FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Aquarobe Pro?
The Aquarobe Pro is designed to help you dry off quickly and stay warm after participating in water sports or cold-water activities like swimming or surfing. Its oversized fit also allows for easy changing in public places.
How do I wash my Aquarobe Pro?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Is the Aquarobe Pro truly waterproof?
The Aquarobe Pro features a two-layer waterproof fabric with a 5000mm rating and a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. This makes it highly resistant to water penetration in typical weather conditions but not suitable for prolonged immersion.
Can I wear the Aquarobe Pro as a regular jacket?
While it is warm and waterproof, its oversized fit and specific design are optimized for changing and post-activity comfort rather than as a fashion jacket for everyday wear.
What are the dimensions of the pockets?
Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but they are designed to hold essentials such as a phone, keys, or a small wallet.
What is the breathability rating?
The Aquarobe Pro has a breathability rating of 2000mm.
Who is this product for?
This product is designed for adults who engage in water-based activities such as swimming, surfing, kayaking, or any outdoor pursuits where changing and staying warm afterwards is important.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth. Move the zipper up and down gently several times.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the robe according to care instructions and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If ineffective, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Fleece lining feels matted or less soft.
Avoid using fabric softener during washing. Try washing again with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat, which can sometimes restore softness.
Pockets are not waterproof.
The pockets are designed to be water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Avoid submerging items in the pockets and ensure they are securely zipped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Aquarobe Pro, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof coating and clog the fabric's pores.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight. For best results and to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes after washing.
- Re-waterproofing: If the DWR finish appears to be failing (water no longer beads up), you can reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment, following the product's instructions. Always wash the garment before applying a new treatment.
