Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the robe, or it feels less waterproof.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or re-applied. Wash the robe according to care instructions (without fabric softener), then consider using a specialist DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product.
The fleece lining feels matted or less warm.
Ensure you are washing the robe correctly, avoiding harsh detergents and fabric softeners. Air dry thoroughly. If persistent, a gentle brushing of the fleece (once completely dry) might help restore some loft.
The robe has an unpleasant odour despite being washed.
This can happen if the robe isn't dried thoroughly. Ensure it's completely air-dried inside and out after each use and wash. If the odour persists, try washing with a specialist outdoor clothing cleaner designed to eliminate odours from technical fabrics.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and longevity of your changing robe, especially its waterproof properties and fleece lining. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. General guidelines include:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30C) with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating and fleece.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and fleece fibres. Hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you can re-apply a DWR treatment designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the product instructions for the re-proofing agent.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated place when not in use.
