Why Choose a Stravaig Changing Robe?
Share
When you’re standing on a windy beach, beside a cold loch, or at the sidelines of a rainy football match, your changing robe isn’t just another layer - it’s the difference between heading home early and staying out to enjoy it.
With so many waterproof changing robe brands out there, why choose Stravaig?
This guide walks you through what makes our robes different, and why outdoor lovers across the UK are choosing Stravaig for wild swimming, dog walks, camping, and everyday adventures.
Designed in Scotland for Real Weather
Stravaig is a small, family-run Scottish business. Our name comes from the Scottish Gaelic word “Stravaig” - to wander without purpose - and our changing robes are built for exactly that: long, slow, weather‑beaten days outdoors and wild swimming in Scotland.
We don’t design for studio photoshoots or perfect blue‑sky days. We design for:
- Horizontal rain on the school run (our Robes are waterproof to 10,000mm)
- Icy lochs at 7am
- Windy dog walks when everyone else has gone home
- Freezing touchlines and muddy car parks
If it works in Scottish weather, it will work almost anywhere.
Warmth Without the Hefty Price Tag
A lot of premium dry robe style coats now sit well over £100. We wanted to offer the same “hug in a coat” feeling without the eye-watering price.
Our adult waterproof changing robes are:
- Premium quality at an accessible price
- Lined with thick sherpa fleece to lock in warmth after cold‑water dips or long walks
- Built with a recycled nylon outer shell, chosen for durability and weather protection
You get the cosy, premium feel of the big brands, without paying for a logo.
Properly Waterproof, Not Just “Water‑Resistant”
If you’re buying a changing robe UK for real weather, “showerproof” isn’t enough.
Stravaig robes are designed with:
- A high waterproof rating (10,000mm) suitable for persistent rain
- A tough, recycled outer fabric that stands up to wind, spray, and sudden downpours
- Details like a deep hood, and two‑way zip to keep the elements out
We’ve built our robes around the kind of days where the forecast says “light showers” and delivers a full‑on storm. If you’re curious about the technical side, our guide to waterproof ratings explained breaks it all down in simple terms.
Thoughtful Details That Actually Matter
The small details are what make a waterproof changing robe something you reach for every day, not just after a swim.
Stravaig changing robes include:
- Roomy, fleece‑lined hand pockets - for cold fingers, gloves, or dog treats
- Secure internal pockets - for your phone, keys, or car fob
- Two‑way YKK branded zip - so you can move freely, sit down, or drive without taking it off
- Oversized fit - enough space to get changed underneath, without feeling like you’re drowning in fabric
Every feature is there because customers asked for it or we needed it ourselves outdoors.
Sizes and Colours for Real Life
We know our customers use their robes for more than just wild swimming. They’re worn:
- On muddy dog walks
- At kids’ football, rugby, and hockey matches
- On campsites and caravan sites
- On beaches, lochs, and riverbanks across the UK
That’s why we offer:
- A range of sizes with clear, honest size guides to reduce guesswork
- Versatile colours like Black, Khaki Green, Sage Green, Lilac, Purple, and Teal - so you can choose something bold or something that goes with everything
Our goal is simple: a robe you feel comfortable wearing anywhere, not just on the beach.
Trusted by Hundreds of Customers
You don’t have to take our word for it. Stravaig has hundreds of verified reviews from customers who use their outdoor changing robes week in, week out.
Customers tell us they love:
- The warmth and comfort straight out of cold water
- How often they end up wearing their robe for “normal life”, not just swims
- The quality of the fabric and stitching for the price
- Our friendly, responsive customer service when they have questions about sizing or colours
As a small business, every review matters to us - and we read them all to keep improving.
