The Basics of a Towel Changing Robe

What Exactly is a Towel Changing Robe?

The name does do a good job of describing what they are but essentially its an oversized towel that you can wear to get changed, walk around in or use a blanket. 

Towel Changing Robes were first designed for surfers to allow them to get changed after and before a surf without the struggle of holding up a traditional towel. They have now become massively popular with all types of beach lovers and campers. It allows people to walk to and from the shower blocks easily and get changed without flashing anyone haha.

Why a Towel Changing Robe is Essential

I have a towel changing robe that stays in my van, separate lightweight & compact one that stays in my walking bag and a spare one i use at home. 

They are one of the best pieces of kit i own, you don't realise how often  you use it / need it until you have one i would be lost without mine now. They allow you to walk to and from the shower blocks on camp sites with ease and the only thing you need to take with you is your shampoo & shower gel! no more awkwardly carrying two sets of clothes, a towel and everything else. 

ive also been on a walk and discovered a great swimming spot, i had my robe with me and it allowed me to quickly get changed and get in for a dip without having to worry about were i was going to get changed
