About this deal

If you think I left any out that should be included or have a suggestion for a future article, let me know in the comments below. The main zip goes both ways, making it easy to change and keep parts of yourself covered. Plus, the YKK zip has been made with tough, anti-corrosion plastic so it will last even when exposed to the worst weather conditions. Some sleeves on full length robes can be tightened whilst an issue with some short ones is that wind whistles up your arms! Although my go to robe is a Moonwrap these days and it is very comparable and less cost than a dryrobe I would not say the dryrobes are not good value for money.

SUSTAINABILITY: Charlie McLeod scores very highly on the eco-credentials. With an outer made of 100% recycled and inner 95% recycled PET plastic (GRS certified) – approximately 110 recycled plastic bottles go into every cloak. Good if you’re looking at something which offers more waterproof protection than a towelling robe but not as big as a full size changing robe like the Dryrbe or Moonwrap.The Smoc Smoc’s are lined with bamboo which is a natural highy-absorbent, insulating hypo-allergenic fibre. I’ve owned both a DryRobe and a Moonwrap along with various poncho towels so I have plenty of hands on experience. I’ve also shortlisted ones with particular features or styles – tall people, harsh weather, colours or lightweight. The Charlie McLeod robe does benefit from a push-button fastening on the sleeve so you can plug any gaps and stop the wind draught! Zip

dryrobe moved away from old school square designs. These led to bits of skin being exposed to the wind (or rain) when changing. As well as letting the chill in, they were also particularly problematic for women, with unwanted chest flashes. Value for money Vivida is a fairly new entry to the world of changing robes but are a successful brand in their own right, particularly with their poncho towel robes. SUSTAINABILITY: The Dry-Series has a 100% recycled nylon outer and a 100% recycled polyester lining – all GRS certified, and also use eco friendly DWR waterproofing. Not B Corp but signed up to 1 % for the planet (they’ve committed to donate 1% of sales to support non-profits focused to preserving and restoring the natural environment) and as part of the sustainability of their products they offer repairs for a ‘nominal fee’ to ensure their products longevity. Bear in mind that with short sleeved robes you will get gusts of winds up your arms! Full length zip frontThe SmocSmoc and Dryrobe have taped seams which keep you totally drive in particularly foul weather. Storage This is a high end robe with excellent features and lined with sherpa fleece for keeping warm and soaking up moisture. Dry robes are fantastic – I can’t entertain the thought of getting out of the water without a warm, waterproof and windproof tent to change and warm up in!
