Your Questions
Stravaig Adult Waterproof Changing Robe - Thistle Purple FAQs
What is a Changing Robe used for?
A changing robe (also often referred to as a dry robe or swim robe) is used to keep you warm, covered, and comfortable while you get changed outdoors - especially after wild swimming, paddleboarding, surfing, or a chilly beach dip. It gives you privacy for quick changes, helps block wind and rain, and the cosy lining helps you warm up fast so you’re not standing shivering at the side of the loch.
They’re also brilliant as an extra layer for dog walkers, campers, and anyone watching outdoor sports on cold, windy days.
Sizing tip: if you’re buying it mainly to wear as a coat (rather than for changing underneath), we usually recommend sizing down for a less oversized fit.
Do Changing Robes Dry you?
Yes - a changing robe helps you dry off, but it won’t “magically” dry you on its own.
The soft, absorbent lining helps soak up water from your skin and swimwear, while the outer waterproof layer blocks wind and rain, which stops you getting cold while you’re drying and changing. For best results, give yourself a quick towel-off first, then pop the robe on to warm up and finish drying comfortably.
What size should I buy?
The answer depends on three things - your height, dress size and what you want to use it for. If you are planning to use as a coat then the general rule is take one size down from your usual size. Please check out our sizing guide for comprehensive advice on which size to choose. If you’re still unsure, drop us an email.
Lovely coat, very cosy, haven't tested in in rain yet but certainly windproof. I was concerned that it wouldn't be big enough, I'm 5'6" and very generously built but actually it's plenty big enough, not sure I could get changed in it but I didn't buy it for that so I'm very happy with it. Still plenty room in it. I anticipate it getting good use on my campervan travels!!
Pros:
Gorgeous purple colour, high waterproof rating, felt substantial, soft fleece inner, good shaped hood, zipped pockets, nice touch with the coin in the pocket, fast delivery, liked the Scots branding, amazing customer service with the speediest response to an email.
Cons:
Too short for me, I wanted one that I could sit down in and have my bum covered. Also that little bit of extra length would keep the wind off. Sadly most brands' robes get much shorter for smaller sizes which makes sense to an extent but small doesn't necessarily mean short. Would be a great length to cycle to your swim in it though.
First Time I wore ot today, , stayed dry and warm in the rain on and off to train, not to big and bulky , im really pleased with the fit, plenty of room for a chunky sweatshirt if needed
There's a good weight to it for warmth and I like the 10 000 ml waterproofness. Im only 5' tall and I was worried it would swamp me but it's not too bad although an XS would have been my choice if it existed. Great colour purple too. Will definitely recommend to friends.
I bought the Thistle Purple robe in Small. I'm a size 14 and wanted it for winter walks rather than after wild swimming. It's still quite roomy. It's well made with a robust zipper and the colour is lovely. It arrived promptly. I'm very happy with it.
