FAQs
Is this changing robe suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe features a Borg fleece lining and waterproof, windproof Hydrafort 5000 fabric, designed to provide substantial warmth and protection in cold and wet conditions, making it suitable for year-round use.
Can I machine wash this changing robe?
Yes, you can machine wash the robe. Please follow the care instructions: machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, and do not dry clean. Air drying is recommended.
How do I know what size to get if it's oversized?
The robe is designed to be generously sized to allow for discreet changing. Generally, you would choose your regular clothing size if available, and it will provide the intended oversized fit. If you are between sizes, consider if you prefer more or less room, but most users find their usual size adequate.
Is the inner pocket waterproof?
The inner security pocket is designed to offer protection for your valuables within the waterproof shell of the robe. While the outer fabric is waterproof, prolonged exposure to heavy moisture directly on the inner pocket's opening may allow some dampness. For electronics, it's always best to use an additional dry bag for maximum protection.
Can this be used as a regular coat?
Absolutely! While designed for changing, its robust waterproof and windproof properties, combined with the warm fleece lining and practical features like a hood and pockets, make it an excellent choice for an everyday coat during colder, wetter weather, particularly for casual outdoor activities.
What is 'Hydrafort 5000' fabric?
Hydrafort 5000 is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. The '5000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating of 5000mm, indicating its high level of water resistance, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in challenging conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking into the outer fabric, not repelling.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be wearing off. This is normal over time. Wash the robe as per care instructions, and consider re-treating the outer fabric with a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product.
Robe feels too bulky or cumbersome when trying to change.
The robe is designed to be oversized to allow for easy changing. Ensure you're standing fully within the robe and using the generous space. If still uncomfortable, practice changing a few times to get accustomed to the technique. It's meant to be loose, not form-fitting.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric lining is not caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or sand. If it continues to be stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant (designed for outdoor gear) can be applied carefully.
Borg fleece lining feels matted or less soft after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. A gentle brushing of the dry fleece with a soft brush might help restore some fluffiness.
