Dryrobe - Adults Long Sleeve dryrobe® Advance

dryrobe® Advance Long Sleeve — Adult Changing Robe

The dryrobe® Advance is the original, the most copied, and still the best. Built for people who spend serious time outdoors in serious conditions, the Advance Long Sleeve has become the go-to changing robe for kitesurfers, wild swimmers, surfers, cyclists, and outdoor athletes across the UK and beyond.

It combines a waterproof, windproof outer shell with a thick, warm synthetic lambswool lining — so you can go straight from a cold November session into a cosy, dry wrap without needing to find shelter. Pull it on in the car park, change underneath it, and you're warm and decent before you've even unlaced your boots.

Key Features

• Waterproof and windproof outer shell — 100% recycled nylon with BIONIC-FINISH® ECO water-repellent treatment, keeping wind and rain out even in the worst British weather
• Super-warm synthetic lambswool lining — made from 100% recycled polyester, thick enough to warm you up quickly post-session without being bulky to move around in
• Full-length 2-way reversible YKK® zip — unzip from the bottom for easy leg access and changing; built to last years of heavy use
• Tailored sleeves with hook-and-loop wrist fasteners — stops wind tunnelling up your arms and keeps the cuffs snug on cold days
• Minimal sealed seam construction — keeps water out where it matters most
• Deep, fleece-lined external zip pockets — warm hands, secure storage for keys, phone, and snacks
• Huge 'A4' internal soft-lined poacher pocket — fits a wetsuit, towel, or anything bulky you need to stash
• Internal waterproof zip pocket — dedicated to your phone or wallet, keeps them dry even if the outer gets soaked
• Lightweight construction — approximately 1.3kg depending on size
• Sustainable materials — both the outer fabric and lining are made from 100% recycled materials

Size Guide

dryrobe® Advance fits generously — choose based on how you plan to use it.

For changing underneath: Choose your normal size or go one up for extra room to manoeuvre. The robe needs to be roomy enough to pull on over a wetsuit or bulky kit.

For wearing as a coat: Refer to your chest and height measurements. If you're between sizes and wearing it over thermals or a fleece, size up. If you mostly wear it slim over light clothing, your normal size works well.

Important Safety Note

The dryrobe® Advance is designed for use out of the water — on the beach, at the car park, or trackside. It is not designed to be worn in the water or while on a paddleboard, kayak, or any watercraft. Falling into water while wearing a dryrobe® would present a serious drowning risk. Please always remove it before entering the water.

Who is the dryrobe® Advance for?

• Kitesurfers and wing foilers who session in cold UK conditions year-round
• Wild swimmers who need to change quickly and warm up faster
• Surfers, sailors, and SUP paddlers looking for a post-session essential
• Cyclists, triathletes, and outdoor athletes who train whatever the weather
• Anyone who spends time outdoors in British conditions and wants to stay warm and dry while changing
