Designed to be adaptable enough to keep any athlete warm and dry, Dryrobe® Adapt is a truly unique garment, featuring an upper and lower half that zip together to protect you from the elements.

A detachable lower half allows the Dryrobe® Adapt to be worn as a ‘sleeping bag’ in colder climates, whilst the upper half can be used as a separate jacket on warmer days. The outer and inner linings are made with the same high-performance, 100% recycled fabrics, as the Dryrobe® Advance.

Please note, Dryrobe® Adapt is designed for use as a long coat rather than as a changing robe.

Materials & Technology

Built with high-performance, recycled fabrics, the Dryrobe® Adapt has been designed to warm you up quickly after getting out of cold water.

Unique fleece lining

The super-warm, synthetic lambswool lining is made with 100% recycled polyester (rPET), approved by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS) and certified OEKO-TEX Standard 100. This high-performance fleece is made from recycled post-consumer plastic.

Fast-drying back2skin™ technology

The unique composition of the fleece enables it to perfectly balance insulation with the ability to wick water away from the skin. In tests, the back2skin™ dry time of the Dryrobe® Advance is significantly faster than our leading competitors. Meaning you can get in and out of the water multiple times a day without it ever feeling damp.

Waterproof up to 25,000mm

The durable waterproof and windproof outer is made with 100% recycled nylon, approved by Global Recycle Standard (GRS). This breathable, shell fabric is made with pre-consumer recycled nylon that would otherwise be destined for landfill.

The seams are heat-sealed to ensure you’re protected against whatever the weather throws at you.

PFC-free waterproofing

The Dryrobe® Advance is finished with PFC-free BIONIC-FINISH ECO Durable Water-Repellent (DWR). This technology repels water, causing it to bead on the surface, meaning it rolls off rather than soaking into the fabric.

This plant-based solution doesn't contain any harmful compounds, delivering high-performance weather resistance and reduces the amount of toxic and harmful chemicals leached into the environment.

Breathable to 8000 g/m2/d

Airflow is essential to the drying process. The Dryrobe® Advance allows sweat and moisture to be transported away from the body and out from the garment rapidly without compromising its warmth and waterproof qualities.

Reviews

If your a wheelchair user, this is a game changer!

"I’ve been using my Dry Robe for a few months now, and I can’t imagine life without it. I use it weekly for open water swimming, and now, during the season, for warmth between water skiing sessions. The long fit and ease of movement around the arms and pelvis work really well. The feature that allows separating the top and bottom and protects the wheelchair cushion from water damage is fantastic—no more wet bottoms or backs after water sports. Tip: Measure yourself carefully and remeasure! You’ll love it. I only wish it came in different colours."

Ashley P. (5/5)

"Honestly one of the best things for a wheelchair user. Both my sister and I use them when in our chairs and they keep you super toasty and dry! The team are absolutely amazing and always give the best service and advice!"

Isabelle (5/5)

A great prototype- with more research it will be perfect.

"I bought this for my son who is a full-time wheelchair user. Things I love- the overall idea, the way the top and bottom zip together, the warmth. Things that would make it even better- different sizes and colours, a zip rather than draw string on the bottom, or for the draw string to go tighter to stop cold air entering. an option of strap adaptation so that the straps can go under the coat and not on top- due to the bulkiness this then leaves too much room for the person inside reducing the support from the lap belt and 4-point chest harness, small holes in the seams on the shoulders and sides would allow for the straps to go inside. double zips on all sections would give more options for access to people with feeding tubes, stomas etc. Things I don't like- the grey inside, it looks like it's old and been through a washing machine and discoloured the white inside. Overall, it is a great idea, quality is good as expected of a Dryrobe but improvements could be made to make it more versatile and suitable for a larger range of wheelchair users."

Michelle W. (4/5)

Lovely, really warm and dry.

"I’d been searching for a while for something that would keep me both warm and dry whilst I was out walking my dog. I’d tried another adapted range but it wasn’t suitable for me. When I found this adapted range I was so pleased and excited to try it out. It really was what I’d been looking for, -warm but able to easily open if i should get warm -really dry and I didn’t get a puddle in my lap if it was raining at all - easy enough to get on (I found the easiest way was to get into my bed and roll on one side tuck it under me then roll into it). - it looks nice, I had so many people complement me whilst wearing it. - easy enough to remove whilst in me wheelchair. I’m so pleased with it and whilst it was a little expensive it’s very well made and I hope to get many winters use out of it. The only downside side is that it states that it can only be hans washed, thank goodness my machine has a handwashing cycle because there is so much of it that I’d never be able to wash it."

Excellent adaption of your product

"Excellent adaption of your product for disabled use. Warm , waterproof sizing accurate, on users who use slings and hoists waterproof fabric is slippy but we use ours without a sling. The ability to separate the coat section from the leg is also invaluable fabulous product just would like to see more colours now. Thank you for an inclusive product"

I bought the adapt for

"I bought the adapt for my husband who is a wheelchair user. After much research, and positive reviews I thought I’d give it a go. He’s very hard to please but surprisingly, he’s had nothing but positive comments! He no longer is cold on walks, it keeps him warm and dry down to his ankles. The price is a bit steep but knowing that it won’t go in the sale, and the thought and care put behind the adapt is worth every penny! I bought it for Christmas but if I had known…I would have asked for it to be VAT free but we are new to the disability world. I would highly recommend the adapt."

Q&A

Hi are the sleeves fleece lined or with a more coat like lining? My husband has non functioning arm so struggles to get sleeves on and need a slippery sleeve to help get it on.
Hello Kate Thank you for contacting Dryrobe®. The sleeves have a full fleece lining. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions. Team Dryrobe®
Please could you do these in plus sizes. My daughter uses a electric wheelchair and has used dryrobes for years in her wheelchair but the extra coverage of this would be perfect but needs a plus size. She loves being outdoors and gets off road in her wheelchair in the Yorkshire Dales even up Whernside one of the 3 peaks. We need one of these to keep her warm dry and not splattered in mud and water!
Hi Ruth Many thanks for getting in touch! 😊 Dryrobes® were developed to be, first and foremost, a changing robe - therefore they are designed to be oversized and are very spacious inside. They will feel big and therefore it's important to bear this in mind when selecting a size. Please note we offer the Dryrobe® Adapt, which is designed specifically for wheelchair users. Please see this garment on our website here - https://dryrobe.com/products/dryrobe-adapt I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions. Team Dryrobe®
Please, please will you make these in other colours? As a wheelchair / mobility scooter user, I need something to keep me warm and dry but also to ensure I’m visible to others (it’s amazing how invisible you become in a mobility device!) I would also prefer a garment without a huge logo! Thank you.
Hello Roberta Thank you for contacting Dryrobe®. We don't have any immediate plans to release the Dryrobe® Advance in any other colour-ways. However, I will be sure to pass this feedback onto our design team for future consideration. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions 🙏🏻 Team Dryrobe®
