The Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need warmth, weather protection, and privacy for changing in challenging conditions. Its oversized, weatherproof design with a cozy Borg fleece lining makes it ideal for post-swim or outdoor activity transitions, ensuring you stay warm and dry without the need for a private changing area. While incredibly functional for changing, its generous fit is optimized for utility rather than tailored style.
Here are the standout features that make your changing robe an essential piece of outdoor gear:

The Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe truly shines in scenarios where staying warm and dry while transitioning between activities is crucial. Here's how it performs in various real-world applications:
After a swim, surf, paddleboarding session, or any water sport, this robe allows you to shed your wet gear and get into dry clothes without needing a changing room. The oversized fit provides ample space to maneuver discreetly, while the Borg fleece lining instantly wraps you in warmth, combating the post-water chill. Imagine stepping out of the ocean on a brisk day and immediately being enveloped in coziness.
Whether you're a spectator at a rainy football match, a coach on the sidelines, or simply enjoying an outdoor concert, the robe offers excellent protection. Its waterproof and windproof Hydrafort 5000 fabric keeps you shielded from the elements, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout. The hood adds extra defense against cold winds and rain, making it an ideal choice for unpredictable weather.
For camping trips or caravan holidays, the changing robe serves as a versatile garment. It's perfect for walking to and from shared wash facilities in cold weather, or simply as an extra layer of warmth around the campsite on chilly evenings. The inner security pocket is particularly handy for keeping keys, a phone, or a small wallet safe and dry while you move around.
While its primary design is for changing, the robe's superior warmth and weather protection make it a practical outer layer for everyday use like dog walks, school runs, or any situation where you need to brave the elements quickly and comfortably. Its durable construction ensures it can handle frequent outdoor use.
Your Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it and it's ready to wear. Its oversized design means you can easily pull it on over your existing clothing or use it as a private changing booth, offering immediate utility right out of the packaging.
This robe is designed as a unisex adult garment. Its generous fit is intended to accommodate a wide range of body types and allows for comfortable changing or layering over clothes. It's compatible with nearly any outdoor activity where protection from the elements and a quick, private change are beneficial, including:
Swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, and open water events
Triathlons and other multi-sport activities
Camping, hiking, and caravanning
Spectating outdoor sports or events
Dog walking and general outdoor excursions in cold or wet conditions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your waterproof changing robe. Adhering to these guidelines helps preserve its waterproof features and fleece warmth:
Washing: Machine wash cold (ideally 30°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, or a mild liquid detergent. Close all zippers and fastenings before washing to prevent snagging.
Drying: Air dry only. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating and Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat and sunlight.
Do Not Bleach: Bleach can compromise the integrity of the waterproof fabric and DWR finish, leading to a loss of performance.
Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the waterproof coating and fleece fibers. If creases are a concern, gently smooth them out by hand while the robe is damp.
DWR Reapplication: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, consider re-treating the robe with a DWR spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
