Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Leopard Waterproof Changing Robe is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, wild swimmers, and athletes who need a reliable, protective layer for changing outdoors in harsh weather. Featuring high-quality 200gsm Hydrafort fabric with a durable water-repellent finish, it provides excellent wind and rain protection while maintaining a modern, bold aesthetic. While it excels at shielding you from the elements during quick transitions, users should note that the emphasis is on shell protection rather than heavy insulation, making it a perfect outer layer for rainy conditions rather than a replacement for a thermal coat.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this robe fleece-lined?

This model focuses on waterproof and windproof protection using Hydrafort fabric and is not heavily fleece-lined, making it lightweight for easy portability.

Can I machine wash the robe?

Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip away the waterproof coating.

What does the S-M size equate to?

The S-M sizing is designed to be oversized to facilitate easy changing underneath, providing enough volume to pull your arms inside the robe.

Does it protect against heavy downpours?

The Hydrafort fabric and taped seams are highly water-resistant, making it excellent for heavy rain and wind, though no fabric is truly 100% waterproof in extreme, prolonged submersion.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zip-secured to keep items safe, but they are designed to be weather-resistant rather than fully submersible waterproof.

Can I wear this robe while driving?

While the full-zip design allows for it, the robe is quite voluminous for changing purposes, so it is generally recommended to remove it for driving to ensure proper seatbelt fit and mobility.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the robe with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.

Zip feels stiff or sticks during use.

Check for debris or grit in the teeth. Gently clean the zip with a soft brush and consider using a dry silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Pros and Cons

  • Superior waterproof and windproof protection for outdoor use.
  • Stylish leopard print pattern offers a unique aesthetic.
  • Full-zip design allows for quick and effortless changing.
  • Adjustable cuffs and hood ensure a secure, customized fit.
  • Multiple storage pockets for hands-free convenience.

Cons

  • Lightweight construction means less thermal insulation than heavier fleece-lined robes.

  • Requires regular DWR re-treatment over time to maintain optimal waterproofing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta changing robe, follow these care steps:

  1. Washing: Use a mild, non-biological detergent and wash at a low temperature to preserve the waterproof finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the water-repellent coating.
  3. Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface after a period of use, apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after cleaning.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the robe is completely dry before folding to prevent mold or mildew growth.
  5. Fit: The robe is cut for easy movement; consider the size chart (S-M, XS-S, L-XL) carefully to ensure enough room for changing underneath.
