Lovely stuff.
Aren’t they just a material version of ponchos that are given out at football matches?
FWIW , last week at my kids football game in Pouring rain a few were wearing them and I was quite envious.
People who wear these need shooting
They are not a fashion item , bro :hehe:Quote:

Just a modern day fashion trend, akin to Pack a Mack’sQuote:

They're becoming popular in places other than the beach. Wearing them is the modern day equivalent of wearing pyjamas to Tesco.Quote:

Myself and the girls have GUL ones from maybe 10 years ago ( though the youngest is way too small now ) got them from Anns cottage on Polzeath beach
they work very well, get out the sea, pull down your top 1/2 of your wetsuit and sling it on, lovely and toasty
Dryrobe made a big push in the market, maybe 6 - 7 year ago in the club swimming scene, they were selling them cheap as chips at big swim meets, they also work well for that, get out the pool after a race, put your dry robe on, 5 mins, you are dry and take it off, thought the plain towelling robes imho are better for that
I also got us ( the football team I coach ) 2 cheap ones from Primark for our subs for when its raining, the girls love them in that aspect ( though a few now have dryrobe branded ones, but they are the same type who now bring drinks in a " Stanley Quencher " but that will be another rant for a few I guess )
Though saying all of the above, we only use them if surfing or SUP'ing, though I can see the attraction of them being used as day to day coats, they are warm, they are waterproof , trouble is, they look like you should be getting changed in them down the beach, but better than being cold and wet I guess, fashion is a strange thing, one day you must have it, the next you are being mocked for it
The last paragraph is spot on, why should anyone else care what someone else wears.Quote:
