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.

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