By teesactive / December 5th, 2024 / There are currently 0 comments

Dryrobes are not your average-sized coat; these oversized changing robes have taken the outdoor apparel world by storm since 2010 with exceptional quality and performance. Whether braving the surf, tackling extreme sports or exploring the great outdoors, Dryrobes ensure maximum comfort, warmth and protection against the outdoor elements.

However, their oversized fit can make choosing your size confusing. So, if you’re wondering, “What size Dryrobe should I get?” Fear not! We’ve outlined all the Dryrobe sizes below and which one you should get depending on your regular clothing size and what you want to use it for. We’ve also answered some of your frequently asked questions on Dryrobe sizing to help you decide.

Are Dryrobes meant to be big?

The Dryrobe is not a fitted coat and should be oversized. The loose fit provides plenty of space to change your clothes underneath comfortably and with dignity, especially after outdoor activities like paddle boarding, surfing or wild swimming. Stay warm, get dry and change your clothes all at the same time with a Dryrobe!

The oversized design also allows ample layering underneath to keep you warm in colder weather, whether walking your dog or watching outdoor sports. It also ensures freedom of movement, even when bundled up.

What size Dryrobe do I need?

When choosing your Dryrobe size, consider what you will use it for. If you want to use it after watersports to get changed out of swimwear or a wetsuit, follow the size guide below. But if you plan on wearing it just as an oversized coat, we recommend choosing a size down from your usual size.

When choosing your Advance Dryrobe size, remember that height is the main factor in ensuring a comfortable fit. If you’re between sizes, refer to the waist or dress size for the best fit for your intended use.

How to measure yourself for a Dryrobe

For your chest measurement, place a tape measure close under your arms and measure your chest at the fullest part. To find your waist measurement, measure around your natural waistline.

Dryrobe FAQs

What size Dryrobe should I get for a female fit?

The Dryrobe sizing charts above cater to unisex sizes, so finding the right fit can be confusing when shopping as a woman. Here are some tips for finding the perfect Dryrobe sizing for women.

As Dryrobes are oversized, starting with your height measurements will help you find the right size.

If you are under 5’5″ (164cm), the small Dryrobe is designed to be compact while allowing you plenty of room to change.
If you are between 5’5″ and 5’10” (164-178cm), the Dryrobe medium will offer the perfect balance between roominess for layering and mobility.
For women up to 6’2″ (189cm), the Dryrobe large is ideal for a tall fit.

However, if you have broader shoulders or a broader chest or waist and want extra room, consider sizing up, even if you’re shorter.

Equally, if you plan to wear thick clothing underneath, perhaps in colder conditions, consider going a size up for more flexibility.

What size is a medium Dryrobe?

The Dryrobe medium size is our most popular sized Dryrobe Advance. If you plan on using your Dryrobe for changing, this is the perfect size for you if you are between 5’5″ and 5’10” (164cm-178cm) tall, you have a chest size between 38″ -40″ (94cm-100cm), and you have a waist measurement of 32″ -34″ (81cm-86cm). If you want an equivalent Dryrobe size guide for UK dress measurements, the medium is the equivalent to a UK size 12-16.
