HUUB CHANGE ROBE

£149.99 The first changing robe release from Huub, this will be one for triathletes who want to show off their tri credentials when heading to openwater. That aside, the features here are similar to those found in the Dryrobe with long sleeves with Velcro adjuster, two zipped outer pockets, an inner waterproof pocket and ‘stuff’ pocket, and a cosy Sherpa lining. We like the large hoop zipper pulls, which are easy to operate with cold hands, and the robe offers a similar weighty feel and cosy fleece lining to the Dryrobe. Where they differ is in Dryrobe’s use of 100% recycled materials, while HUUB doesn’t list any eco-credentials in association with this robe which is a shame. If colour is important to you as well, Huub only offers two fairly staid colour schemes (back/blue and navy/red). You do save a tenner over the Dryrobe though, so it depends what you think is worth the spend! huubdesign.com
