Dryrobe – Ultimate Camping Accessory

The ultimate camping accessory? For me, it has to be a Dryrobe. If you haven’t heard of them before, it’s basically a waterproof dressing gown – in a nutshell – or at least that’s how I like to think of it. Except it’s so much more than that! A Dryrobe is a warm changing robe, stylish accessory and a outdoor enthusiast’s best friend. Perfect for all sorts of outdoor activities, watersports and more, this is absolutely one of the best accessories I own and I’d buy another in a heartbeat. Since I got mine last year it has come away with us on every campervan trip, as well as a couple of holidays to Cornwall.

I have the short sleeve advance robe – and as you can see, the sleeves are still pretty long! This Dryrobe comes in at £120, but it is absolutely worth the investment – and, in my opinion, there’s no need to spend more money on the long sleeve version as the sleeves are already quite long on this one.

My favourite ways to use my Dryrobe are:

• Snuggly layer for chilly evenings
• Waterproof warm dressing gown for running to the toilets in the rain
• Changing robe (just tuck your arms inside and there’s plenty of room!)
• Shower trips
• Cosy layer for beach trips

Now, using it for shower trips is my personal favourite way to use my Dryrobe, and the thing that has made the Dryrobe so incredibly useful on our camping trips!

Showering in a camping environment is never very fun, and certainly isn’t glamorous – but it can be made a little better with this trick.

Gone are the days of stuffing a carrier bag with shampoo, shower gel, clothes to change into and a towel – now all I do is pop my shampoo and shower gel into the pockets of my Dryrobe (they’re massive), strip off completely and zip up the Dryrobe all the way. Then I just grab my towel and walk rather smugly to the shower block.

Easy, right? The Dryrobe is so long and full-coverage that no one would know you’re in the nude underneath, and it eliminates the horrible post-shower wet-skin getting-dressed fiasco. So much better.

I have also bought the Dryrobe seat cover for my car, which is perfect for cold mornings or if you’re getting in the car slightly damp – and their grey beanie is a favourite of mine!

If you regularly take part in outdoor activities like watersports, camping, sailing, swimming, mountain biking or anything else remotely chilly or wet – you need a Dryrobe! I’m so pleased with mine, and I can see myself expanding my collection in the future. It would make a great present for a loved one – or a great present to give yourself!
