Collection: Changing Robes - Waterproof Robes For Outdoor Adventure

The changing robes really don't need a lot of care and it is best not to wash them often to preserve their waterproof properties. Please see our comprehensive care guide for full instructions.

No, tumble drying is not recommended, as it may damage the water-resistant coating and thermal lining. Always air dry your robe for the best results.

Yes! The waterproof outer layer prevents moisture from soaking through, making it a great option for keeping your car seats dry after a swim or other outdoor activity.

The size guide has been devised to allow for adequate changing room and for layering clothing underneath. If you are near the upper limit of a size bracket you may want to size up to ensure extra comfort and movement. Similarly, if you plan to use your robe more as a coat, and not for changing, you may wish to size down.

Definitely! Wild Moose robes are great for a variety of outdoor activities, including surfing, paddleboarding, hiking, camping, dog-agility and post-workout recovery.

They are perfect for staying warm and dry in unpredictable weather. They are also very popular with spectators on the side-line at winter sports matches and events.

Unlike a towel, a changing robe traps body heat, protects against wind and rain, and allows for easy changing in public spaces.

While towels are useful for drying off, a changing robe offers superior warmth and convenience.

Wild Moose robes dry relatively quickly, especially if hung in a well-ventilated area. The inner fleece lining retains some moisture but will dry faster than traditional towels when exposed to airflow.

While a changing robe can absorb some moisture, it is not a direct replacement for a towel. It’s best to dry off with a towel first, then use the robe for added warmth and protection.

Yes! The Wild Moose changing robe Eco has a waterproof rating of HH10,000, meaning it will protect you well in moderate to heavy rain. 

It depends on the size of your swimming bag.

Changing robes are bulky by design, so they may not fit in smaller bags. Our Caribou range of bags has been designed to easily accommodate a robe.

Using a stuff sack or compression bag can help reduce its size for easier packing.

For easy travel, roll your changing robe tightly and place it in a compression bag or waterproof dry bag. This will help minimise space and keep it dry while on the go.

Absolutely! Changing robes are designed to be worn over swimwear or regular clothing.

They are oversized to accommodate extra layers, making them perfect for staying warm before or after swimming and other outdoor activities.

Yes! Changing robes are designed to provide privacy and warmth, making them ideal for changing at the beach.

Their roomy fit allows you to change underneath with ease, protecting you from the elements.

To prevent damp odours:

•    Dry it thoroughly after every use before storing it.
•    Store it in a dry, breathable bag instead of a sealed plastic bag to allow airflow.

Absolutely! A changing robe is designed with thermal linings and windproof exteriors, making it an excellent choice for post-swim warmth, even in winter conditions.

To maximise warmth, consider layering underneath with base layers (such as the Koji core warmer) and plenty of mid layers, and maybe even another coat, before wrapping yourself in the robe.

To keep your changing robe fresh and ready for your next swim:

•    Hang it in a well-ventilated area or outdoors if the weather allows.

•    Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) to protect the fabric’s integrity.

•    If it’s particularly wet, shake off excess water and let it air dry fully before storing.

The Wild Moose robe Eco is designed to be durable and long-lasting. With regular use, you can expect it to last several years, depending on how well you care for it.

Proper cleaning, drying, and storage will help maintain its effectiveness and lifespan. Avoid leaving it damp for long periods and follow the care instructions.

Changing robes need very little cleaning as they shed dirt readily, and tend not to retain odours. However, if you do need to remove dirt the first port of call would be to wet-sponge wipe your robe.

If you choose to machine wash your robe, to maintain the waterproof properties, follow these steps:

•    Use a mild detergent without fabric softeners.

•    Turn your robe inside out

•    Wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature.

•    Air dry rather than using a tumble dryer.

•    Occasionally reproof with a water-repellent spray, to restore protection.
