FAQs

Can I wear this robe as a regular coat?

While it offers excellent warmth and weather protection, its primary design is to be roomy for changing. This means it might feel more generous than a standard coat. It's fantastic for outdoor activities, but its fit is optimized for utility over streamlined fashion.

Is the Orla Kiely print durable and fade-resistant?

The print is integrated into the fabric design. Following the care instructions (washing cold, avoiding harsh detergents, and air drying) will help maintain the vibrancy and integrity of the print over time.

What is 'Hydrafort recycled polyester'?

Hydrafort is Regatta's waterproof fabric technology. 'Recycled polyester' indicates that the outer fabric is made from recycled plastic materials, contributing to environmental sustainability without compromising performance.

How do I know what size to choose?

The robe is designed to be roomy to facilitate changing. We recommend consulting the brand's specific size chart, usually found on the product page, and considering your typical clothing size. If in doubt, think about how much space you need to comfortably change underneath.

Can this robe be used in very cold temperatures?

Yes, the waterproof and windproof outer combined with the warm borg fleece lining provides significant insulation. It's well-suited for cold weather, particularly when paired with warm clothing underneath, making it ideal for winter outdoor activities.

What is the internal security pocket useful for?

The internal security pocket is perfect for safely storing small valuables like your phone, car keys, wallet, or earbuds while you're engaged in outdoor activities or changing, keeping them dry and secure against your body.

Troubleshooting

Robe doesn't seem as waterproof as before.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be wearing off. Try washing the robe as per care instructions to remove dirt, which can impair DWR. If the issue persists, consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product suitable for waterproof fabrics.

Fleece lining feels less fluffy or warm.

Excessive washing or harsh detergents can compact fleece fibers. Ensure you're washing on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Air dry completely to allow fibers to loft naturally.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean any dirt or sand from the zipper teeth. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a silicone-based spray or crayon wax) can help them run smoothly. Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not snagged.

Robe retains a damp smell after use.

This often happens if the robe isn't dried completely. Always hang it in a well-ventilated area until thoroughly dry, especially the fleece lining, before folding or storing. A gentle wash with a specialty outdoor gear cleaner can also help remove odors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Weatherproofing: Fully waterproof and windproof with taped seams, ideal for harsh conditions.
  • Excellent Warmth: Borg fleece lining provides significant insulation and helps with drying.
  • Generous Changing Space: Ample room allows for easy and private clothes changes outdoors.
  • Convenient Pockets: Internal security pocket and two zipped outer pockets for secure storage.
  • Quick to Dry: Outer fabric dries rapidly, reducing dampness.
  • Stylish Aesthetic: Unique Orla Kiely floral print offers a distinctive look.

Cons

  • Bulkiness: Its roomy design, while great for changing, may feel bulky for extended wear as a regular coat.
  • Specific Use Case: Primarily designed for changing and post-activity warmth, less suited for everyday fashion outerwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your changing robe requires no assembly. Simply take it out of its packaging and it's ready for use.

Compatibility

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Regatta Orla Kiely Changing Robe:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers before washing.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the waterproof coating and fleece.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry completely, away from direct heat sources. The quick-drying fabric will help this process.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure it's completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  6. Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need reproofing. If water stops beading off the fabric, consider using a DWR restoration product following the manufacturer's instructions.
