Dryrobe W****r

That page is so stupid. It might have had some relevance years ago when people only really wore dry robes for specific sport activities so seeing someone wearing one outside of that looked odd but they've grown in popularity so much that they're everywhere now.

It’s basically a glorified dressing down. Who wouldn’t want to wear a snuggly robe!
I’d love the balls to wear one !!!! I I woild
wear one for walking the dog !!! Or if I did water sports. I see people walking around every where in them… Almost like a blanket over a coat in the cold ? My mother thinks they are desperately trying to hard and hates sea swimmers with a passion! She thinks people from London are pushing up house prices and walking around drinking expensive coffee in her once cheap seaside now gentrified home !

It’s a weird thing to do.
I once wore mine on a plane because it was too big to pack and I was going on a surfing holiday. And during the flight we all wore face masks and I also had an eye mask. I’m sure there’s a picture of me looking really weird on a page like that somewhere 🤣

Got to admit was planning on buying one, thought they'd be perfect for dog walks and all the camping trips we go on, then I came across the group on Facebook and was totally put off by them.

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

@Benjibas

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?

There is a really good DRW page where robe owners like meself can post pics of themselves being DRWs! Thats quite funny.

I agree it’s a weird thing to do, taking and posting the photos. There is or was also a similar site for men in red trousers. Don’t think they blanked the faces out either.

Definitely! How bloody weird is it to judge someone for wearing a big coat - which is essentially what they are. Big, warm and waterproof.

There’s also a page for The Wolf Fleece Appreciation Society where they upload pictures of people wearing clothes with wolves on. It shouldn’t be allowed really. It’s mean.

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!!!!!

You can only be a dry robe wanker if you're wearing one miles from the sea, I.e in Asda. Plus points for wearing with crocs. And it's definitely not just women they target!

Agree it's a bit mean but all faces have to be blanked out.

I'd rather be a dry robe wanker than a weirdo taking photos of random women and children wouldn't you? 😂

Just looked on the page. It is weird they’re taking photos like that and uploading them, but I suppose it’s not illegal. They’re an interesting choice of clothing though tbf 😬
