The Passenger Escapism Sherpa Lined Changing Robe is currently available with a 50% discount, reducing its price from £99.95 to £49.98 in the Rust orange and Windsor Wine red colourways. The robe is designed for post-swim changing and outdoor activities, featuring a fully lined sherpa fleece interior and a PFC-Free water-resistant coating.
Key Features and Design
Made from 100% recycled single-use plastic bottles, the robe comes in sizes XXS to XL. It includes two front pockets with hand-warming tricot lining and an internal velcro-sealed pocket for valuables. The oversized fit allows for easy changing underneath, though shoppers may consider sizing down for a snugger fit. The robe also packs into a neat bag for transport, though it requires a decent-sized bag.
Comparison with Alternatives
The robe's main competitor, the Dry Robe, retails at £175 and offers a waterproof outer and insulating fleece lining. A cheaper option is Regatta's Adult's Waterproof Changing Robe, currently on sale for £60. However, the Passenger robe has received a near-perfect 4.9-star rating from customers, with many praising its warmth, comfort, and durability.
Customer Feedback
One customer said: "This is the second one I’ve bought. The first was 3 years ago when I began mid-winter ocean swimming. That robe is still going strong." Another noted: "I bought the small. I am a size 12/14, and it is roomy enough to change under on the beach yet not too big to wear as a coat." A third added: "I discovered that it was very versatile and ideal for a cold, wet and windy camping holiday."
However, some users noted drawbacks: the hood lacks a drawstring, making it prone to being blown off in wind, and the open pockets can let rain in, wetting contents.
Availability and Pricing
The discounted colours are Rust orange and Windsor Wine red, while five other colours remain at full price. The robe is available from Passenger Clothing. The shopping writer, Eve Rowlands, recommends the robe for its cosiness and roomy fit, noting it dries quickly and is suitable for year-round use.
