I am looking to get one of those changing robes for when i'm out on the bike for getting changed into clean kit, so i don't have to flash in car parks anymore.. but the sizing is confusing as **** and i have no idea what will fit as on the surface it looks like none of em will. I'm on the bigger size i'm 5' 11" 52" chest and 44" waist anybody recommend something as it seems Dryrobe etc won't fit as they think we all have 36" waists and 46" chests.

I’ve got a red paddle one. You’d fit that. I do. I’ll check the size tommorow in the daylight

I'm in a large Dryrobe and it's massive! Walked to beach in last week's storm with a tee shirt under it and was sweating.

The large changing robes of most brands are massive.

I got the cheap Decathlon one, I figured the fancy ones are just more weight to carry and they don't need to be warm if you're just quickly changing.

Osprey Surf one here - about 50% of the Dryrobe ones and it’s ace. Proper warm; huge thing.

About eighty quid I think.

Cheap thing of amazon. Never walked around in it, just makes it easier to get out of my CX skinsuit without flashing people. Google Toncho. Packs down small and is easy to throw in the wash each week when it is filthy. Limited thermal properties.
