Active-Flex Changing Robe

WHO IT'S FOR 

You swim outdoors often and in most weather, and you want a warm robe you reach for every time rather than one saved for the worst days. You need somewhere to change at the water's edge, then something you are happy to keep wearing on the walk back, the drive home or the café stop. 

• Regular open water and sea swimming 
• Changing at the lake, the beach or the poolside 
• Staying warm between swims and at events 
• Everyday wear on cool, damp days 

WHERE IT SITS IN THE RANGE 

The Active-Flex sits between Zone3's other two robes. Step up to the Thermo-Tech Changing Robe for a fully waterproof shell, a storm flap and wrist closures in heavy rain, or choose the Microfibre Changing Robe if you want something lighter that packs smaller for drying off in milder weather. 

KEY BENEFITS 

1. You warm up quickly after a swim. A soft Sherpa fleece lining in recycled polyester traps heat and wicks moisture away from damp skin, so the robe starts working as soon as it goes on. 

2. Showers and wind stay off. The water-resistant recycled polyester shell keeps light rain and wind out, and because it breathes, warmth builds up inside without the damp. 

3. There is room to get changed underneath. The Active-Flex has more room in the body than the tapered Thermo-Tech and finishes below the knee, so you can get out of a wetsuit and into dry clothes under cover. 

4. The hood holds in the wind. An adjustable hood with drawstrings pulls in around your face, so it stays up when the weather is working against you. 

5. Cold hands and loose kit have a home. Front and internal pockets keep your hands warm and your keys and phone secure. 

WHAT YOU'LL FEEL 

The fleece is soft and warm against cold skin the moment you pull the robe on. You have space inside to wriggle out of a wetsuit without fighting the fabric, and the hood cuts the wind while you do it. Once you are dressed it feels more like a coat than a towel, which is why you keep it on for the walk back.
