Dryrobe Advance Short Sleeve
SQUIRREL_TEXT_13197210
For the mum who: is an outdoor swimmer or beach visitor
Why she'll love it: For those mums who love an outdoor swim, Dryrobe is your go-to Mother's Day gift for 2025. Tested by our team, they noted that this present is "an incredibly cosy and well-designed changing robe perfect for wild swimmers, surfers, beachgoers and those brave enough to battle the elements."
What truly stood out was how quickly the inner fleece lining dried after contact with wet swimwear. We also loved the fleece-lined pockets — even softer than the sherpa-style towelling inner, they make perfect hand warmers.
