Dryrobes

[InvisibleWomenMustBeRead]

AIBU to ask if anyone has a Dryrobe and if so, are they worth the money? Really want one but at £130 I'm struggling to justify the expense.

(Sorry for the boring AIBU!)

DS has a yingfa one- used it for open water swimming in previous years. I think he’ll be using it after swim squad training in a few months if the changing facilities stay shut. It’s fine coming out in wet jammers an a pair of shorts now, might be less fun in October!
Anyway, it was great for cold days beside the lake.

I have a Moonwrap - cost about £60. Most of my sea-swimming pals have the 'official' Dryrobe but they seem exactly the same to me.

Best purchase ever!! Even wear it to walk the dog on a cold wet winters night. Makes me look like a dog walking wizard though 😂

That’s hilarious. I’m afraid we’re going to need to see photographic evidence though.

Would you recommend long or short sleeve?

Right, you have convinced me, been looking at them for ages!!

Love my dryrobe! I don’t use it in the summer but it was a game changer for autumn and winter sea swims. Worth every penny.

I'd get one if I swam in winter. Although as someone has already said, I'd worry about it being nicked.

I've got a thick Saltrock changing robe instead. I could live in the thing .

Thanks all - have ordered the short sleeve given all how feedback! Looking forward to receiving it!

*your, not how!

I Saw a lady wore a dryrobe Parker in my local Waitrose and fell in love. How does the sizing work? If your a dumpy 5ft overweight dwarf?? Ha ha

Worth it???

Outdoor Swimming Society have done some reviews of various changing robes here:

I got this Zone3 parka in navy and orange earlier in lockdown. It's great but appears to be sold out now.
