Am I being unreasonable that I’ve discovered there is a Facebook page taking non consenting photos of lone women and children in dryrobes and mocking them. Or am I a snowflake? I wear one. Whilst I know they aren’t a stylish choice. It’s the most practical thing I’ve owned in years. I would be furious if someone took a photo of me and uploaded it

My dog also has one. The wanker! Someone bought it as a joke present but you know what? In winter it keeps the mud and muck off !

The Facebook page is hysterical. They judge everyone by their proximity to the beach without considering that we drive to lakes and rivers. With maybe one or 2 exceptions they are dressed in the get your feet warm quickly and put the dry robe on style of proper outdoor swimmers. And surely wearing them for 90 minutes in the frickin cold for watching your kids play football is sensible.

Tbf, they’re more tarpaulin than coat. But I can’t fathom anyone wearing those gopping duvet coats. Each to their own!

It’s an awful website and the people on there are vile. The coats actually look really comfy and warm but I won’t be buying one now as I don’t want to be put on the internet to have the piss ripped out of me.

PurpleFlower1983 · 07/02/2025 19:19

I find it quite funny to be honest and I do think it’s funny when people randomly wear them as coats but I’m sure many wouldn’t like my fashion choices either. 🤣

I've got one for walking my dog when it's pissjng down. I live in Kent, miles from the coast, and I couldn't give a shiny shit what people think.
What a weird world we live in 🤔 do people genuinely not have better things to be doing with their time?

Being a DryRobe Wanker ( and surfer/wild swimmer) myself I totally agree!
There’s various SM feeds like this - and as I live in a seaside town Inrecognise some of the ‘wankers’ and the locations.
One was posted of a DRW crossing a road - the road opposite our main beach as it happens but you couldn’t tell that from the photo. What a wanker! Walking back to their car after a swim!
Another one was a friend of mine in a CO-OP - DRW is shopping! Yeah, she was because that Co—Op is right around the corner from the beach and We often pop in post swim to pick up breakfast bits before heading home to shower/change for work.

You’ll find OP that it’s mainly angry men posting - because how dare a women wear something - practical, oversized, warm that allows her to keep dry watching her kids play sport, or after exercising. Or for camping or walking the dog in awful weather. Or heaven forbid - change clothes discreetly in. Public place.
wankers!!!!!

Hmm. Lowestoft?

Billybagpuss · 07/02/2025 19:14

My name is billybagpuss and I’m a dryrobewanker.

mine is the original dryrobe bought when you could get one for under £100 and no one had heard of them. If the lake I swim in is sub 5 degrees I will keep my dry robe on when I shop in Waitrose on the way home. I must look a right prat. But I’m warm and don’t care.

It was funny on a recent holiday to Iceland though when you could play spot the brits as they were all in dry robes. I didn’t take mine.

TheCatsTongue · 07/02/2025 19:13

Lots of pictures of men in DryRobes on that site too, I suppose that's misogynistic?

Printedword · 07/02/2025 19:11

They aren't unstylish, just an alternative vibe. Frankly, if you are in the way to the Cornish surf by train you don't really have the packing capacity to put it in the suitcase, so may as well wear it.

I'm in a landlocked county, the wild river swimmers wear them. Not just down by the riverside, also in Waitrose 🤣

Whippetlovely · 07/02/2025 19:09

I have one to wear whilst watching my child play sports in the freezing cold, they keep you really warm. I use my other coats for any other occasions as they do look a bit ridiculous they are bloody huge.

Loveumagenta · 07/02/2025 19:06

The absolutely ARE big enough to get changed in. That’s why they’re called changing robes.

TrumpsOrangeNoggin · 07/02/2025 16:07

The Wolef fleece though is a thing of beauty- and fabled on mn, maybe they're just admiring the Wolefs?

@Benjibas

Ah, the Wolef fleece threads back in the day.

Didn't they start after an episode on the Apprentice where the task was TV selling and they had to shift a load of fleeces embroidered with wolves howling at the moon?

What is the difference between a dry robe, a big warm waterproof coat and one of the waterproof oodies please?
I don't do waterspouts so I have no reason for a dry robe, but they aren't big enough to get changed under are they? So what is the purpose? Thanks

if you buy the right size, they are more than big enough to get changed.

They're especially great when you do muddy sports and your dirty clothes stick and are a pain to remove.

Dry robes are even better to wind haters on the school run or in town 😂
I am very tempted to get a bright pink one just to make it even more noticeable.

CellophaneFlower · 07/02/2025 18:56

That IS a crime though 🙈 Men in football socks when they're not needed to contain shinpads are obscene.

Big, warm, waterproof, fugly coats serve a purpose.

The call could come at any time...

OVienna · 07/02/2025 19:03

I've just had a look at one of the pages. It is literally photos of people going about their day-to-day business, quite innocently. Not showing off or doing anything whatsoever to draw attention to themselves.

"Here's a picture of a woman getting into her car - so hilarious!"

It's really not.

I think the FB pages with people trying to sell shite are totally fair game, in contrast (and can be quite funny...)

DryRobe
Sherpa fleece lining - dries your body.
Size - big enough to change in.
Properly waterproof - for the wind and rain and waves. Can throw it on wet ground to sit on. Stand in it dripping wet after swimming.
fleece lined pockets - snuggly for frozen wet hands.
Huge deep pockets - with zips - keep all your stuff in sometimes including hip flask, bottle of water, flask of hot tea
Hood - snuggly, lining dried wet hair.
hidden smaller op lets - phone, keys, wallet whatever.

I quite often get out of the water, put robe on, over swimmers, drive home. Car stays dry.

I am not dressing for you 😂

I bet if you put a photo of you in your coats, we will have a lot to say too. You. must be so bored if you have nothing better than judging people on the school run!

It is the best investment in clothing I have ever made

Yes!! As a person who lives by the sea who swims and walks my dog.. in all weathers .. yes it is..

I have worn my Dry robe more than ANY single piece of clothing I have ever owned! It’s more than 10 years old and looks new. They’re brilliant, for anyone who wants a big fuck off coat!
They’re designed to be something that you change inside off… hence the size. They’re designed to protect you from rain, water, waves - waterproof. They’re meant to dry you wehen wet - hence the Sherpa fleece.
Anyone who says they’re ugly really is missing the point, we know they’re are!

I remember the Full Kit wanker page where people would post pictures of grown men out and about in full football kits.

Can't get myself would up about this.
