Product Information

Full details

The Optimum Drywrap Long Sleeve Changing Robe is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, swimmers, and athletes who require a reliable way to change out of wet gear in unpredictable weather conditions. It provides the essential benefit of total warmth and privacy thanks to its fleece-lined interior and weather-resistant shell, though its bulky, oversized design makes it less practical for packing into small, lightweight daypacks.

FAQs

Can this robe be worn in the water?

No, the Drywrap is designed for changing and staying warm before or after being in the water. It is not intended for swimming.

How do I choose the right size?

The robe is designed with an oversized fit specifically to facilitate changing. Standard sizing applies, but you can expect a loose, comfortable drape regardless.

Is the fabric machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend a cold, gentle cycle and air drying to preserve the integrity of the water-resistant outer layer.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, the design includes a protective hood to help shield your head and neck from wind and rain.

Will this keep me dry in heavy rain?

The outer shell is water-resistant and windproof with taped seams, making it highly effective for most outdoor conditions, though it is not a 100% waterproof 'slicker'.

Can I store my valuables in it?

Yes, there is an internal zip pocket designed to store small, essential items like keys or a wallet securely.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking through the seams

While the seams are fully taped, ensure the outer shell is kept clean. Dirt or mud can degrade water repellency; wash as per care instructions to restore performance.

Cuffs do not stay tight

Check the hook-and-loop fasteners for lint or debris. Clear the surface of the velcro to ensure a strong grip.

The robe feels heavy after washing

Fleece holds significant water weight. Ensure you perform a proper spin cycle during washing, then hang vertically to drip dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent insulation in cold, wet conditions
  • Generous sizing makes changing clothes easy
  • Durable construction with fully taped seams
  • Windproof protection keeps the chill away

Cons

  • Oversized fit takes up significant luggage space
  • Fleece lining can take time to air dry fully
  • Only available in black for the adult male model

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Drywrap, it is best to hang the robe in a well-ventilated area after every use to allow the fleece lining to dry completely. For cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent, avoiding harsh fabric softeners that could compromise the water-resistant coating of the outer shell. The robe is designed for a universal, comfortable fit; there is no specific assembly required. Ensure the hook-and-loop cuffs are fastened before tossing the robe in the wash to prevent the velcro from catching on the fabric.
