FAQs
What does 'Hydrafort 5000' mean?
Hydrafort 5000 refers to Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. The '5000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 5000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand 5000mm of water before it starts to leak, providing reliable protection against rain.
Is this changing robe suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, with its waterproof and windproof Hydrafort 5000 outer and warm Borg fleece lining, this robe is designed to provide significant warmth and protection in cold and wet conditions, making it ideal for winter watersports or chilly outdoor activities.
How should I wash this changing robe?
> Info needed: Always check the care label inside the robe for specific washing instructions. Generally, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, using a technical wash for waterproof clothing instead of regular detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and air dry to preserve the waterproof coating and fleece.
Can I wear this as a regular coat or jacket?
While it offers excellent warmth and weather protection, its oversized design is primarily for allowing easy changing underneath. It can be worn casually as an outer layer, but its fit is much looser than a standard jacket, optimized for its changing function.
Is the 'oversized' fit suitable for all body types?
The oversized fit is intentional to accommodate changing. It's designed to be roomy for adults across various body types. Choose your usual adult size, as it's made to be spacious. If you're looking for a more fitted robe, this model might not be the best choice.
Does it have internal pockets for valuables?
The product description mentions 'Two front pockets'. These are typically external hand-warmer or storage pockets. Internal pockets for secure valuables are not specified, so assume external access only for the stated pockets.
Troubleshooting
Robe feels too bulky or restricts movement when changing.
The robe is intentionally designed with an oversized fit to provide ample space for discreet changing. Ensure you have enough room around you to move freely within the robe. Practice changing in a relaxed environment to get used to the generous fit.
Water seems to penetrate the fabric, or it's not as waterproof as expected.
While the Hydrafort 5000 fabric is highly waterproof, ensure the full zip closure is completely sealed. Over time, the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can wear off. Consider cleaning the robe as per care instructions and then applying a suitable textile reproofing spray to restore its water repellency.
Fleece lining feels less warm or matted after washing.
> Info needed: Refer to the care label for specific washing instructions. Avoid using standard fabric detergents or fabric softeners, as these can flatten the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Use a technical wash for waterproof garments and air dry or tumble dry on very low heat to maintain fleece loft.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your changing robe.
- Washing: > Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label attached to the robe for precise washing instructions. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Use a technical wash product designed for waterproof breathable fabrics, not standard detergents, as they can damage the waterproof coating and fleece.
- Drying: Avoid high heat. Tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, air dry flat or hang dry away from direct heat sources. Excessive heat can degrade the waterproof membrane and fleece integrity.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the waterproof fabric and reduce the loft and warmth of the fleece.
- Reproofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer fabric may wear off. If water starts to soak into the fabric instead of beading up, consider applying a suitable DWR reproofing spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
