FAQs
What does 'Hydrafort' mean?
Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary fabric technology that provides reliable waterproof and windproof protection. It's designed to keep you dry and comfortable in challenging outdoor conditions.
Is this robe suitable for both men and women?
While listed under 'Female' attributes, the Regatta Changing Robe features a versatile, loose fit designed for comfortable, private changing. It is generally suitable for anyone needing a functional changing robe.
Can I wear this robe directly after swimming without a towel?
Yes, the absorbent towelled lining is designed to wick away moisture and help dry you off, making it perfect for direct wear after water activities. However, for maximum efficiency, a quick towel-off before putting it on can enhance comfort.
How do I choose the right size?
The Regatta Changing Robe features a loose, oversized fit to allow for easy changing underneath. Refer to Regatta's size chart for general body measurements, but remember the robe is designed to be spacious rather than form-fitting.
Can I use this robe in very cold weather?
Yes, the combination of the windproof Hydrafort outer layer and the warm towelled lining provides excellent insulation and protection, making it very suitable for use in cold weather after water activities.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The exterior fabric of the robe is waterproof, but the pockets themselves are not fully sealed or waterproof. They are suitable for quick access to non-sensitive items like keys or a small, already-waterproofed phone.
Troubleshooting
Robe feels damp inside after light rain.
Ensure the full zip is completely closed when worn. Check the integrity of the zipper. If water still penetrates, the DWR coating may need re-application. Clean the outer fabric and apply a suitable DWR spray.
The towelled lining feels less absorbent or matted.
This often occurs from using fabric softeners or excessive detergent. Wash the robe again with a technical detergent or plain water, ensuring a thorough rinse cycle. Air dry. Avoid fabric softeners for future washes.
Robe is too bulky for my bag.
While designed for warmth and space, you can reduce bulk for transport by rolling it tightly from the hood down, or using a compression sack if you need to pack it into a smaller space.
Zipper is stiff or hard to pull.
Clean any dirt or sand from the zipper teeth using a small brush and warm water. Once dry, apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or wax sparingly along the teeth to restore smooth operation.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your changing robe. Always refer to the specific care label on your product for the most accurate instructions. General guidelines include:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof fabrics, or a mild non-bio liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents as they can leave residue.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry on high heat. Air dry by hanging in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight. If line drying outside, ensure it's fully dry before storing.
- Avoid: Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh stain removers, as these can damage the waterproof coating and reduce the absorbency of the towelled lining.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer fabric may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.
