At Mike’s Dive Store, we’re always looking for gear that genuinely makes your time in and around the water more comfortable, practical, and enjoyable. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Dryrobe® - the original and world’s best weatherproof changing robe - is now available both online at www.mikesdivestore.com and in our London showroom.
For divers, open-water swimmers, surfers, paddleboarders, kayakers, triathletes and anyone who spends time outdoors, a Dryrobe® is a true game-changer. Built for life outdoors, it lets you get changed, stay warm, and protect yourself from the elements - wherever your next adventure takes you.
Why We Love Dryrobe®
Dryrobe® has become synonymous with performance, comfort, and quality - and for good reason. Born on the cold, windy beaches of North Devon, the brand was created by surfer Gideon Bright, who wanted a way to change comfortably outdoors without freezing. Since then, Dryrobe® has grown into a global phenomenon - trusted by elite athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday adventurers alike.
Here’s why the Mike’s Dive Store team are proud to stock the brand:
Built for British Weather
Let’s face it - the UK climate is rarely predictable. Dryrobe® products are designed to withstand the worst of it, keeping you dry and warm no matter what the forecast throws at you. The waterproof outer shell provides an incredible 25,000mm protection from rain, while the windproof layer creates a complete barrier against the cold.
Unmatched Warmth
The super-soft fleece lining inside each Dryrobe® is more than just cosy - it’s scientifically proven to help increase your core temperature and aid recovery after cold-water exposure. You’ll be amazed how quickly you warm up once you slip into it.
Sustainability at Its Core
Dryrobe® is a Certified B Corp™, which means they meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental responsibility. Every product is built on the principle of “buy less, buy better,” using long-lasting, high-quality materials designed to last for years.
The Dryrobe® Advance uses 100% recycled fabrics, including post-consumer recycled polyester fleece and recycled nylon shells finished with a plant-based, PFC-free water-repellent coating. That means no harmful chemicals, less waste, and a lower environmental footprint.
Built to Last
Durability is another reason we love Dryrobe®. These robes are designed to take a beating - whether it’s wind, salt, rain, or mud - and still perform season after season. Plus, every product is backed by the Dryrobe® Performance Guarantee, meaning you can shop with complete confidence.

The Dryrobe® Difference
Dryrobe® has become the go-to for cold-water athletes and outdoor lovers for one simple reason: it works. It’s built to withstand whatever the elements throw your way and to keep you comfortable before, during and after your time in the water.
You’ll see them at triathlons, wild swims, surf competitions, dive sites, and even on the side-lines of outdoor events. This versatility is what sets Dryrobe® apart - it’s more than a changing robe, it’s a lifestyle essential for anyone who embraces the outdoors.
Sustainability & Ethics
Dryrobe®’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond just materials. Every aspect of production is carefully considered:
- The outer shells use recycled nylon, reducing waste and environmental impact.
- The fleece lining is made from post-consumer recycled polyester, diverting waste from landfill.
- All products are treated with BIONIC-FINISH® ECO, a plant-based, PFC-free water-repellent coating.
