FAQs
What age is the Regatta Orla Kiely Changing Robe suitable for?
This specific robe is designed for kids, fitting children aged 5-6 years old (UK sizing).
Is the robe truly waterproof, or just water-resistant?
Yes, it is truly waterproof. It features Hydrafort 100% polyester fabric with taped seams and a durable water-repellent finish, ensuring complete waterproof protection.
Can this robe be used for activities other than changing?
Absolutely! While perfect for discreet changing, its waterproof and warm properties make it ideal for staying cosy after swimming, during outdoor adventures, or as a general protective layer in cold or wet weather.
What is 'borg fleece'?
Borg fleece is a soft, deep-pile synthetic fabric designed to mimic the look and feel of sheepskin or shearling. It's known for its excellent insulation properties, providing significant warmth and comfort.
How should I clean my Orla Kiely Changing Robe?
Always check the care label inside the robe for specific washing instructions. Generally, wash with similar colours using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Air dry whenever possible to preserve the waterproof finish and fleece lining.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, the robe is equipped with two lower pockets for convenient storage of small items or to keep hands warm.
Troubleshooting
Robe appears to be losing its waterproof effectiveness.
This can happen over time as the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish wears off. Try washing the robe according to care instructions to clean any dirt that might be affecting the DWR. If the issue persists, consider re-applying a suitable DWR treatment spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof garments.
Inner fleece lining feels less soft or matted.
Ensure you are washing the robe according to the care label, avoiding harsh detergents and fabric softeners. Fabric softener can sometimes clump fibres. After washing, gently brush the fleece (once dry) with a soft brush to restore loft, if safe for the material.
Robe takes a very long time to dry.
Due to its waterproof outer and thick fleece lining, this robe will naturally take longer to dry than a standard towel. Ensure it's hung in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors on a dry day, or indoors away from direct heat sources that could damage the fabric. Avoid piling it up when wet.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your changing robe, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: The robe is made from 100% Polyester. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific washing instructions. Generally, wash with similar colours.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating and fleece lining.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high heat from tumble dryers as it can degrade the DWR finish and fabric integrity. If tumble drying is necessary, use a low heat setting.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. To maintain optimal waterproof performance, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment designed for waterproof outdoor gear. Info needed: Specific product recommendations for DWR re-application.
- Storage: Store the robe in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use.
