To start with some context!
Rather niche a few years ago, changing robes can be found everywhere across the Channel and their use has become widespread. Versatile and mega stylish equipment, we now find them in urban territory and outdoors.
Originally, surfers have been using it for more than 10 years: to change on the beach and stay warm afterwards: take off your wet swimsuit or wetsuit and enjoy post-surfing in a cool, practical style.
Changing robes have been designed with two different materials: on the outside it is a material with a membrane which protects from wind, rain and is super resistant to the elements. Inside, it is a very soft sherpa which allows you to dry and stay warm. The parkas are oversized, very generous in size - to allow absolute comfort and also to pass your arms through to get changed. Lined pocket, giant hood, easy zip: the little extras of a good parka.
Yes, essential for surfers - but swimmers use it a lot too, especially with the rise of open water and cold water swimming. These parkas are so multi-use and inspiring that now, we find them everywhere: before and after a race / triathlon, spectator of the kids' football match, in town to protect yourself from hail, rain, or perfect for after ski. It checks all the right boxes.
Changing robe will also become essential in France too!
