Dryrobe Advance Adult Changing Robe : Perfect for the End Times

Posted on by Jacky

Dead impressed with the dryrobe advance tri series in black with a pink lining. Bought as a present, the robe really does what it is designed to do. The ‘towelling’ inside really does absorb water, it really is warm, and getting changed whilst wearing it is not only feasible, but actually doable. I bought the small to fit a size 8 , 158cm tall female. It seems to fit properly – so not drowning in it, but plenty of room for modesty and warmth. Used after a sea swim in northumberland in late september the dryrobe performed brilliantly. The dryrobe advance tri series seems really robustly made as well. The front zip is strong and works easily the pockets seem to be well seamed meaning that they won’t be dropping off anytime soon. The overall quality of construction and design is very high.

If you swim in the winter without a wetsuit you’ll love this. Gives you confidence that when you get out of the water you won’t be getting colder, you’ll be getting warmer immediately. (even if you do wear a wetsuit).

Best kit ever, used it on set whilst filming out side in the freezing cold, goes over the top of armour and is easy on and of can wait for the summer to wear on the beach. Down side the fluff goes every where have washed it but was covered in fluff from the lining but hey that’s what clothes brushes are for ?.Here are the specifications for the Dryrobe Advance Adult Changing Robe:

Excellent size for small adults. Excellent size for small adults. I am 5ft 2 and it is perfect for me to get changed under. I am glad that i didn’t buy the adult size as it would have been massive on me.

Used it at the cold duathlon pre and post and everyone was jealous. It kept me warm while i was warming up and kept me warm straight after before i had a chance to change and even after i had i kept it on to give added warmth (it was a cold day). My aching muscles certainly loved it.

Reviews from purchasers :

  • Worth the price – wouldn’t be without it
  • Big, bulky, cosy.
  • Fab piece of kit!

Good quality and speedy delivery. Good quality and speedy delivery.

Bought for my son who enjoys tough guy and other obstacle race sports as he was doing one this winter in freezing weather. It arrived quicly and is of very good quality. He took part in the last tough guy this january and got soaking wet and frozen. At the end he was able to put this dryrobe on and get changed underneath whilst warming up and keeping the wind off. He is delighted with it and cant rate it highly enogh.

    Worth the price – wouldn’t be without it. I first became aware of dryrobes when i saw them at an event, but convinced myself that i would be able to buy something cheaper that was just as good. Plenty of research later and with a wild swimming trip to the peak district coming up i gave in and bought a dryrobe advance as i couldn’t find anything that came close to the features and volume of good reviews. I’m rather rotund but only 5ft6 so went for the standard large size, with a pink lining. Having given my dryrobe a thorough work out i can now wholeheartedly recommend it. I have to admit to being a bit skeptical even after it arrived. I donned the robe, having retrieved it from my fiancee who was wearing it while doing ninja impressions around the kitchen, and attempted to change. Slipping my arms into the robe, getting my clothes off was easy – victory, i thought. Until my fiancee suggested i try picking them back up from the floor. Without some level of unzipping or putting arms back through this was impossible.

    This is huge, but then i expected it to be. It’s bulky to carry around, it pretty much fills my swimming bag and this might be an issue if it’s being packed in luggage. There is plenty of room for getting changed under it though, and it feels lovely and cosy. I’ll be testing it out properly after a night time sea swim later this week but i don’t envisage there being any problems with it.

    Very very very warm and useful sizes are generous which is good for wearing bouyancy aids underneath.

        I love this, means i can go to the pool without having to bother getting dressed so much easier that tugging clothes onto a damp body. Good quality and i’m delighted with it.

      Probably one of the best pieces of kit i’ve bought. I’m only slightly over 5ft so size is perfect but go for a bigger size if you’re taller. We’re using it for lots of sporting events as well as open water swimming. Waterproof, fab roomy pockets for your kit and super cosy. The only problem is my daughter keeps pinching it.

        Brilliant kit for people who love the outdoors. Brilliant – it seemed quite a frivolous purchase before i used it, but it is genuinely fantastic. Really well made, and a great concept, my wife and i both have them and love them. Ideal for any outdoor sport (we’re both kayakers but use them for much more) and even just when you’re a bit chilly, never mind that it protects your dignity when changing.

    Great for all-year-round swimmers. A christmas present for an all year round wild swimmer. She loves it and is the envy of all her club. It is warm and waterproof with plenty of room for undressing/dressing within it.

    Keep warm and private when changing. . When it is cold i get out of the cold water and put it on to keep warm. I can dry myself with a towel and get dressed without taking it off. Also good for getting changed in public without showing your naked body.

      Loving the robe for pre and post open water swimming. Would thoroughly recommend even though it’s pricey.

    I bought this having got a bit addicted to ocr’s but not liking being cold after. The item is pretty much as described – i’d argue on the small size the a4 inside pocket is more like a5 in size, but on mine i also found a secret zip that opens into the lining allowing me to stash a full change of clothes. Now i have this, it’s getting used frequently for full/partial changes out of wet gear after outdoor activities (to save my car interior getting trashed) or i’m just chucking it on over my coat to watch the kids do their outdoorsy stuff for some added warmth.

    Of all the gadets and gizmos i’ve bought in the last year, this stands head and shoulders as the most useful. Easy to change on a freezing cold river bank, by keeping arms inside while zipped up, there’s room to change without flashing one’s bits to horrified passers by. It’s warm, robust and very durable – a year in and there’s no signs of any wear or tear at all, and i’ve used it at least twice a week, every week.
