From the school run to the seafront, oversized changing robes have taken outdoorsy shoppers by storm this winter with one brand serving up unisex style for more than 50% less than the designer Dryrobe.
Family-favourite Regatta is selling a seriously cool camo changing robe for just £71.95, complete with a shocking pink lining which looks every bit as good as the super trendy £179 Dryrobe version. With 40% off in the Regatta Winter Sale, you could be warm for less, whatever the season.
From wild swimming to a trip to Waitrose, the longer-length, waterproof robe from Regatta also comes in Blue and Pink colourways, but it is the £71.95 Cactus Camouflage Adult Changing Robe that shoppers are selling out online.

The Regatta Changing Robe has a unisex design (Regatta)The oversized jacket is large enough to let you slip out of your swimmers and into something dry without being spotted, and for urban fashionistas, it's a great way to cover up last night's pyjamas at the school gates or to pair with designer wellies on the heath. With full-length sleeves, waterproof outer fabric and a long zip closure that goes right up the chin, this oversized winter warmer is available in a choice of S/M or M/L sizes.
Offering all the benefits of a DryRobe without the hefty price tag, shoppers who have already snapped one up have been leaving positive reviews on the Regatta website, giving it an impressive 4.7/5 score.
One happy customer described it as an "Amazing robe, Amazing price".
They went on to say "Brilliant changing robe, a lot cheaper than most others I have seen on the market and not drastically different in quality. Having previously owned a DryRobe that got ripped, I was hesitant to spend another 100+ on another, so this was perfect for me, and the quality is not far off for the drastic price difference. I ordered an L-XL as I wanted it extremely oversized and it is exactly that."
The Camo Dryrobe costs a lot more than the Regatta version (Dryrobe)Another added "Purchased to wear at my son's rugby as I needed a long warm waterproof coat that: A-went past my knees. Could hold off the North Wales wind and rain. C-didnt cost £100+ and this fits the bill. Perfect I will add, it is like wearing a fluffy tent.
"I'm a curvy gal 16-18 and I can fit my son inside it with me. Great for a cold winter's evening dog walk too! If you're using it as a changing robe then you will have loads of room."
Some shoppers have also discovered that owning a Regatta Changing Robe comes with risks, as the comfort and warmth they provide are almost irresistible to family members. One shopper confirmed this, saying "It's absolutely brilliant. My only complaint is I bought it for myself, and I keep finding it on my daughter."
For younger outdoor enthusiasts Regatta also sells Junior Changing Robes from £41.95, as well as soft towelling changing robes that are perfect for summer days on the beach.
With an extra 30% off new season styles using the code 'NEW30' Regatta fans can still save money on warmer weather gear including changing robes in Leopard Print and Orla Kiely towelling robes.
