Purchased a towel/changing robe for my partner. She really likes the colours, softness of the robe and the zipped compartment for valuables (which other brands don’t appear to have). She uses it for swimming, and reports that the absorbency is good. The only difficulties she has encountered has been struggling to change her top half under the robe (despite having the largest size there just wasn’t much room to move about) and the fact it takes awhile to dry. The robe also had a strong chemical smell when it first arrived. It’s only been used a few times so far so unable to comment on the long term use of the robe, but so far so good.
