SUNDRIED CHANGE ROBE

£130 Sundried’s changing robe comes in at a similar price point as many of the others in this test and has some great features. The fleece-lined inner feels lovely against the skin, though is perhaps not as luxurious as the the Zone3 and Dryrobe options. It soaks up moisture well and is warm, but we did experience some malting of fabric during testing. The front zip isn’t as long as we’d have liked, either, meaning chilly air can occasionally sneak in and a modesty mishap may be on the cards. Meanwhile, the outer is both water- and wind-repellent. There’s a selection of handy pockets, including two fleecelined, zipped ones on the outer, one zipped pocket inside and an internal stash pocket, giving lots of storage options. While we like that the two-way zip can be used from inside or out, it isn’t the smoothest to operate. A reflective logo and adjustable cuffs are welcome additions. sundried.com

LOTS OF GREAT FEATURES, BUT NOT QUITE THE COMPLETE PACKAGE
