And if your Dryrobe fails because of a manufacturing defect within the first year, the brand will repair or replace it free of charge. Naturally, this excludes instances where user negligence or accidental damage are to blame for the damage.

Vivida is relatively new to the watersports changing robe scene but has seen huge success with their poncho towel robes over the years, so they know what they’re doing!An excellent lower priced alternative to the Dryrobe and very similar. (It’s the one I currently use) Dryrobe – a specific brand of change robe that is ultimately a waterproof outer layer with a fleece lining Changing robes can be really expensive and not just the Dry Robe brand – so I’ve tried to select ones that fit all budgets, including towelling robes.

The downside of all that fleece? It is huge! This is obviously a robe designed to cope with Irish winters, but it is bulky. If you are going to be swimming in very cold temperatures then all that fleece is a godsend, but it isn’t the most compact of garments. In this section I outline all the different factors to consider when choose the perfect dry robe or dry robe alternative changing robe for you.

The outer layer is also relatively lightweight and the ripstop material looks durable and feels hardwearing. This outer shell is also waterproof and windproof, protecting you from the elements in the cold winter months. Perhaps the most well-known brand of all the changing robes, and for good reason too. In terms of warmth, this coat, with its recycled, synthetic lambswool lining is pretty unbeatable, and it provides incredible protection from the elements too. The lining of the robe draws water away from the skin, drying you somewhat before you use a towel. The original Dryrobe comes in all manner of shapes, sizes and colours, so there’s bound to be something to suit every taste. And if you can’t quite get on board with the outerwear of the moment, or you’re baulking slightly at the price tag, we’ve come up with a couple of alternatives that will keep you toasty and warm on the beach, even in the most bitterly British of summertimes. Waterproof and windproof dry robe made with polyester outer and Sherpa fleece fabric inner lining to keep you dry and warm in wet and windy weather

Microfiber or towel-lined waterproof changing robes are designed to absorb water and get you dry faster, while fur-lined ones are not as useful for drying off but can keep you warm while you wait to swim or after you dry off. If you think I left any out that should be included or have a suggestion for a future article, let me know in the comments below.With a decent range of colours to choose from, if you want to try something different from a brand that is very sustainability-focused, then you won’t go wrong with trying a Voited Robe. Red Paddle Co has some fashion-forward changing robes that work great for their intended purpose while leaving you looking stylish. They appear like an overlong, loose coat but with a classy design and colour scheme. This is a truly luxurious changing robe in material and appearance. Another small gripe is that the Dryrobe has no loop for hanging it on a hook. That means that you’ll have to use a hanger or the hood to hang it up, and the latter results in it hanging much closer to the floor than you might like. That’s quite possibly a deliberate decision because a hanging loop would be an obvious point of failure on such a heavy item of clothing, but again it’s something to keep in mind. Voited have taken a slightly different approach to their changing robes, compared to Gorilla, Vivida and Dryrobe. Instead of the synthetic woolly fleece inner lining, Voited have opted to use different materials depending on its placement and use.
