Leading outdoor change robe brand dryrobe, notes that it has worked closely with the para-sports community to launch the new dryrobe Adapt. Billed as a first of its kind adaptive robe, the product has been designed with wheelchair users in mind.
Priced at £165, the product was first unveiled at the 2023 ISA World Para Surfing Championships earlier this month of which dryrobe was an official sponsor.
Tailored to keep any wheelchair user warm and dry, the dryrobe Adapt consists of an upper and lower half that zip together to protect the wearer from the elements. Designed to be used as a long coat rather than a traditional changing robe, the detachable lower half allows the dryrobe Adapt to be worn as a ‘sleeping bag’ in colder climates, while the upper half can be used as a separate jacket on warmer days.
The dryrobe Adapt is crafted with 100% recycled fabrics. It has a waterproof and windproof outer shell made from recycled nylon, as well as a warm and unique inner lining made from recycled polyester. The fabrics are coated with eco-friendly BIONIC-FINISH ECO water-repellent technology, which reduces the need for washing and extends the lifespan of the garment. The dryrobe Adapt also features minimal sealed seam construction which enhances the durability and performance of the product.
The dryrobe Adapt is designed to fit any body shape and size, with a range of features that ensure a comfortable and convenient fit for all wheelchair users. These include a drawcord adjustable fleece-lined hood, deep fleece-lined external pockets, an internal waterproof zip entry pocket and bright red drawcords for ease of use for the visually impaired. The dryrobe Adapt also comes with its own ‘stash bag’ which can be used for storage and transport.
dryrobe founder, Gideon Bright said “We are absolutely thrilled to launch the dryrobe Adapt, which is part of our commitment to making our products – and the water sports we love – more accessible to everyone.
“We’re incredibly strong believers that anyone should be able to enjoy getting active outdoors and we’ve worked closely with the para-sports community to develop this product.”
