This robe arrived promptly and was beautifully wrapped. The colours are even better than in the promotional image and the quality of stitching is great, which helps for frequent washes. I would definitely recommend to others.
Packaged lovely, great service came really quick.
I’m really pleased with the colour as it is more a salmon/peachy colour, so if you are expecting a ‘girly pink’ it isn’t. I don’t like ‘girly pink’ BUT gave in as I loved the overall pattern, so I am even more happy that it’s not pink pink!
I haven’t used it yet so will update when I have.
The pocket access to the insude of the robe made it much easier to pull on underwear. Very few other robes have this feature. Light weight good too. Pleased with purchase.
Bought this for drying off and changing after my aqua fit class when changing cubicles are at a premium and also for cosy drying off after using the hot tub. Used it once so far and it dries the same as a microfibre sports towel. Don’t rub, pat.
Absorbs moisture well, very roomy and easy to change under without losing your modesty, or dignity, in a communal changing room. Lightweight and not at all bulky, so very practical for carting about to classes.
Had a lot of compliments from fellow classmates and questions about where I bought it.
Nice fun pattern. The only minor criticism would be that the hood is huge, but it’s not really an issue. Also, some previous reviewers mentioned poppers, mine doesn’t have any. there are handy slits in the sides at pocket level which are useful for changing and you can also take your arms in and out of the large short sleeve openings with ease.
I’m just under 5’4″ and have the medium size which is roomy enough to change under without swamping me.
Colour is bright and cheerful. Material is soft to the skin, which is appreciated when in the sand and fresh from a swim. XL gives plenty of room to manoeuvre in and out of clothing discreetly.
I have one of these already and got a second for sea swimming, they are good value and very light, plenty of room for getting out of wetsuits or togs. Would recommend
I found this item to be a useful addition to my sea and river exercise routine.
Other reviewers have complained that it sticks to the skin and they are correct. It sticks because it is highly absorbent. In my opinion this is not a drying robe for using to change on the beach unless you are prepared to wear it for a few minutes until it has absorbed the water from your skin, at which point it will become less sticky and you can get changed without damaging the robe.
I attempted to get changed while it was still sticky and one of the seams next to the lower openings started to come undone. I decided to keep it as I hate carrying heavy stuff around and have to use public transport to access the river / sea. I do not own an expensive, heavy dry robe.
What works for me is to use this robe for walking from the sea to the showers / ladies where I can get changed in a warm, dry environment. I also carry a high quality, very thin and absorbent microfibre beach towel. By the time I get inside the robe is no longer sticky and I can get warm and dry quickly with the help of the other towel.
For me not lugging a heavy bag of kit is important as I have arthritic knees so this has been a very useful piece of kit and I will continue to use it though the winter.
If you like to travel light and enjoy wild swimming this is a useful piece of kit, just don’t try to forcibly remove it or change inside it if it is still sticking to your skin.
I really like this, great size and love the extra holes in the sides for getting dressed, no flashing!
It is lightweight and rolls neatly into the hood it also gives some protection from the wind
It does dry you but I was surprised it took a while to dry out, maybe I need to wash it.
All in all it does the job
It does what it says it’ll do. Fabric felt strange at first but it really does wick away the moisture. Only issue with it is the seam is weak but I have a sewing machine to fix that so I’m happy to keep it. Delighted with the xl as I’m a plus size and will use it at the pool. Very happy with this product!
I recently used this garment for the first time after bathing in a choppy sea (Scottish borders) with a full-body wetsuit over a ‘shorty’ one – it was that breezy and chilly. The beach poncho is light (microfibre) but really kept out the wind and the openings at the side between the press studs (which I didn’t need to open) made changing into dry clothes easy. I can’t comment on absorbency since the wetsuits had kept my body quite dry, but any damp seemed to have been easily absorbed by the material, so I guess it was fine. I ordered the XL size for length as I’m 6′ 1″/1.85 tall and wanted good coverage while changing, and this length was fine. The garment is voluminous enough to allow movement to change clothing under it while keeping covered. It is also lightweight and packs into a small carrying case – much more compact that the ponchos my family had purchased, which were microfibre too but with a towelling-type texture that made them thicker and bulkier. The hood is generous too, although as it doesn’t have a drawstring it might blow down on a windy day. Price-wise it was the same as them, and did the job I wanted it to do: to keep me snug on a blustery, cold day and to cover me adequately while changing.
