Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe - Black

Yes, its waterproof and windproof `Hydrafort 5000` outer, combined with the warm `Borg fleece lining`, makes it suitable for use in all seasons, particularly effective in colder and wetter conditions to provide warmth and protection.

Yes, you can machine wash the robe. It is recommended to wash it in cold water with similar colors and a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry, bleach, iron, or dry clean. Hang dry thoroughly to preserve its features.

The 'oversized fit' means the robe is generously cut to provide significant room inside. This design allows you to comfortably pull your arms in and change clothes underneath the robe discreetly, without feeling cramped. It is not designed to be a snug, tailored garment.

Yes, the robe features an `inner security pocket` for safely storing small valuables like your phone, keys, or wallet. It also has `2 lower pockets` on the exterior for hand warming or quick access to other items.

Due to its durable waterproof fabric and thick `Borg fleece lining`, the Regatta Waterproof Changing Robe offers substantial warmth and protection, making it a robust rather than lightweight item. Its weight contributes to its insulating properties.

This robe is ideally suited for anyone participating in outdoor activities where you need to change in public or cold/wet environments. This includes cold water swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, triathlons, hiking, camping, or simply staying warm while watching outdoor sports.

The Regatta Changing Robe is designed with an oversized fit to allow ample space for changing. If it feels too restrictive, ensure you are pulling your arms fully inside the robe. The extra room allows you to move your arms freely to remove or put on clothing. Practice a few times in a comfortable setting to get accustomed to the technique.

Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off, causing the fabric to wet out. To restore water repellency, wash the robe according to care instructions, and then apply a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing, and follow the DWR product's instructions carefully. Also, check for any damage to the `taped seams` that might compromise waterproofing.

The warmth of the Borg fleece lining can be reduced if it becomes matted or dirty. Ensure you are washing the robe correctly (cold machine wash, no tumble dry) and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the fleece fibers. Air dry thoroughly. If the fleece is consistently matted, a gentle brushing with a soft brush once dry might help restore some loft.
