COUCON GUIDE
Why People Wear Changing Robes as Coats
Changing robes started as practical kit for swimmers and surfers. Now you'll see them on beaches, dog walks, at outdoor events and anywhere the weather turns cold and wet.
FIND OUT WHY
MORE THAN A CHANGING ROBE
So Why Wear a changing robe as a Coat?
Changing robes have moved beyond beaches and cold water swimming. Their warmth, oversized fit and weather protection also make them useful as an everyday outdoor layer.
In unpredictable weather, you can throw one on before or after an activity and stay warm and covered without needing to change into another coat.
01
Warmth
A soft insulated lining provides extra comfort in colder conditions.
02
Weather Protection
A waterproof outer helps protect you from wet and windy weather.
03
Comfort
The roomy oversized fit gives you plenty of space to move and layer up.
04
Versatility
Wear one swimming, surfing, walking, camping or simply spending time outdoors.
01 — PROTECTION FROM THE COLD
Warmth When You Need It Most
One of the main reasons people wear changing robes as coats is the protection they provide in cold weather.
After a cold sea or lake swim, pulling on a changing robe gives you immediate coverage. The soft lining helps provide warmth, while the outer layer helps protect you from wind and wet weather.
That same combination can be useful away from the water too, whether you're walking the dog or spending a long day outside.

02 — COMFORT & COVERAGE
Roomy Enough to Change. Comfortable Enough to Wear.
A changing robe is deliberately oversized so you have enough room to bring your arms inside and change out of wet swimwear.
That generous fit also makes it comfortable as an outdoor layer. There's room underneath for clothing, while the lining provides a soft barrier between you and colder conditions.
For swimmers, the roomy design also gives you privacy when changing at the beach, lake or another outdoor location.
WHY IT WORKS
One Garment. Several Jobs.
01
Warm Lining
Provides warmth and comfort when you step out of cold water or spend time outside.
02
Waterproof Outer
Helps protect you from rain and wet outdoor conditions.
03
Oversized Fit
Provides space for changing underneath and room for layers.
04
Outdoor Ready
Useful well beyond swimming, from watersports to everyday outdoor activities.
03 — OUTDOOR SWIMMING
From Cold Water to Warm & Covered
For outdoor swimmers, a changing robe makes the transition from water to dry clothes much more comfortable.
Step out of the sea or lake, pull your robe on and use the oversized space to change out of wet swimwear while staying covered from the weather.
BEYOND SWIMMING
Why Changing Robes Became Everyday Outdoor Coats
Their combination of warmth, weather protection and an oversized fit makes changing robes useful across a much wider range of outdoor activities.
01
Surfing & Watersports
Pull your robe on after a session, get out of your wetsuit underneath and stay covered from the wind while you change.
02
Dog Walking
A practical outer layer for wet, windy and colder walks when you want plenty of coverage.
03
Family Days Out
Useful for beach trips, lakes, outdoor events and days when the weather can change quickly.
04
Camping
Throw one over your clothes when temperatures drop around the campsite or the weather turns wet.
05
Outdoor Sports
Stay covered and comfortable while waiting around before or after outdoor training and events.
06
Beach Days
Use it for changing, warming up after the water or as an extra layer when the coastal weather changes.
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
