Reviews

Dryrobe

"Wanted a dryrobe for playground and winter weather. Pleased with purchase. Keeps me warm and dry. Colour is fine and what I expected. Robe comes up big. I am size 16 and originally brought a medium which was huge so returned for a small. Only negative is that it’s quite short in the sleeve length. I’d like the sleeves a tad longer but overall a great buy."

Justine C. (5/5)

The dryrobe Advance Long Sleeve

"The dryrobe Advance Long Sleeve in Black and Grey is the gold standard for outdoor enthusiasts who need to stay warm and dry in harsh conditions. It excels in both functionality and durability, making it a worthwhile investment for swimmers, surfers, or campers."

Steve B. (5/5)

So so robe

"Nice robe but the zipper gets stuck and it’s not easy to zip up or down. Need to leave it in one position and step into the robe. It took forever to receive the robe so I didn’t bother to return or exchange. Just too difficult."

Melissa W. (2/5)

It's plenty thick and warm.

"It's plenty thick and warm. The zipper should be easier to work with. It should be bigger so it's easy to zip up. The 2 way is also a problem. If the zipper were just a standard one, it would be easier to zip up. Lining up the 2 parts, up and down, makes it difficult to line up and zip up. When your hands are cold after getting out of the water, dealing with a tricky zipper is not the best."

Richard Q. (4/5)

One happy 15yr old

"Bought this for a 15yr old teenager who's birthday was yesterday and plays a lot of rugby Once he saw what it was he smiled from ear to ear, so I reckon this present was a resounding success. He loved the inside pockets too."

Dog walking

"A really good buy, I bought this for my husband for walking the dog. He can wear anything underneath so he is warm and dry."

Lorraine V. (5/5)

It simply works

"Excellent piece of kit, purchased the Dryrobe for my wife because she’s always cold, now standing watching kids rugby, hockey and walking the dog isn’t always freezing, she’s dry and warm and I got my Buffalo back"

Tim V. (5/5)

Cuddly, warm and dry on

"Cuddly, warm and dry on cold wet days. Perfect for walking the dog! Brilliant. Wouldn’t be without it and well worth the money."

Claire B. (5/5)

Would definitely recommend. Being a

"Would definitely recommend. Being a pe teacher but also watching sports at the weekend in the winter it’s a life saver. I don’t wear any other coat. Dry robe is the way forward."

Hannah (5/5)

A little short in arms

"Although great quality, warm and waterproof, I find the arms a little on the short side, but otherwise the size is perfect"
