Shoppers are racing to snap up this ‘fabulous and warm’ waterproof changing robe ahead of the next bout of rainy weather, as it’s slashed by more than £70 for a limited time
We’re still trudging towards the end of January, and with plenty of freezing temperatures and rain on the horizon there’s still more than enough time to get plenty of use out of your winter coat. If you’re in the market for a new one, plenty of people have been swapping a traditional coat in favour of a changing robe, which are renowned for being cosy, warm and – most importantly – waterproof.
One we’ve spotted that’s an absolute bargain at the moment is Regatta’s Adult Waterproof Changing Robe which has just been slashed from £129 to just £48. The coat is proving so popular at the moment that the Regatta website says it’s been purchased more than 900 times in the last 24 hours, making it a hot pick to get before it sells out.

As well as being snapped up left and right, the Waterproof Changing Robe is the perfect pick for winter thanks to its oversized, roomy fit and cosy fleece lining which helps keep you bundled up against the cold. It’s also fully windproof and waterproof, with taped seams and a Hydrafort 5000 fabric.
The Waterproof Changing Robe was designed to be spacious enough to allow you to comfortably change from wet clothes into dry ones no matter where you are. It’s long and roomy fit means you can whip off soggy jeans and jumpers after a walk, or change out of wetsuits or swimming gear whilst on the beach.
Although they’re ultra practical for getting changed under, they’ve also become many people’s default weatherproof for wearing no matter what you’re doing. From hiking and walking the dog to standing on the sidelines of your little ones’ sports games, many people are now picking these changing robes over a regular coat.
Other great options for similar styles include the Escapism Recycled Sherpa Lined Changing Robe which is down from £99.95 to £69.97, and the Adult Long Sleeve Poncho from Speedo which is now £49.50 down from £99. If you’re looking for a celeb-approved version, Delta Roam’s £155 Beaumont Robe is a favourite amongst stars like Davina McCall and Jodie Kidd.
However the Waterproof Changing Robe from Regatta is available in a huge 18 different colourways, with unisex sizing that spans XS/S up to L/XL. Different colourways are priced differently, with some on sale for £60 rather than the lower £48.
The Waterproof Changing Robe has also gotten great reviews from fans. One called it a “Fabulous & Warm Robe” and added: “This robe has been brought for sea swimming and to keep me warm at football training while standing on the sidelines! It’s perfect I am 5ft 6 and I am usually a 14 and I have S/M which has plenty of room. It snowed the other day lightly and I had to walk to work and I decided to wear it and I was dry and cosy when I arrived at work. Brilliant and the camouflage one is so nice.”
Another said: “Purchased to wear at my sons rugby as I needed a long warm waterproof coat that: A-went past my knees. B-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 winters evening dog walk too! If you’re using it as a changing robe then you will have loads of room.”
Most of the complaints about the Waterproof Changing Robe were about the size of the hood, with one saying: “The hood is too small in my opinion as it doesn’t come far enough forward. I would have preferred the neckline at the front to come further up when zipped to the top.”
Another said: “Ordered 2 1 for me and 1 for my partner they are very oversized so size down. The hood is a little small and doesn’t stay up which is a shame but very warm and lightweight not as thick as a dry robe.”
