Product Information

Full details

The Bleubird Nordic Waterproof Changing Robe is an essential piece of gear for cold-water swimmers, surfers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection from the elements. Designed to keep you warm and dry, the robe features a durable recycled ripstop shell and a cozy sherpa lining, allowing for comfortable outdoor changing; however, due to its heavy-duty construction and thermal insulation, it is bulkier than a standard towel or lightweight cover-up.

FAQs

Can I drive in my Bleubird robe?

Yes, the robe is designed to be worn over wet gear, making it ideal for the drive home after a swim. However, ensure the robe is clean to protect your vehicle upholstery.

Is the robe truly waterproof?

Yes, it features a 100% waterproof membrane designed to keep the wind and rain out, even in severe conditions.

What is the best way to dry the robe?

Hang it up in a well-ventilated space. Avoid using tumble dryers or placing it directly onto hot radiators.

Is the robe unisex?

Yes, the fit is designed to be oversized and generous, making it suitable for all genders.

How do I choose the right size?

The robes are designed with an intentionally roomy, oversized fit to allow for easy changing underneath. Consult the size guide to match your height for optimal coverage.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the outside of the robe

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Use a technical DWR re-proofer spray designed for waterproof garments.

The main zip feels stuck or stiff

Ensure no fabric or loose threads are caught in the track. If it remains stiff, apply a light coat of zipper lubricant or a candle wax stick to the teeth.

Persistent odor after frequent use

Turn the robe inside out and wash on a gentle cycle. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew growth in the sherpa lining.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation for cold weather use
  • Made from sustainable recycled materials
  • Effective waterproofing allows for changing in heavy rain
  • Roomy fit designed for effortless garment removal underneath
  • Durable construction capable of withstanding rough outdoor environments

Cons

  • Substantial bulk makes it difficult to pack for ultralight travel
  • Longer drying time for the thick sherpa lining compared to microfiber towels
  • Heavier weight than basic ponchos

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Bleubird robe, always shake off excess sand and debris before folding it. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating will eventually require refreshing if water stops beading on the surface. When cleaning, use a cool, gentle cycle with non-biological detergent, avoiding fabric softeners which can clog the waterproof membrane and strip the water-resistant coating. Always air dry the robe in a well-ventilated area away from direct radiators or high heat sources, which could damage the recycled ripstop fibers or melt the sherpa lining.
