Product Information
Full details
The Bleubird Nordic Waterproof Changing Robe is an essential piece of equipment for outdoor enthusiasts, swimmers, and surfers who need a reliable way to warm up and change in challenging weather conditions. It provides excellent thermal insulation and protection against the elements, though its robust, heavy-duty design makes it bulkier and heavier than a standard dry robe, which may impact portability for long-distance hikers.

FAQs
Can I machine wash the Bleubird Nordic Robe?
It is recommended to follow the care label instructions. Generally, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners that can block the waterproof membrane.
Is the robe suitable for all seasons?
While it is specifically optimized for cold, wet weather due to its sherpa lining, it is versatile enough for any outdoor activity where you need protection from wind and rain.
How do I choose the right size?
The robe is intentionally designed with an oversized fit to accommodate changing underneath. Choose your size based on your height and the level of roominess you prefer.
Is the exterior material breathable?
The shell is designed for maximum weather protection. While it is not fully breathable like a lightweight running jacket, the generous fit allows for sufficient airflow.
Can I wear this while swimming?
No, this robe is a garment for use before or after water activities. It is not designed to be worn while submerged in the water.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing appears less effective over time
The durable water-repellent (DWR) coating can wear off; consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray compatible with technical outerwear.
Zip is sticking or hard to move
Clear any sand or debris from the teeth of the zip and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
Interior lining stays damp after use
Turn the robe inside out and hang it in a well-ventilated area to ensure the sherpa lining dries completely, preventing odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your robe lasts, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. After exposure to saltwater or sand, rinse the exterior shell with fresh water and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could damage the waterproof membrane. The robe is designed for broad compatibility with various sizes, but ensure you select the appropriate length for your height to optimize the privacy features. When cleaning, avoid harsh detergents that may compromise the water-resistant finish of the PFC-free shell.
