Enormous unflattering shapeless coats-what are they?

Actually it says his mum on the website, but something tells me he said the actual idea came down from his grandma. Not 100% sure.

Dry robes in the summer moon wraps in the winter about £80 plus

josianne I didn’t know that but my mum used to turn a big bath towel into a kind of changing robe when I was a kid long before dry robes were dreamt of
She would fold it in two and cut a head hole in it and hem it and that completely covered me for changing on the beach long before beach tents etc came into being

Go grannies eh Josieanne! ?

Dryrobes. Brilliant, but not cheap. Did you know the person who invented them got the idea from something his grannie had made him for going swimming in the sea?

I think I know what you mean. They are called 'dryrobes' and their purpose is to enable winter wild swimmers to get out of the water. Instantly pull their dryrobe on and they can get dry and changed into dry clothes inplaces where there are no changing room.

DD is a wild swimmer and has one and thinks they are absolutely wonderful and says they are ideal for outdoor events like concerts where you take a picnic etc, because if it rains the robe will completely cover you - and your picnic if necessary.

We all do wear them marydoll and you can fit a hot water bottle in too ??

Well I have a Moonwrap but it is only for wearing to the beach and back when swimming (not for going out for the day or evening?)
Maybe you re not seeing them but it was just a thought when you said ‘by the coast’

I have just checked them out, I have seen wild swimmers wearing these, after coming out of the sea. A great idea!

A bit pass remarkable, to judge, as my mother would have said. Does it really matter, what they look like? Each to their own!

Why is it patronising, it’s her opinion. They are very unattractive, they look like sleeping bags, but if they want to walk around in them that’s up to them. Not my choice.

The Dryrobe coats? Funnily enough I was at a friends today and she has one.

Magnificent apparel for dog walking or rambling. But I do agree they're not particularly flattering.

Are they moon jackets you mention living by the coast and those of us still swimming in the sea wear moon coats there and back, they are big, warm with warm furry insides and you can take your arms out to change in them
Of course if you are talking about people in the town or shopping then it’s not them
Just a thought

Photos?
We can't possibly judge without them.

What a very patronising observation!
