Getting changed after a chilly swim is simple with no fiddly zip and plenty of room and side poppers. In bad weather, the environmentally friendly, fluorine free waterproof and windproof outer layer and adjustable peaked hood keeps you snug in the worst of weathers. The fleece inner lining has been manufactured using recycled yarn with S.Café® technology, derived from post consumer plastic bottles. The S.Café® process embeds coffee grounds into the recycled yarn surface, providing faster drying times along with increased odour resistance and enhanced reflection of UV rays.

Now that I've been using this changing robe on a daily basis I just wanted to say how lovely it is. Lou was great at advising me and I've come to really like a few things about too: it's a great no-faff thing to just throw on after a swim, and it's a really good wind-break so your body can get on with the business of warming-up. My tip (which is probably valid for all changing robes) is to towel-down quickly before putting it on, and you'll get to appreciate how soft and warm the fleece feels on your skin. And it'll get you nice and dry which is the important thing. I baptised it over the New Year in a chill wind and it did the job perfectly well. I've only gone for swims in my speedos so far and haven't tried changing out of a wetsuit yet but it definitely feels ample enough to cope with that when I come to it. Cheers!
