FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Changing Robe?
The primary purpose is to provide a private and warm space for changing clothes outdoors, especially after activities like swimming, surfing, or at the beach.
What does the '10000mm' waterproof rating mean?
A 10000mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 10-meter column of water before leaking. This makes it highly effective against rain and general water exposure.
Is the lining warm enough for cold weather?
The Borg fleece lining is designed to provide warmth and comfort, making it suitable for cooler conditions after water activities. However, it is not an insulated jacket for extreme cold.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizes are available in XS-S, M-L, and XL-XXL. The length also varies with size (45 in., 65 in., and 85 in. respectively). Consider your height and how much room you desire for changing when selecting a size.
Can this robe be used as a raincoat?
While it offers excellent waterproofing and windproofing, its primary design is for changing. It can function as a temporary raincoat in moderate conditions due to its fabric technology.
Are there any special washing instructions?
Yes, machine wash at 40°C on a mild process, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean. Always close zippers before washing and wash with similar colours.
What materials are used in the robe?
The shell is made of 100% Polyester, and the lining is Borg Fleece. The fabric technology includes durable, water-repellent, and waterproof properties.
Troubleshooting
Robe feels damp inside after use.
Ensure the robe is fully dried after washing, including the Borg fleece lining. Tumble drying on low heat can help. For use, the outer shell is waterproof, but the inner lining may retain moisture if not adequately dried.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check that the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure zippers are closed before washing.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
While rated 10000mm waterproof, prolonged submersion or extreme pressure can lead to penetration. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may help restore water repellency if it has worn off.
Robe is too tight for comfortable changing.
Consider if the selected size is appropriate. The XS size, in particular, may be snug. For more room, opt for a larger size from the available M-L or XL-XXL options.
