KIT ZONE: CHANGE ROBE LONG SLEEVE

£135 Feature-packed robe with eco credentials

We were pleased to see this robe comes with an included 'stuff sack' which was welcome, as this is one of the bulkier robes on the market (although our sample is a size large and this tester would have fit into the medium). We can't use that as a negative, though, as that bulk is made up of a waterproof outer shell lined with the softest, snuggliest sherpa fleece that may ever have graced our body. All those materials are eco-friendly, too, as each robe is made from 90 plastic bottles or 2.5kg of ghost fishing nets.

The details really impress here, too. Pockets are both zippy, have a Velcro flap over them and are fleece-lined for hand warmth. An inner zipped pocket is useful for valuables, while cuffs have a Velcro strap, which is handy for keeping the long sleeves secured if you need to use your hands, while when let out there's plenty of room for changing.
