FAQs
Is this changing robe suitable for all seasons?
While its exceptional warmth from the Borg fleece makes it ideal for colder seasons and water activities, its waterproof and windproof capabilities are beneficial year-round for protection against elements. For very hot weather, its warmth might be excessive.
Can I wash this robe in a regular washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it, but it's crucial to use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical wash for waterproof garments. Avoid conventional detergents and fabric softeners as they can damage the waterproofing.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe is designed to be oversized for maximum comfort and ease of changing. It's generally a one-size-fits-most adult garment, intended to be loose-fitting. Specific sizing charts, if available, should be consulted for precise measurements.
Is this robe meant for men or women?
The Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe features a unisex design, making it suitable and comfortable for both men and women.
What is the material of the inner lining?
The inner lining of the robe is made from warm Borg fleece, providing excellent insulation and a soft, comfortable feel.
Can I use this for activities other than water sports?
Absolutely. While perfect for water sports, its warmth, waterproof, and windproof properties make it ideal for any outdoor activity where you need to stay warm, dry, or change discreetly, such as camping, hiking, or spectating outdoor events.
Troubleshooting
Robe appears less waterproof or is absorbing water.
This often indicates that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is failing. Wash the robe with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics. After washing and drying, you may need to reapply a spray-on DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
Robe feels cold inside, despite the fleece lining.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and any adjustable closures (if present) are snug to trap warm air inside. The robe's primary function is to keep you warm *after* activity; wearing appropriate warm base layers underneath will also enhance comfort in very cold conditions.
Difficulty changing clothes comfortably inside the robe.
The robe is designed to be very roomy. Practice changing in a non-stressful environment to get accustomed to the space. Utilize the wide armholes to move your arms freely. It may take a few attempts to find your preferred method for changing efficiently.
Unpleasant odor developing in the robe.
This typically occurs if the robe is not fully dried after use or stored while damp. Wash the robe following the care instructions, ensuring it is completely air-dried before storage. Prompt drying after each use is key to preventing odors.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your waterproof changing robe, especially its `Hydrafort 5000` waterproofing, follow these care guidelines:
