Product Information
Full details
The Bleubird Nordic Waterproof Changing Robe is an essential garment for outdoor enthusiasts, wild swimmers, and water sports athletes who require privacy and warmth while changing on the go. Featuring a fully waterproof external shell, a plush sherpa-lined interior, and a thoughtful design that includes side slits and tapered tailoring for ease of movement, it provides superior protection against the elements. While it offers excellent thermal regulation and weatherproofing, users should note that its heavy-duty construction and lining mean it is bulkier to transport compared to standard towels or ponchos.

FAQs
Can I use this robe for activities other than swimming?
Yes, the waterproof and windproof qualities make it an excellent choice for spectators at outdoor sports, dog walking, or camping.
Is the robe machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle, but avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying.
Does the robe have enough room to change underneath?
Yes, the cut is specifically designed with side slits and a tapered rear to allow enough space for movement and privacy while changing.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
The external chest pocket is designed to be waterproof, protecting your valuables from rain and spray, though it is not intended for submersion.
How do I choose the right size?
These robes are typically oversized to allow for easy changing underneath. Refer to the specific size guide for the S/M or L/XL variants to ensure the length meets your needs.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective over time
Ensure the robe is clean and free of salt or dirt, as buildup can affect water repellency. If the outer surface is heavily saturated, a specialized DWR re-proofing spray can be applied.
Sherpa lining feels matted
After washing, gently brush the lining with a soft-bristled brush once dry to restore the loft and softness of the sherpa material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
