Hi Rachel, I can’t decide which I love more, the lunge test or that incredible circular brick building behind you overlooking the water. What a great place to film!!! I just wish changing robes were available in 🇨🇦. Your reviews are very thorough. When the day comes that I do find one to purchase, I’ll certainly know what features to look for. Thanks, and keep on lunging, my friend!! Ⓜary💦🏊‍♀

Hey Mary, glad you enjoyed the video. The circular building is Calshot Castle www.hants.gov.uk/thingstodo/outdoorcentres/ourcentres/calshot/visit/calshot-castle If I swim around Calshot Spit I swoosh past it as the tide gives me a lift westwards. Hope you’ve managed to get in the water for a quick dip. Rach x

Great review as always. You’ve not posted a video for a while Rachel. I’m hoping you are ok? Hugs 🤗

Still having problems with my back and fatigue so having to go steady. Have started filming my next vid, so shouldn’t be too long. Thanks for asking x

Very interesting, I have a Gorilla Robe which is great but it’s a pull over your head type and I sometimes wish I had bought a front zip fastening one. The one good thing that I love about mine is that it has a huge pocket at the front that you can put a hot water bottle inside in the winter!

The Gorilla Robe is one of my favourites for the no-nonsense on over the head and the side zips which are great if you’re changing in or out of a wetsuit.

Yes the side zips are a great addition- extra lunge room!!😂

Thanks for watching Chris. It’s a super change robe and good value too.

Great idea demonstrating which robes fit in a tow float. For me, I worry about my DryRobe getting knicked if I leave it on the beach. Really no way to keep an eye on your kit when you’re swimming. And these things ain’t cheap.

There are really big tow floats nowadays - Zone 3 do a whopper. I never leave kit to get peed on or nicked!

Great video, very helpful and interesting about the ION robe You also made me laugh with your sense of humour. Thank you x

Thanks for watching Sally, glad it was interesting. I think quite a few companies have jumped on the changing robe bandwagon but not all of them are thinking about the end user!

@EverydayAthleteRach I have a Robie, very good. Soft lining. Big pockets and good zipper.

Thanks Rachel. Plenty of choice. Rachel any idea how to repair a Tow Float. Tried different glues but no luck.

I don't know, but off the top of my head a puncture repair kit or Black Witch might do the job. When mine have broken, it is usually at a point where neither of those options will help. Let me know if you come up with anything. Rach

Thanks Rachel, this was interesting, I currently have a Gorilla Robe which is great but it’s a pull over the head one and I sometimes wish it had a zip up the middle! Due to cost I will be hanging onto it for a while as other than that it’s a pretty good robe, it even has a large front pocket for a hot water bottle !

Can you do a second video with you sitting in them. You get out of water tired so you sit down and the robes pull right up to your ass and you sitting on cold plastic. And your legs stick out too. This is not just a length issue but a design flaw imo. But mabye other brands are better?

Good shout Gerry. Next time I’ll incorporate a sit test. All of these were pretty long so would probably have passed the cold bum measure.
