FAQs
Is this changing robe truly waterproof?
Yes, the Regatta Orla Kiely Changing Robe is made with Hydrafort 100% polyester fabric and features taped seams and a durable water-repellent finish for complete waterproof protection against rain and splashes.
What age group is this specific robe suitable for?
This particular variant is designed for children in the 9-10 age group. Other sizes may be available to fit different age ranges.
Can it be used in cold weather?
Absolutely. The cosy borg fleece lining is designed to provide significant warmth and comfort, making it ideal for use in colder weather after water activities or just as an extra warm layer outdoors.
How do I clean the changing robe?
Info needed: [Specific washing temperature and cycle, e.g., Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean.]
Does it provide enough privacy for changing?
Yes, its loose and ample design offers excellent coverage, allowing children to change discreetly underneath, whether at the beach, by the pool, or at outdoor events.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The main fabric of the robe is waterproof, but the pockets themselves are not sealed waterproof compartments. They are suitable for storing non-sensitive items or keeping hands warm, but not for electronics or items that must stay absolutely dry if exposed to heavy rain.
What is the material composition?
The changing robe is made from 100% Polyester for both the outer waterproof fabric and the inner borg fleece lining.
Troubleshooting
Robe doesn't seem to be waterproof anymore.
Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. If intact, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish might have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment designed for waterproof garments. Ensure it is cleaned according to care instructions, as dirt can also impair water repellency.
Fleece lining feels less warm or matted.
This can happen over time with repeated washing. Ensure you are washing the robe on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and air drying or tumble drying on very low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce their insulating properties.
Print is fading or cracking.
Fading or cracking can occur with harsh washing, drying at high temperatures, or excessive sun exposure. Always wash inside out on a gentle cycle and air dry to preserve the print quality. Avoid direct prolonged exposure to intense sunlight when not in use.
Robe feels stiff after washing.
Using too much detergent or not rinsing thoroughly can leave residue. Try re-washing with less detergent and an extra rinse cycle. Also, avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life of your changing robe and maintain its waterproof and insulating properties.
- Washing: Info needed: [Specific washing temperature and cycle, e.g., Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle]. Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish and taped seams.
- Drying: Info needed: [Specific drying instructions, e.g., Tumble dry on low heat or air dry]. Excessive heat can damage the waterproof coating and fleece lining. Air drying is often recommended to preserve technical fabrics. Do not iron.
- Storage: Ensure the robe is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place. Storing it damp can lead to mildew.
- Maintaining Water Repellency: Over time, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need to be re-applied. Look for wash-in or spray-on DWR treatments suitable for waterproof outerwear. Always follow the product instructions for application.
