Microfiber Changing Robe

Don't usually write a review but I bought this for my daughter who is a competitive swimmer to wear after practices and in between her swim events in the summer. It keeps her protected from the sun while drying her, thin and light but with good absorbsion, comfortable, the lose fitting gives her air circulation to keep her cool inside. Fashionable, while keeping her decent, good quality, and without the wet towel and chlorine smell. I saw her team mate asked her about it.

Perfect for privacy for my son when he changes in the locker room.

I ordered this for myself but my husband has "commandeered" it. He is 6'2 and 240 pounds and it fits him well. We travel all over the world and scuba dive. This is perfect to wear after diving when we need to get our wet gear of and be comfortable on the way back in the boat after a long day of diving. He also wears it at home after a shower while shaving and getting ready for work. Guess I will have to order one for me (again)!

not a real towel but some how it does absorb water i guess good for changing clothes in public i wanted a real towel one Microfiber is not that great in my eyes i guess im old fashion

Use this for privacy when i strip down to put my wetsuit on. Wish I had one 20 years ago

I bought this because I use a robe after I shower because I don’t like towels. But I figured it would do double duty when I went on a beach/snorkeling trip. I throw it on after getting out of the water so I’m not dripping water everywhere. I also wear it to the buffet so I’m not going in with just a swimsuit. I also throw it on if the wind is blowing and I get a little chilly or when I want to nap and don’t want my body exposed. It also works well if you’ve gone on a water taxi or snorkeling excursion and you don’t want to die of hypothermia with the wind from the boat. I’m the only one in the West Bay of Roatan with one. Our driver said it was Mexican style, and I knew that, but I don’t think they see ponchos here often. There is no surfing here because of the barrier reef, but lots of diving and snorkeling. So my fear of looking like a surfer bum was unfounded. Anyway, if you lay it flat or hang it up, it will dry very quickly. There is room to change your clothes if you need to, but I am a smaller person. I can’t say how comfortable it would be to try to change if you were taller or bigger around the middle. It is very soft and easy to get sand off of with just a shake. I will say that I’ve had to ‘shower wash’ it twice for a 10 day trip because it has picked up a strange odor. Not funky, but not fresh. Maybe it’s the sea water? My poncho is light blue all around with no ombré as pictured. I don’t care as it does its job very well.

Light and easy to carry, dries almost instantly. Large size, so good body coverage, perfect for changing after a lake swim.

Advantages - compact, light, dries quickly, won't get rank in the trunk as easily as terry cloth/cotton robe. Stays cleaner. Not as hot. Disadvantages - not as good for a beach/bath towel for drying off or lying on in sun. Easier to lose balance or rip it when changing. I purchased this as a summer alternative to my soft, thick terry-cloth robe. It dries quickly and is surprisingly effective for drying off while wearing it, but it doesn't "give" or slide easily when putting it on, taking it off, or maneuvering to change clothes. I could hear the seams pulling with first use. OK for guys, but gals will have difficulty putting on a pull-over (t-shirt) before removing the robe. Seller states the length is 44". (True.) However, that's a foot shorter (and width is 4" less) than my current robe, and accidental exposures are more likely. (I'm 6'.) Again, it's unforgiving with changing maneuvers. A head-hole in the middle of a sheet works, too - without the style. Photo shows it on top of my 20 year-old "Vader" robe that is available in name only - not the same product as the original. ---- added P.S. : This is stylish and a nice generic blue color for anyone. One advantage I meant to mention is that it does not hold sand or water as a terrycloth robe would do, so your vehicle/backpack will stay cleaner and won't get that moldy smell. If it came in a larger size/length, I'd prefer it over my terrycloth robe - especially in the summer. My black terrycloth robe is hot (looks strange using in the summer), but it's great when getting out of the water on cold days. Be great to find one made out of cotton.

Ottimo per le attività al mare

Sind als Gepäckstück schon schwerer aber super. Nehmen die mit zum Tauchen. Man ist schnell trocken, die Tücher selber trocknen auch super schnell und halten ein bisschen warm. Gerade auf dem Boot ne gute Sache.

Très pratique pour se sécher après la douche au camping ou après une baignade à la plage, et ensuite se changer

Molto efficace al mare per cambiarsi discretamente e per proteggersi da vento e schizzi sulle imbarcazioni. Asciuga rapidamente.

Damn it I wish I read the bad comments. This is crap! What a waste of money. The listing says towel but it definitely isn't and doesn't dry anything. Worth up to $5
