What's the best type of changing robe for outdoor swimmers? 

There is an art to changing before and after swimming. It’s something that needs to be practiced in order to look competent and avoid revealing parts that society deems inappropriate to display in public. In many cases, changing under a large towel, either wrapped underneath your armpits or around your waist is entirely satisfactory. It’s quick, easy, and doesn’t require any additional kit.

However, if you’re swimming outdoors frequently, then you might want an upgrade to something that offers a little more warmth and protection. Should you choose a towelling robe, a waterproof changing robe or even a sittingsuit?

Outdoor Swimmer magazine has given us an overview of the different types of changing robes as well as the pros and cons of each one. Read the review here to find out the best type of changing robe for your needs, or visit the Outdoor Swimmer Shop to browse the different brands on offer.
