Fit-Flip Changing Robe, Oversized Microfibre Changing Towel - Towel Poncho and Surf Poncho for Beach and Swimming, Quick Dry Hooded Towel for Men & Women

Product Information

Wear your surf poncho before and after doing your favourite watersport, on a camping trip or at an outdoor sporting event. Despite all these toasty extras it’s surprisingly lightweight, which is even more impressive when you consider the exterior is tough and weatherproof.

A changing robe is a big investment, but a good one should last you a lifetime, so if you do decide to take the plunge make sure you've considered the following: Using your changing robe is simple — just pop over wet gear after swimming, paddle boarding or surfing and get changed underneath. Then, if you've opted for a parka-style variety, you can stay cocooned inside to stay cosy. Protection - Your weatherproofing needs will depend on where in the world you are and what times in the year you swim. Look out for waterproof and windproof materials to keep you toasty in inclement weather. In the summer you might be fine with just a towelling robe, but they don't offer much protection against rain. We've all had that awkward experience with a towel coming loose while struggling to get changed at the beach. That's why in recent years changing robes have become quite the revelation for anyone who loves the surf and the water. By freeing up your hands and providing protection from the weather, they make getting changed on the sand or in cold car parks a little more enjoyable. A full zip on the front means getting it on and off is simple, plus the toggle hood means you can pull it tight to keep out windchill on those blustery days by the shore.

Waterproof Changing Robes

It's the cotton and plush microfibre changing robes that will have your head covered and then some. Look out for words like over-sized, baggy, or simply just 'large' when on the hunt for the cosiest hood in all the land, especially if you have long hair that takes a while to dry. Our Saltie Lite Change Robe is perfect for drifting, swimming, mountaineering, travel, kayaking, hiking & camping plus many more activities.

Sometimes known as a change robe or dry robe, changing robes are essentially toasty portable capsules designed to protect you from the elements. 'Changing robes are clothes that work as mobile changing huts,' says Kate Rew, author of The Outdoor Swimmers’ Handbook and founder of the Outdoor Swimming Society. This stylish robe from Oksun will keep you warm and looking good the whole year round. Its oversized hood and extra long sleeves give added protection from the elements, while oozing those dressed-down baggy surf vibes. Sleeve length: Do you plan on wearing your change robe through summer and autumn and into winter? If so, long sleeves might be the most sensible option, preferably ones with adjustable cuffs so you can seal off against any potentially freezing winds come November. Shorter sleeves meanwhile, are a better, more flexible option for those fair weather swimmers only, or for those wanting to avoid trapping any more sand than they already have. We've got a huge range of change robes from all the top brands including Dryrobe, Northcore, Red Paddle Co and Mystic. Vivida have created eight styles of beauty-defining robes for the avid water enthusiast who wants to dry off and look good while doing so. They have a design for everyone within this range, while two adult sizes (one of which is suitable for wider builds up to a generous 6 foot 5) offer even more inclusion.

This oversized changing robe will give you the look and feel of an ancient surf warrior. It comes in two sizes – S/M and L/XL – which allows everyone to adorn this insanely baggy robe that oozes style and steeze. You can change with confidence no matter the conditions with the extensive range of changing robes for swimmers at great prices now available at Wiggle.

Say hello to your new BFF: changing robes — if you’ve been mainlining (ok, rewatching) Bad Sisters on Apple TV like we have, you’ll have seen the cast sporting them throughout. They're arguably the most important piece of cold water swimming kit (after a swimsuit, that is). Our microfibre robe is lightweight and compact enough to be thrown in your bag, ready for the next time. Our robe isn’t only just ideal for the beach it is also a handy accessory for any camping trips (think throwing on after a shower), festival trips and after muddying your clothes playing outdoor sports. Someone on Cosimac’s marketing team had their head screwed on right when they came up with the brand name — this changing robe really is incredibly cosy. While changing robes are by no means essential, if you make a habit of submerging yourself in freezing cold water, it's a good idea to have some means of warming yourself up afterwards. 'One of the many great things about outdoor swimming is that the kit needs are minimal,' says Rew. 'You can dry yourself in a standard towel, or make your own changing robe by sewing two towels together. And afterwards you can just wear a coat.'

All the fabric is 100% recycled and unlike other changing robes the outer is made from premium twill, so it really feels like a proper coat.
