FAQs

Is this changing robe suitable for year-round use?

Yes, its waterproof and windproof properties make it effective in colder, wet conditions, while the oversized design means it can also be used in milder weather for changing, although the fleece lining might feel warm on hot days.

Can I use this robe for anything other than changing?

Absolutely! Many users wear it as a warm, waterproof coat while spectating outdoor sports, walking the dog in bad weather, or simply keeping warm and dry during any outdoor activity.

How do I choose the right size?

The Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe features an 'oversized fit' designed to accommodate most adults and provide ample space for changing. Regatta typically offers these in universal adult sizing rather than traditional clothing sizes. Refer to the product's sizing chart if available, but generally, one size fits most with this style of robe.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, the robe features a 'grown-on hood' which is permanently attached, offering continuous protection for your head and neck against rain and cold.

Is the inner lining removable for washing?

No, the Borg fleece lining is integrated into the robe and is not designed to be removed. The entire robe should be washed according to the care instructions provided.

Can this robe keep me warm after cold water swimming?

Yes, the combination of the windproof and waterproof outer shell with the thick Borg fleece lining is specifically designed to provide immediate warmth and help prevent post-swim chills, making it ideal for cold water activities.

What is the 'Animal' pattern?

The 'Animal' pattern refers to a specific design print on the robe, providing a distinctive and stylish look compared to solid color variants.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be seeping through the fabric.

Ensure the zipper is fully closed and the cuffs are adjusted snugly. While the robe is highly waterproof, extreme prolonged exposure or damage can compromise it. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the outer fabric is wetting out rather than beading water.

Robe is not as warm as expected after changing.

Ensure you are using the robe immediately after getting out of the water. The Borg fleece lining provides warmth, but if you are still very wet, it may take a moment to feel warm. In very cold conditions, wearing a warm base layer underneath before changing can enhance comfort. Check that the hood is up and cuffs are tightened to retain maximum body heat.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean any dirt or sand from the zipper teeth using a soft brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or wax sparingly to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Robe feels too bulky or cumbersome when trying to change.

The robe is designed to be oversized for maximum changing space. Practice moving within the robe in a comfortable environment to get used to the generous fit. If you find it overly large for your frame, ensure you have selected the correct size (though often these robes are designed for a universal adult fit). While it feels large, this is its key benefit for discreet changing.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your changing robe.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Do NOT use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating and fleece fibers.
  2. Drying: Hang to air dry. Do NOT tumble dry, as high heat can compromise the waterproof membrane and fleece. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  3. Ironing: Do NOT iron.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  5. Waterproofing Renewal: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. You can restore it using a DWR-specific re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof outdoor gear.
