The Best Waterproof Change Robes

Surfing·

Dryrobe Alternatives

Waterproof, fleece-lined change robes have become an essential accessory for outdoor enthusiasts, offering warmth and protection no matter the weather.

While Dryrobe pioneered this trend, several other brands now provide high-quality, affordable alternatives that deliver similar benefits.

Here's a look at some of the best options available, starting with the iconic Dryrobe.

Dryrobe

As the original waterproof change robe, Dryrobe sets the standard for outdoor gear.

It features a lightweight fleece lining and a durable, waterproof outer shell.

Designed for convenience, it includes plenty of functional pockets and folds down compactly for easy transportation.

Dryrobe remains a favourite for its exceptional performance and premium build.

Nyord

Nyord's waterproof change robe is a strong contender for those seeking a sustainable and feature-rich alternative.

Crafted with a recycled PrimaLoft lining, it ensures maximum warmth and comfort.

The roomy design allows for easy changing, while deep fleece-lined pockets and an adjustable hood provide added convenience.

Nyord offers premium functionality at a more accessible price point than some major brands.

Northcore

Northcore’s Beach Basha range delivers a practical and versatile solution for beachgoers.

Unlike traditional fleece linings, these robes feature a towelling interior, which can be completely detached from the waterproof shell.

This dual-purpose design allows the robe to double as a towel poncho during warmer months.

It's a smart, cost-effective option that doesn’t compromise on quality.

Voited

If sustainability is a priority, Voited ponchos are an excellent choice.

Made from recycled plastic bottles, they combine an eco-friendly design with practicality.

These robes feature a water-resistant outer shell and a quick-drying microfibre fleece lining.

They even pack down into a compact travel pillow, making them ideal for camping and on-the-go adventures.

Zone3 change robes offer versatility and flexibility to suit different activities and preferences.

They’re the perfect choice for those looking for a high-performance, affordable solution to staying comfortable in any weather.
