Red Original Unisex Pro Change Robe EVO, Long Sleeve Outdoor Changing Robe

Product Information

Stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons with our refined Kids Pro Robe in tomato red – providing your youngster with unparalleled protection against the elements. As with most sports items, much comes down to personal preference and intended use; a heavyweight robe suited to winter swimming might be overkill for a fair-weather runner seeking finish-line warmth on a dry summer’s day. A blustery November day by the river at Farleigh Hungerford swimming club saw Kate Rew, Rosie Nottage and Arron Collins-Thomas test a selection of eco-friendly robes. We selected robes which are readily available in the UK, have solid environmentally friendly credentials and were sent in to our testers. We included our own Red, Fourth Element and dryrobes which showed how older products perform.

Weather-proof on the outside, roomy on the inside and usually featuring a warm, fleecy lining, the changing robe emerged more than a decade ago to keep surfers warm and sheltered from the elements while they changed out of their swimsuits and wetsuits. Intentionally oversized, their spacious design creates a portable changing room for the wearer, allowing them to slip their arms out of the robe sleeves and discreetly remove wet kit from within it – all while staying cosy and protected from the wind and rain. Try to spot-wash the Kids Dry Pro Robe unless it’s really filthy. As with all DWR-treated fabrics, the more you wash the less treatment the garment is exposed to, so as a general rule try to minimise thorough washes to times when it’s absolutely necessary.Windy days won’t prove a problem thanks to toggles on the hood and a cleverly-engineered Velcro- baffle on the YKK-central zip – great for when cold fingers call for an easy-close solution. Circuit Judges, in accordance with their wish, continue to wear the same gown and tippet less the wig, wing collar and bands. From 1 October 2008, High Court Judges adopted a single set of red robes for criminal proceedings throughout the year, rather than different sets of robes for summer and winter. Apart from this there was no change to court dress worn by judges when sitting in criminal proceedings. Civil and Family jurisdiction – The new civil robe 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. People use their robes in all sorts of ways, so all of them are best for something – style, economy, compactness, skin feel, size available or coming in the particular colour you want.

Laundry detergent is designed to break down grease and oils, and with the DWR coating looking a lot like grease to detergents, we only recommend doing this every 3 – 6 months depending on how much wear the robe has had. When you do wash your robe, you should do so at no more than 30 degrees C with a slow spin cycle. After the first 4-5 full washes you’ll need to boost the DWR with a special outdoor kit washing liquid (Grainger’s/ Nikwax or similar) at no more than 30 degrees C, again with a slow spin cycle.

Each dancer’s face is painted a deathly-pale white with rosy cheeks and red lips. “It gave us the means to have these really expressional faces,” Doug says, “and obviously when you put people in those masks their faces become something else. I was looking through the photos afterwards, and you can relate them all to different archetypes or classical Greek characters.” The design favoured by a judicial working group incorporated coloured bands to identify seniority. The chosen colours were: Court of Appeal and High Court Judges no longer wear wigs, wing collars and bands when sitting in open court in civil and family proceedings; the new civil robe is worn.

Finisterre takes sustainability seriously: the Tego is made from a recycled nylon outer material and 100% recycled fleece inner. It uses fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellents), and it arrived in a water-soluble, ocean-safe, biodegradable bag designed to break down into non-toxic biomass. SUSTAINABILITY: Charlie McLeod scores very highly on the eco-credentials. With an outer made of 100% recycled and inner 95% recycled PET plastic (GRS certified) – approximately 110 recycled plastic bottles go into every cloak.

Dryrobe’s pioneering changing robes were originally designed for founder Gideon Bright to use after surfing, but more than a decade later, they’ve saved the bacon of many a hyperthermic obstacle course racer and are loved by outdoor enthusiasts and cold-water swimmers alike (including Ross Edgley, who wore one during his Great British Swim challenge). Kids are well protected thanks to its technical 8k/3k waterproof PVC-free DWR fabric which has been designed to provide excellent water run-off on days when the rain and surf roll in. A more winter-suited option from the Devon-based company above, this is probably the best Dryrobe alternative we’ve tested – importantly, at a slightly more wallet-friendly price.

Short-sleeve or ¾ sleeve robes allow greater arm movement (helpful when removing a wetsuit, for example) and are better for milder days, but if you want your robe for the coldest, wettest weather and require max warmth, longer sleeves offer greater coverage and protection.
