It’s not a dryrobe right!!! It’s for wearing in helicopters you ignorant sheeple.

They've missed a trick in justifying the £280, "they dont put pockets in shrouds". Except they have.

It’s a sodding parka! Definitely sort of Oasish, maybe…

Those big pockets will be useful for keeping the Tip of the Spear in...

Having looked at the photos, that huge logo plastered all across the back is a hard no, and I’m none too sure about the Velcro patches on the sleeves - it’s not MilSpec, you’re not going to be wearing unit patches on it!
Anyway, at that price, it’s a no from me anyway. I can see a use for a DryRobe clone/analogue, but I’m not prepared to pay their prices.

You might not be wearing unit patches but you will be wearing "unit patches".
1st Battalion "leave the dogshit bags hanging in the trees" regiment.
2nd Battalion Saturday Afternoon Soiree. "first on the balcony".
I am curious about what exactly it is armoured with.

There was an FB link missing off my original post. Not sure if that’s because Zuckerberg is a ****er but I’ll dig it out, it’s one of them SAS geezers doing an unconvincing job of convincing you it isn’t a dryrobe.

For when you’ve just been involved in a daring mission behind enemy lines, rescuing hostages from terrorists, but then you need to pick the kids up from school and it looks like you could be in for a spot of drizzle

Thrudark kit is insanely priced. Makes TAD look cheap!

So, I only need it when I need to wear a lot of bulky equipment and need to keep warm, but also have access to my bulky equipment. Which is never, because, well tracing back, I've never worn tactical attire OR been picked up by a chopper to be dropped into a military zone. Leaving me zero use for this product, ok, that's it, I'm sold, I'll take none thanks.

Ah, love it. Can't wait to see one in the wild. There's a bloke at the missus parkrun who must be up there on their rewards programme. He looks like they've bukkaked him with their catalogue, so come winter I have no doubt he'll have one of these for post-run recovery.
May I offer a reasonably priced alternative (£80), that is/was issued and is ridiculously warm.
The Dew Liner:
For that quintessential post-cold war era ally-ness, it's the only bit of warm kit to be seen dead in.

You see you lot just don't get it do you? The big pockets are where you store iPads aka Kidchillax.
You know there's someone on here who has kitted out the whole family in them. Emailed the CEO to thank him for bringing such a dynamic and innovative product to the market, jubilant at the exceptional value for money. Let's face it they're too cheap should be at least 400 quid a piece right!

For that price does it come with complimentary SF ugg boots?

Oooh, I went bouldering on Sunday, so I qualify. Be ideal for keeping all my umm, bulky kit warm. I had sandwiches and snacks too, that would be better in the massive pockets not my bag, yeah? Didn't helicopter in though, more parked in the carpark and walked 5mins to the crag, but yeah, basically the same. Tactical stuff indeed.
Anyway, never seen this brand before. So it's sportswear inspired by military stuff for the public at very high prices? Hmmm

its an open secret. Its never been officially acknowledged.

I only became aware of them because someone mentioned on here that Victoria Pendleton was doing ads for them (mentioned in a "what the hell is she doing" way). I now get inundated with their stuff via Facebook as I can't help looking at the comments to the stuff they post. Total throbbers.
Posted : 15/04/2025 12:30 pm
LOL, I made exactly this point on their tough guy FB video adverts, including ones with a guy from that SAS reality TV show.
They weren't happy 😂

If I could persuade Mrs Lex to wear one in the house, I could probably turn the heating off over winter.

Surely a true special forces look would be.
1no. Khaki Desert shirt
1no. Khaki desert shorts. Mid thigh.
1no. Pair of crepe soled desert buits.
A pink landrover and a pair of goggles
All topped off with a can do attitude.

That's so 1940's.
Now it's AKU boots, Fjallraven trousers, Arcteryx tee and a Rab down jacket.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to have a big bushy beard, wear dark glasses and a baseball cap to enrobe one's self in the not-a-changing-robe.

You still do have to be a steely-eyed killer - right ?

The nearest I get is a couple of pairs of ex-Army Meindle Desert Fox boots, black cargo shorts from the Route One skate shop in Bath, whatever tour tee I grab from storage, and the same goes for a jacket.

You are describing, very accurately, the guy i saw today touring the turf house at the NTS visitor centre in Glencoe. The tactical version would be right up his street, just in case of backstabbing Campbells. He was extra awesome though as he also had crocs and socks.
