FAQs

What is the inner lining made of?

This specific Regatta Changing Robe (Grey) features a towelled fleece lining designed for comfort and effective drying.

Is this changing robe suitable for men?

While listed for females, the robe features a versatile loose fit that often works well for both men and women, especially for the purpose of discreet changing.

Can I wear clothing underneath the changing robe?

Absolutely. The loose fit is specifically designed to allow you to easily change out of swimwear or wetsuits and into dry clothes (or vice versa) underneath the robe, maintaining your privacy.

How waterproof and windproof is the robe?

The robe uses Hydrafort waterproof and windproof fabric, providing excellent protection against rain and strong winds, keeping you dry and warm in harsh weather conditions.

How should I store my changing robe when not in use?

After ensuring it is completely dry, hang the robe on a sturdy hanger or fold it neatly. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its materials and waterproof properties.

Is the robe suitable for very cold temperatures?

Yes, the combination of the windproof and waterproof outer shell with the insulating fleece lining (for this variant) provides significant warmth, making it suitable for use in colder conditions after water activities.

Troubleshooting

Robe feels less waterproof over time

Ensure care instructions are followed. Fabric softeners can degrade waterproof coatings. If heavily used, consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor gear.

Inner towelled lining takes a long time to dry

After each use, turn the robe inside out and hang it in a well-ventilated area. Avoid crumpling it up, which can trap moisture. Ensure full air circulation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap to remove any sand or debris. Apply a zipper lubricant (like silicone spray or wax) specifically designed for outdoor gear to ensure smooth operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Weather Protection: Hydrafort fabric is both waterproof and windproof, ideal for unpredictable outdoor conditions.
  • Enhanced Privacy for Changing: The loose fit allows for easy and discreet changing anywhere.
  • Effective Drying: Towelled fleece lining helps absorb water from your body quickly.
  • Comfort and Warmth: Fleece lining and hood provide insulation against cold.
  • Practical Storage: Two front pockets add convenience for essentials.

Cons

  • Bulkier Profile: The loose fit and protective layers mean it's not as compact as a regular towel for packing.
  • Not for Active Movement: While great for changing and waiting, its design isn't optimized for strenuous activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Regatta Changing Robe requires no assembly. Simply put it on over your clothes or directly after water activities. Ensure the full zip is functional and adjust the hood for comfort and protection.

Compatibility

  • Users: Designed for adults, particularly females (as per attributes). Its loose fit accommodates a range of body types.
  • Activities: Ideal for cold water swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, camping, beach trips, outdoor sports spectating, or any activity where discreet changing and weather protection are needed.
  • Attire: Can be worn over swimwear, wetsuits, or light clothing.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your changing robe, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours. Use a gentle cycle. Close all zippers before washing.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the waterproof coating.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  4. Drying: Hang dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane. The quick-drying fabric will facilitate this process.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron.
  6. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  7. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
