Great value

Best British dry robe on the market absolutely love it.

My wife and I recently took up sea swimming with the regulars at our village on the Suffolk Coast. Without exception they use Dryrobes, but we were curious to compare Dryrobe and Charlie McLeod. So, thanks to Amazon's free returns policy, we got one of each and tried them out at home.We ordered a Medium Dryrobe and a Small/Medium Charlie. They are about the same size and plenty big enough, but we are quite small (5'6" and 5'4").There are pros and cons to each. Charlie wins on pockets and style and general 'feel', whereas Dryrobe wins on its weather proof features. Of course we cannot test the waterproofing of the Charlie, because we decided to return it, and we have not yet tested the Dryrobe in seriously wet conditions. But, according to the product descriptions, the Dryrobe IS waterproof, while Charlie is only showerproof. Furthermore, the Dryrobe is fleece lined all the way to the bottom, whereas Charlie's fleece stops at the knee. And Dryrobe's main outer pockets have zips, so if you don't want to put your hands in your pockets you can zip them up and keep the rain out. Charlie DOES have an excellent outer, zipped breast pocket, which is missing from the Dryrobe.Charlie has absurd stretchy cuffs sewn into the sleeves. These would drive you mad I think, and are unnecessary because the sleeves can be gathered at the wrist and are plenty long enough. But you could always cut them out. Charlie's sleeves are slightly longer, Dryrobe's sleeves might not be long enough if you have long arms.Charlie is a nice garment, but, in our opinion, Dryrobe is better, so we kept the Dryrobe. But it was a very close contest.

Nothing- a great product

I have tried on so many robes and finally found THE ONE. Nice length (I'm 1.60m), wide yet not too wide. Bespoke finish, light, comfortable, stylish, warm and what a bonus to get this free water proof bag (which I don't know how to use yet, haha). So chuffed!

My wife is happy with the robeHowever there wasn’t the free bag mentioned in the advert and no response when I queried this.

Love this coat. I use it when sorting my horses out in bad weather keeps me sooo snug. Loads of pockets. Love the extra feature wrist hand cuffs, other makes don't have. Brilliant
