Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe - Animal

Yes, the Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe features Hydrafort 5000 fabric, which is designed to be completely waterproof and windproof, providing excellent protection against the elements.

Generally, yes. It is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. However, always refer to the specific care label inside your robe for the most accurate washing instructions to maintain its integrity.

Absolutely. The combination of waterproof outer fabric and warm borg fleece lining makes it ideal for staying warm and dry in colder conditions, especially after water activities. For extreme cold, layering underneath is always an option.

Yes, the robe is equipped with two convenient front pockets and one internal zipped pocket. The internal zipped pocket is perfect for securely storing small valuables like keys, phones, or wallets.

Hydrafort 5000 is a waterproof and windproof fabric technology developed by Regatta. It ensures that the garment provides reliable protection from rain and wind, keeping you dry and comfortable during outdoor activities.

Due to its roomy design and thick fleece lining, the Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe is not as compact as a lightweight jacket. While excellent for comfort and changing space, it will occupy more room in a bag compared to thin clothing.

While it excels for post-water activity changing, its waterproof, windproof, and warm features make it incredibly versatile. It's perfect for any outdoor adventure where you need protection from the elements or an extra layer of warmth, such as camping, spectating at sports events, or dog walking.

While the outer fabric is waterproof, prolonged exposure or high humidity can lead to condensation inside, or the fleece lining may absorb some body moisture. Ensure the robe is fully aired out and dried after each use. Hang it in a well-ventilated area, preferably turned inside out, to allow the fleece to dry completely.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free it. For persistent stiffness, clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap, then apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like beeswax or a dedicated zipper wax) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

The Hydrafort 5000 fabric is designed for durable waterproofing. However, dirt, oils, and repeated washing can sometimes affect the fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Ensure you are washing it according to care instructions (no fabric softener). If needed, specialized wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatments for technical outdoor gear can be used to restore the DWR properties.

This can happen if the robe is stored damp or not cleaned regularly. Ensure the robe is completely dry before storing. Wash the robe as per care instructions, possibly adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (in addition to detergent) to help neutralize odors. Always air dry thoroughly.
