Great thoughtfully designed but with some flaws!
I have had the robe for a couple of weeks and in general it is superb but I have a couple of small issues and wishes for the next variant. The robe is really waterproof, which has been proved recently! I have used it for both changing and walking the dog. It is superbly designed and very comfortable and really fulfils the job of two garments, so in my mind is worth the money. It is also light compared to other robes but still warm.
My only issue is the length. I am 5'11" and bought the XL version, which is designed for people up to 6'3". It however comes to my lower thigh. This means, even with boots, my trousers get wet between the thigh and knee. It also means that it is a little short for changing (a little revealing when bending over!).
The expandable sides are fantastic when changing and a superb idea, as it looks like a coat when walking and a robe when changing. I would like to see for future versions a double zip and vent, so when walking and changing there is a little airflow under the arms.
I would also like a chunkier zip and poppers, as when your hands are cold and changing these are a little fiddly, where they are small.
The hood is excellent, nice and big and adjustable. The waist clinch is a nice touch as well.
If it was a little longer, I would have given it 5 stars!
