“I swim cold every morning in canals of Amsterdam and use it daily. I’m am not 100% satisfied with the intern. It does not absorb the water enough and so keeps me wet.”
Hi there,
Thank you for your review of the Changing Robe in Blue! We’re glad to hear that you are putting it to good use during your morning swims in Amsterdam.

Thanks again for reaching out, and we hope your future swims are even more enjoyable!
“Love it. It feels like a weighted blanket. Helps me feel grounded. The only small critique is that the hood catches a lot of wind when biking. It becomes like a mini windtunnel. And maybe add the option for a smaller coat.”
“Robe is excellent quality and super warm. I walk everywhere and needed a long waterproof coat to protect me from the elements, which this robe certainly does. A couple of areas for improvement, however. Firstly, at 5ft 7, the robe reaches to my knees. Personally, I would have liked it to be a little longer, so I could wear with wellies with full coverage of the lower body. Secondly, although I am not a swimmer, there is no way that I would have room to change under the robe (I am a curvy size 14, with narrow shoulders and long body). It is very easy to slip your arms inside the robe (in fact, the arm width is perhaps a little too generous) but not enough width (for me) inside the robe to change clothing, except by opening the zip at the bottom, which rather defeats the purpose of keeping toasty warm after a cold water swim or water sport. Finally, a metal zip would have been preferable to the white plastic zip. I realise that plastic may have been deliberately chosen to avoid corrosion from salt water, in which case a grey plastic zip to match with the interior of the robe (or a blue one to match the exterior) would have been preferable. These are, however, minor gripes. All in all, it's a great robe for cold, wet weather, has a beautiful design and I love that it is made from recycled fabrics by an ethical female-oriented company. I only wish I'd waited a couple of weeks, though, as the robe is now on sale! Grab it while you can, ladies - it's a bargain!”
