Product Information
Full details
The Rapanui Clothing Changing Robe is designed for open-water swimmers, surfers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable solution for drying off and changing in variable weather conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of a water-resistant outer shell with a highly absorbent, quick-drying towel lining, providing warmth and privacy immediately after water activities. While it offers excellent functionality for beach and pool transitions, potential users should note that its bulkier design is optimized for utility rather than lightweight portability.

FAQs
Can I wear this while swimming?
No, this robe is designed for post-swim changing and warmth. It is not intended for use in the water.
Does it contain harmful chemicals?
No, this product is made without the use of PFCs or plastic, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
How do I choose the right size?
The Small/Medium size is designed with a loose fit to facilitate easy changing underneath, so it is meant to feel roomy.
Is the lining machine washable?
Yes, the robe can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. We recommend using cold or lukewarm water to protect the material.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are towel-lined for warmth and comfort, but they are not fully waterproof storage compartments.
How should I store the robe during off-season?
Store it in a clean, dry, and cool place, preferably hung on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape.
Troubleshooting
The two-way zipper feels stuck or difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper is stiff, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth to remove sand or salt residue.
Outer layer losing water resistance.
Over time, the water-resistant coating may wear off. Use a specialized PFC-free technical garment spray to restore the water-repellent finish.
The robe holds a damp smell.
This is usually caused by improper drying. Give the robe a thorough wash and ensure it is hung in a location with direct airflow until completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this robe is designed for rugged outdoor use, it requires minimal setup; simply shake it out before use. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Drying: Always hang the robe in a well-ventilated area after use to prevent mildew, ensuring both the outer shell and the inner towel lining are fully dry.
- Washing: Wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid heavy fabric softeners as they can interfere with the water-resistant properties of the outer layer.
- Storage: Avoid storing the robe while it is still damp or compressed tightly in a bag for extended periods, as this can lead to odors and material degradation.
- Compatibility: The Small/Medium sizing is best suited for individuals looking for a balanced fit that allows for enough internal room to change comfortably without being excessively oversized.
