Keep Them Warm on the Sidelines: The Perfect Kids’ Changing Robe for Rugby & Football Season
The football and rugby season is here - and so are cold Saturday mornings, muddy pitches, driving rain and plenty of time spent standing on the sidelines.
While the kids might not mind the weather once the game gets going, keeping them warm and dry before kick-off, while waiting on the sidelines and after the final whistle is another story.
That’s exactly where a kids’ waterproof changing robe comes in.
A Gorilla Robe can be thrown straight over their football or rugby kit, helping protect them from the wind and rain while keeping them warm between all the action.
And for parents? It might just make those freezing winter mornings a little easier.
Perfect for the Sidelines
Not every minute of a football or rugby match is spent running around.
There are warm-ups, substitutions, half-time breaks, training sessions and plenty of waiting around before and after matches.
In winter, that’s often when kids start to feel the cold.
Our kids’ waterproof changing robes have a warm sherpa fleece lining and oversized fit, making them ideal for throwing straight over sports kit whenever they’re standing on the touchline.
Whether they’re waiting to come on as a substitute or warming up after the game, they can quickly get wrapped up without needing to completely change.
Waterproof Protection for British Football & Rugby Weather
Anyone who’s spent a winter beside a British sports pitch knows the conditions.
Cold? Probably.
Windy? Usually.
Raining sideways? Almost certainly.
Gorilla Robes feature a 10,000mm waterproof outer shell, helping keep young players protected when the weather turns.
There’s also a large hood, adjustable cuffs and fleece-lined pockets to help keep little hands warm.
So when the heavens open halfway through training, they’re prepared.
From Muddy Kit to Warm and Dry
The final whistle goes and suddenly you’ve got one very muddy child.
A kids’ changing robe gives them somewhere protected to get changed out of wet or muddy sports kit before getting back into the car.
The oversized design provides plenty of room for changing underneath, while the two-way zip and side zips make getting changed easier.
Football boots off. Muddy kit off. Warm clothes on.
Then into the car.
Hopefully with slightly less mud on the seats.
Made for Muddy Weekends
Kids’ sports gear needs to be practical.
That’s why Gorilla Robes are designed for outdoor adventures rather than staying pristine in a wardrobe.
They’re machine washable, so when the robe inevitably encounters a muddy football pitch, wet changing room or particularly enthusiastic post-match celebration, cleaning it doesn’t need to become another job to worry about.
Our darker colour options are particularly practical for football and rugby season too, helping make the inevitable mud and marks from winter sport less noticeable.
Personalised Kids’ Changing Robes
Want to make their Gorilla Robe their own?
We also offer personalisation, making our kids’ waterproof changing robes a great option for young footballers and rugby players.
Add a name or initials to create a robe that’s unmistakably theirs — particularly useful when you’ve got an entire team turning up with similar kit every weekend.
Personalised changing robes also make a brilliant gift for young players heading into the new season.
Changing Robes for Football & Rugby Clubs
Gorilla Robes aren’t just available for individual players.
We also offer bulk orders and discounts for football clubs, rugby clubs, schools and sports teams looking to order multiple changing robes.
Whether you want robes for a small group of players or you’re looking to kit out an entire squad, get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.
We can also discuss club and team personalisation, including adding your club branding or logo to create a professional team look.
They’re practical for match days, training sessions, tournaments and away fixtures - and they look pretty smart when the whole squad turns up wearing them too.
One Robe, Much More Than Match Day
The best part is that their robe doesn’t have to sit in the cupboard between matches.
A kids’ waterproof changing robe is useful for all sorts of outdoor activities throughout autumn and winter.
From football and rugby to swimming, surfing, camping, school trips and days at the beach, it’s an easy layer to throw on whenever they need protection from the cold, wind or rain.
And when summer eventually returns, it doubles as a changing robe for days by the sea.

Football and rugby aren’t fair-weather sports.

Keep them warm. Keep them dry. Keep them playing.
