It used to be that waterproof changing robes had an obvious job: to help you get you dry, stay warm, and give you changing privacy post-session. However, we’ve noticed an evolution in the changing robe space where people are now starting to make use of them in a huge variety of different ways, often replacing the function of coats or jackets as high-performance alternatives.
With our EVO Pro Change Robe, we’ve taken everything people love about traditional changing robes and elevated it into something more versatile to suit all sorts of activities. With 15k waterproof protection, 8k breathability, a plush Sherpa fleece lining, and a tailored, lightweight feel, it’s a piece of high-performance gear that can be used pretty much anywhere. Here are five unexpected ways people are now using their waterproof changing robes, and why the EVO Pro is perfectly built for them.
Film sets don’t stop for the weather. Whether it’s wind, rain, or long hours standing around between takes, production crews need gear that keeps them warm without restricting movement. That’s where waterproof changing robes like the EVO Pro step in. A dry changing robe can be relied on to keep rain and wind out for a long period of time, while the breathable membrane prevents you from becoming uncomfortable on a long shoot. Add in multiple practical pockets for carrying essentials, and side stretch panels that mean you can move freely, and you’ve got a fantastic protective garment that assists massively on set.
Sometimes, getting wet and cold is part of the job for players in most sports, but the same doesn’t go for supporters from the sidelines. If you want to keep warm and dry in the face of rubbish weather, there’s no better way than getting yourself a dry changing robe. The EVO Pro’s deep-pile Sherpa fleece lining traps heat and wicks moisture, keeping you cosy, warm and dry for hours, even when you’re standing still in a downpour. The peaked hood and wind-baffled zip block out biting winds, while fleece-lined handwarmer pockets give you instant relief on cold mornings. It’s a tough, wearable shelter, perfect for long match days.
The EVO Pro’s 15k waterproof rating means you stay completely dry on a dog walk, even in heavy downpours, while the quick-drying recycled outer fabric keeps things practical for daily use. Throw in the roomy fit for layering, and these waterproof changing robes become a fantastic alternative to a coat for unpredictable weather, allowing you to keep up your dog walking regimen unimpeded.
It might seem a bit odd to be using such high-end gear for menial activities, but when you get to thinking about it, why wouldn’t you? Wearing a changing dry changing robe is no different from a coat, and it works well. The EVO Pro has a clean, premium look with a matte finish and improved tailoring, meaning it doesn’t feel bulky or overly technical, nor does it stand out as an odd choice of top layer. It’s warm, weatherproof, and effortlessly practical.
On UK beaches, where things can get quite damp and windy at the drop of a hat, the EVO Pro waterproof changing robes work as a windbreaker, towel alternative, and insulation layer all in one. The quick-drying interior and moisture-wicking lining mean it handles sea spray, damp air, and sandy conditions with ease.
As you can see, the EVO Pro has plenty of great uses that you might not have considered. If you want to learn more about the top-quality waterproof changing robes, you can always get in contact with us. The Red team is always very happy to help out.
