dryrobe

Dryrobe was founded in 2010 by Gideon Bright in Cornwall, UK – one of the harshest and most beautiful surfing regions in Europe. Bright was a surfer himself and knew the problem: after a session in the cold Atlantic, you would stand shivering in the parking lot, trying to change without exposing yourself, and had no warm layer to warm up quickly. His solution was the Advance Robe: a kind of oversized, warming cloak with a waterproof outer material and a warm fleece lining, which turns changing at the beach or by the car into a comfortable ritual.

The core product of Dryrobe is the Advance Changing Robe – available in various lengths and color options. The outer material is wind- and water-resistant, and the inner lining is made of high-quality microfleece or sherpa material. Dryrobe has also developed a lighter long-sleeve version for warmer conditions, as well as accessories like laundry bags and organizers for the Dryrobe. The concept has spread beyond the surf community: Dryrobe is now also popular among swimmers, triathletes, and outdoor athletes – anywhere people want to warm up quickly after sports.

Dryrobe has created a global niche with a simple but elegant product. The brand stands for the post-surf ritual: the end of a good session, changing by the sea, hot tea, wet hair. For many surfers, the Dryrobe has now become as essential as the surfboard itself.

At Surfari in Zurich, you can find Dryrobe Changing Robes – for everyone who wants to take the next step in warmth and comfort after surfing.
