Product Information
Full details
The Bench Leacy Waterproof Changing Robe is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and water sports participants who need a reliable way to stay warm and dry while changing on the go. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-performance waterproof outer shell paired with a soft, insulating fleece interior, allowing you to transition comfortably from water activities to dry land. One caveat is that the robe is designed for a loose fit to facilitate easy changing, which may feel voluminous if you are looking for a slim-fit garment for standard walking.

FAQs
Can I use this robe for swimming?
This robe is designed to be worn after you finish swimming to keep you warm and dry, not for use while actually inside the water.
Is the robe machine washable?
Yes, but it is recommended to use a delicate cycle and mild detergent to preserve the waterproof coating.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, the Bench Leacy range typically features an integrated hood to provide extra protection against rain and wind.
How do I choose the right size?
These robes are designed to be oversized. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to size down, though this will limit the space available for changing.
Is the material breathable?
While the shell is waterproof, it provides enough ventilation for standard activity; however, it is primarily designed for insulation and weather protection.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer shell
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off; consider using a technical fabric re-proofer spray compatible with polyester.
Fleece lining feels matted
Gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled garment brush after washing and drying to restore the loft of the fibers.
Zipper is sticking or stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a silicone-based zipper lubricant if the stiffness persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Bench Leacy Waterproof Changing Robe, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof treatment from the outer shell.
- Drying: Air dry only. Avoid tumble drying or using direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the fleece lining and the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Ensure the robe is completely dry before folding and storing it in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or mildew growth on the fleece.
- Compatibility: This robe is designed as an "over-layer." It is intended to be worn over standard swimwear or light base layers to allow for ample room while changing.
