About this deal

Voited is a brand I’ve only just come across recently. It’s quite a new business set up by Frank Voit, who has been the COO and General Manager at the likes of Billabong, Element, RVCA, Von Zipper and Neil Pryde Waterwear. Their outlook on creating products is all about being as practical as possible whilst finding ways to reduce the impact of manufacturing on the environment, with sustainable sourcing and production.

For example, a wetsuit requires a little more wiggling to get in and out of. Brands like Gorilla Robes have taken that into consideration, and they designed several extra zipper seams to make it easier to reach certain areas. I’ll be living in my Zone3 Parka Robe, it’s already been such a great investment for winter swimming. There are many reasons to use a changing robe, but chief among them is the convenience that comes with a hands-free option to help you transition between wet or dirty clothes and clean ones. SUSTAINABILITY: Cape Cove have strong eco-credentials across their range – and the Cape has an outer fabric of 86% and inner fabric of 54% recycled polyester, all GRS certified. With their pending B Corp certification, slow fashion ethic and free repairs pledge, they’re a strong new addition to the changing robe market. Choosing the right size is important with any garment, but especially so with one that you intend to use to help you change into and out of awkward items of clothing such as a wetsuit. Thankfully, Dryrobe has an interactive size guide that will ask you to plug in your vital statistics before recommending a size.Like the Vivida robe, Red have opted for a stretch fabric outer shell, which means the robe can be more fitted but is also super flexible to get changed in. The fabric is also breathable which helps with regulating your body temperature, and makes you feel less clammy if you ever decide to drive home in your robe.

Whether you are kayaking out on the ocean, paddleboarding, taking part in a triathlon, or training for other sports events, these robes will be useful.The outside shell of this recycled changing robe is made of two-layer DWR recycled Nylon, and the inside is made of 100% recycled fleece. This can be one of the more important factors to consider, especially if you intend to be outdoors in colder weather. For anyone living in more temperate climates, this might not be as essential, but it is always good to keep in mind whether you want something that can function as an insulated, warm changing space. The outer layer is also relatively lightweight and the ripstop material looks durable and feels hardwearing. This outer shell is also waterproof and windproof, protecting you from the elements in the cold winter months.

The main other shortcoming of the Dryrobe is that it’s a big bulky thing. Dryrobe has done a good job of keeping the weight down to around 1.3kg but, even still, the Dryrobe Advance will take up a considerable amount of room wherever you choose to store it. Indeed, it’s so large that unless you want to bring it in a large bag of its own, your best bet is to wear the Dryrobe whenever possible.

There will be no accidental or embarrassing slip-ups where you show off a little too much skin to strangers at the lake. Instead, you get a nice, insulated space that protects you from the elements while you strip and redress. Who Are They Good For? With a decent range of colours to choose from, if you want to try something different from a brand that is very sustainability-focused, then you won’t go wrong with trying a Voited Robe. You’ve probably heard of Red Paddle Co, the brand that really revolutionised the inflatable paddleboard market here in the UK. Along with high-end paddleboards, Red Paddle Co could very well claim the top spot as the best waterproof changing robe on the market.
