The Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe excels in environments where warmth, weather protection, and discreet changing are paramount. Its design makes it ideal for a variety of outdoor pursuits and scenarios:
Post-Water Sports: Perfect for changing out of wetsuits or swimwear after activities like wild swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, or open-water kayaking. The spacious interior allows for easy movement, and the waterproof exterior keeps you dry from the elements while the fleece lining rapidly warms you up.
Outdoor Events & Spectating: Wear it over your clothes to stay warm and dry while watching outdoor sports, attending festivals, or camping. Its waterproof and windproof properties will shield you from adverse weather.
Cold Weather Protection: Use it as an extra layer of warmth during chilly outdoor adventures. The Borg fleece lining provides significant insulation, making it comfortable even in cold, damp conditions.
Emergency Preparedness: Keep it in your car for unexpected downpours or as a cozy layer during roadside stops in bad weather.
The Hydrafort 5000 fabric effectively repels water and blocks wind, while the Borg fleece lining efficiently traps body heat. The oversized fit is key to its utility, allowing you to comfortably pull your arms inside for changing without exposure. The zipped pockets are practical for securing keys, phones, or small wallets, ensuring your essentials stay dry and safe.

This robe is designed for adults and is highly compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities where changing outdoors is necessary or staying warm and dry is a priority. It pairs well with swimwear, wetsuits, and athletic wear.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your changing robe:
Cleaning:
Machine Wash: It is generally recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water.
Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents, as they can damage the waterproof coating and DWR finish.
Zippers: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing to prevent snagging.
Drying:
Air Dry: Hang the robe to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric and waterproof membranes.
Waterproofing Maintenance:
Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric may wear off, causing water to soak into the fabric rather than bead up.
To restore DWR, clean the robe and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Storage:
Store the robe in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
