FAQs
How do I choose the right size Dryrobe?
Dryrobes are intentionally designed to be oversized to allow plenty of room for changing underneath. When selecting your size, consider your height and the general fit you prefer. Many customers find their usual clothing size to be appropriate, but if you prefer a very spacious feel for changing, you might consider sizing up. Refer to the brand's specific size guide for detailed measurements.
Can I wash my Dryrobe in a washing machine?
Yes, the Dryrobe Advance can be machine washed. Use a gentle cycle at a low temperature (30°C or 40°C) with a non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and biological powders, as they can damage the synthetic lambswool lining.
How should I dry my Dryrobe?
Do not tumble dry your Dryrobe. Hang it up to air dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain fabric integrity.
Is the Dryrobe suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the Dryrobe is designed to keep you warm in cold conditions. The combination of a waterproof and windproof outer shell with a thick synthetic lambswool lining provides excellent insulation against the elements.
Can I wear the Dryrobe as a rain jacket?
While the Dryrobe has a waterproof and windproof outer shell, it is primarily designed as a changing robe and for warmth. It offers good protection against rain and wind during changing or short periods outdoors, but it is not intended as a technical rain jacket for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What does '100% recyclable fabrics' mean for this product?
It means the materials used in the construction of the Dryrobe are designed to be processed and reused at the end of their life cycle, contributing to a more sustainable approach to product manufacturing.
Are there specific care instructions for the zipper?
The YKK zip is robust, but like any zipper, it can benefit from occasional care. Ensure it is clean and free from debris. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite from a pencil can help restore smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems reduced.
Ensure the outer fabric is clean and free from dirt or salt. Re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may be necessary after extensive use, following product manufacturer guidelines.
Lining feels less soft or clumped.
This can happen if fabric softener was used or if the garment was tumble dried. Wash on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent only, and hang dry. Do not use fabric softener.
Zipper is stiff or catching.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth and run the zip up and down several times.
Robe smells musty.
Ensure the robe is completely dry before storing. If a musty smell persists, wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and hang dry thoroughly. Ensure good air circulation during drying.
