We are proud to announce that dryrobe® has joined forces with British Rowing, who share our passion of encouraging outdoor lifestyles that are inclusive and life-enhancing.


Rowing has a proud history as one of GB’s most continuously successful Olympic sports producing World, Olympic and Paralympic champions from across the UK.

According to Sport England’s Active Lives survey, over 639,600 people row, indoor or on-water, each month. British Rowing, as the governing body for the sport, is responsible for the development of rowing in England and the training and selection of rowers to represent Great Britain.

As part of the partnership, dryrobe® will supply custom dryrobe® Advance changing robes to senior Olympic and Paralympic athletes and to the new GB Beach Sprint team. Members of British Rowing will also benefit from an exclusive member discount on dryrobe® products.

dryrobe® are committed to supporting elite sports globally and we’re incredibly proud to partner with British Rowing in support of the team’s Olympic and Paralympic aspirations.

Built with performance at its core, the dryrobe® Advance has been designed to provide warmth quickly and improve recovery after getting out of cold water. The fast-drying lining enables athletes to train throughout the day without their recovery being compromized by a cold, damp change robe.
