As someone who frequently goes open water swimming, I know the importance of having a reliable changing robe. Not only do they provide a sense of privacy and modesty, but they also make it easier to change in and out of your swimming gear without flashing your bits to the world.
So, what makes for the best kind of towel changing robe? Here are a few key factors to consider:
Material: The material of your changing robe should be comfortable and absorbent. Look for a robe made of a soft, absorbent fabric like cotton or microfiber. Avoid materials that are too thick or heavy, as they may be uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time and become too heavy when wet.
Size and fit: Make sure to choose a towelling changing robe with enough space to allow for easy movement, but not so large that it feels cumbersome. Consider the length of the robe as well – you don't want one that is too short that your legs are cold or too long that you trip over it.
Functionality: Look for a changing robe that has convenient features like pockets for storing your phone and keys, or a hot water bottle, a large enough hood for extra warmth and helping to dry your hair. And side access holes to make changing much easier.
Durability: Choose a changing robe that is well-constructed and made to last. Look for strong, double-stitched seams and high-quality materials. The retail price is likely a good indicator of quality.
Style: While function should be the primary consideration when choosing a changing robe, you may also want to think about style. Considering length, arms, colour, neck shape, pockets etc
Overall, the best kind of changing robe is one that is comfortable, functional, and durable. With these factors in mind, you can find the perfect robe to suit your needs.
