We can all agree there’s nothing worse than trying to peel on clothes after taking a dip, just for the purpose of covering up before going home for a hot shower anyway. Fortunately for us all, Dryrobe has found that gap in the market and served a seriously cosy piece of kit, a must-have coat quickly becoming the ‘best friend’ for outdoor enthusiasts.

Adopting both practicality and style, you can opt for designs ranging from plain black to a fun, pink-lined camo, the Dryrobe is perfect for anyone who’s active or a fan of exploring the great outdoors. Slip-on post-surf, before and after a spot of wild swimming, or simply wear on your way back from your local pool or lido to save having to shower and change in sub-par conditions.

The Dryrobe dries you in an instant with the insulating and moisture-wicking inner fleece lining so your skin can return to its natural warmth for the trek back home. Plus, with its oversized nature, you can even use it to change in – how smart is that?

Not into watersports? The Dryrobe is also a favourite for those who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground, thanks to the supreme warmth and waterproof coating that’ll keep you dry no matter what - perfect for dog-walking, popping to the shops, or wearing on your daily stroll.

Rita Ora and Harry Styles were also spotted wearing their Dryrobes on their respective film sets, whilst Keri-anne Payne, two-time Open Water 10k World Champion, and Lucy Campbell, British Women’s Surfing Champion, are keen advocates and ambassadors of the brand, wearing theirs for training.
