As a bonus, the large pouch pocket means you can stow other essentials like sunglasses, dry bag, keys, wallet phone et al.
With an outer made of 100% recycled and inner 95% recycled PET plastic (GRS certified) – approximately 110 recycled plastic bottles go into every cloak. Explore our range of Paddle board equipment and accessories, designed for beginners, intermediate and advanced SUP levels by watersports experts in Dorset, UK. With a toggled hood, long adjustable-cuff sleeves and a five-popper wind baffle to keep out the elements, the attention to detail feels luxurious.Please also note: We have a no quibble 90 day exchange or refund policy providing the item has not been used. A subtle spiral shell design dominates the back of this pick which ticks all the boxes: large enough to change inside of, zipped and fleeced to keep out the cold and inclusive of a giant hood to stave off the drizzle. The robe also has a double-side zip that makes it easy for you to get changed and also access your existing clothes with ease.
The fluffy synthetic wool lining inside the robe wicks away moisture to get you dry and warm very quickly. What’s more, it’s made using recycled fabrics, so eco-conscious Gen Z are all the more likely to be enamoured. Think of it like a warm, wearable towel – one that’s chic enough to don even when you haven’t just taken a plunge into the Cornish Atlantic or English Channel. The Beach Basha has large fleece-lined pockets on the outside and shoulder compartment with Velcro closure for smaller items.Heavy duty with taped seams, it was fully waterproof even in the heaviest downpours and seemed to offer a halfway house between a waterproof coat and a swim robe, looking less ‘obvious’ and being slightly more fitted, though our size medium (5ft7in female tester) still had plenty of room to change. While a black colourway is available, the more psychedelic ‘Beach Glass’ and Hawaiian prints reflect the casual fun of the brand’s origins.
Our crack team of OSS experts took a selection of eco-friendly changing robes to a cold, muddy riverbank in November to put them through their paces. I’m a big fan of the full-length front zip, so I can easily wrap up warm for a break during my cold winter sessions.We tested waterproofness (a mug of water fresh from the River Avon slung at them from a foot away), comfort when wet (a mug of the Avon poured over the inside, checked after ten minutes) and fit while wiggling about. Rather, change robes tend to be generously oversized, allowing for you to have the room to move around (and indeed, change) inside. Most manufacturers have children sizes through extra-large so each family member can get their own robe for when you go to the beach, campsite, or lake. A blustery November day by the river at Farleigh Hungerford swimming club saw Kate Rew, Rosie Nottage and Arron Collins-Thomas test a selection of eco-friendly robes.
Whether you are kayaking out on the ocean, paddleboarding, taking part in a triathlon, or training for other sports events, these robes will be useful. For example, the outer shell is made from 94 plastic bottles and the insulation is 100% recycled polyester yarn. Vivida is relatively new to the watersports changing robe scene but has seen huge success with their poncho towel robes over the years, so they know what they’re doing! For comfort when wet, we wanted to see how well the robes would draw water away from the skin and how dry they would feel after 10 minutes (less formally, we also observed how long the robes took to dry when home). Stand-up paddleboarding is one of the fastest growing UK watersports for how accessible the sport is to any and all watersport enthusiasts, with a quick learning curve to become a seasoned paddler.The Brobe has been constructed with a Nylon 250gsm outer shell that’s both waterproof and windproof and a super thick quick-wicking Sherpa fleece lining that will keep you warm and dry in all conditions. From board shorts to wetsuits, the brand is one of the most recognisable in the watersports game, and true to form, its hooded ponchos have proven staples. It has a surprisingly lightweight feel considering how tough and protective its outer shell is, which is designed to shield you from the wind and rain while keeping you warm and protected. If you don’t want to abandon your aesthetic just because you’re in swim mode, this is the drip to catch those drips. A rare robe that places emphasis on its logo, Seashell’s design is understated enough to get away with it.
