beach trip and any other occasion!!
