FAQs
Is the Regatta Changing Robe truly waterproof?
Yes, it features Regatta's Hydrafort 5000 fabric with taped seams and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, providing complete waterproof protection against rain and wind.
How do I choose the right size for this changing robe?
The robe is designed with an oversized fit to allow for easy changing underneath. Refer to Regatta's size guide for general sizing, but note that it's intentionally loose for its primary function rather than a snug fit.
Can I machine wash the changing robe?
Yes, it can typically be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water using a technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.
Does it have internal pockets for valuables?
Yes, it includes an inner security pocket, ideal for safely storing items like keys, phones, or wallets while you're active or changing.
Is the robe suitable for very cold weather?
The Borg fleece lining provides excellent warmth, making it suitable for cold conditions, especially for rewarming after water activities. For extreme cold, layering appropriately underneath is recommended.
What is the material of the lining?
The robe features a soft and warm Borg fleece lining, which contributes significantly to its comfort and insulating properties.
Troubleshooting
Robe doesn't seem to be as warm as expected.
Ensure the robe is fully zipped and cuffs are adjusted to prevent cold air entry. Check if the Borg fleece lining is fluffed up; if compressed, gentle shaking can restore loft. Consider wearing additional layers underneath in extremely cold conditions.
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric, not beading off.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the robe according to care instructions and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
Difficulty changing clothes discreetly inside the robe.
Ensure you are using the oversized fit to your advantage. Pull your arms fully inside the robe, allowing sufficient space to manipulate clothing. Practice changing a few times at home to get comfortable with the process.
Pockets feel damp or moist after exposure to rain.
While the outer fabric is waterproof, the lower pockets are not sealed waterproof compartments. Avoid placing sensitive electronics directly in lower pockets during heavy rain. Utilize the inner security pocket for items needing higher protection.
Robe has an unpleasant odor after use.
This usually indicates it wasn't fully dried before storage. Air out the robe thoroughly. If the odor persists, gently hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with a mild, odor-neutralizing detergent, then ensure it dries completely.

Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating and DWR finish.2. Drying: Hang to air dry away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying is generally not recommended as high heat can compromise the waterproof membrane and fleece lining. Ensure the robe is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the robe for extended periods, as this can affect the loft of the fleece lining and the integrity of the waterproof fabric.4.
