A waterproof dry changing robe is a fantastic piece of kit that enables us to warm up, stay dry and get changed before and after exercise.
Men's and Women's Changing robes are regularly used for stand up paddle boarding, surfing, triathlon, open water swimming and many more different sports. Our robes take a lot of abuse with wear and tear and it is therefore essential that we look after our waterproof changing robes so they last as long as possible.
We have put together a guide on how to wash and take care of your changing robe poncho. Please follow these simple steps to keep your changing robe in its best condition for longer.

step 1
To clean your waterproof changing robe
By washing your robe only when needed
and on a delicate wash as recommended you can reduce the amount of micro
plastics being released into our oceans. To further help reduce the release of
micro plastics from your washing machine we recommend using a guppy bag, cora
ball or other similar product. These help to catch the micro plastics in your
machine and reduce the amount that makes it down the drain with the wastewater.
Over half a million tonnes of
micro plastics enter our oceans every year from washing our clothes. Let’s do
what we can to help our environment!
step 2
To dry your waterproof changing robe
· Leave to hang dry inside out at room temperature or outside on a good drying day
· Do not dry clean
· Do not iron
· Do not tumble dry
· After being washed a few times you will find that the waterproof outer layer will become less water resistant. We suggest using a special DWR water repellent spray on the outer layers to protect and make sure that the water repellent properties are completely restored.
