The Question on Every ‘NightWatch’ Viewer’s Mind

If you’ve been captivated by the brilliant new BBC series, Daisy May and Charlie Cooper's NightWatch, you’re not alone. As the hilarious sibling duo venture into some of the UK’s most haunted locations, viewers have been gripped by the spooky goings-on, the classic Cooper chemistry, and one other standout star of the show: a particular camouflage jacket. So, what coat was Daisy May Cooper wearing in NightWatch?   

We’re happy to confirm that the cosy, protective jacket keeping Daisy warm during her paranormal vigils is the Dryrobe® Advance in our popular Camo/Pink design.

From Olympic swimmers and pro surfers to comedy stars facing a night in a haunted prison, the Dryrobe® Advance is an essential piece of kit for anyone embracing an adventure, no matter the weather or the challenge.    

The Perfect Kit for a Paranormal Investigation?

The premise of NightWatch is simple yet terrifying: spend the night, from dusk until dawn, locked inside some of Britain’s most notoriously haunted buildings. For their six-part series, Daisy and Charlie chose locations guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine. Their journey starts close to their Cotswolds home in a tiny, cold cell at the long-abandoned HMP Gloucester. From there, the supernatural tour takes them to the medieval Chillingham Castle in Northumberland, complete with its own dungeon and torture chamber, an old pub frequented by highwaymen, and even an isolated, rustic bothy in the Scottish Highlands.   

These aren't places you visit for a quiet night's sleep. They are environments defined by cold stone, damp air, and chilling drafts, the perfect adversary for anyone trying to stay warm and focused through the long, dark hours. The challenge is as much about enduring the physical environment as it is about facing the psychological tension of a potential paranormal encounter. This is where the Dryrobe® Advance comes into its own, serving as the ultimate companion for their vigils.

Why the Dryrobe® Advance is an essential on set and beyond

Daisy May Cooper isn’t the first star to discover the benefits of a Dryrobe® on a demanding shoot. The Dryrobe® Advance has become an essential piece of kit on film and TV sets around the world, from Game of Thrones to Peaky Blinders, keeping cast and crew warm during long, cold waits between takes. In NightWatch, Daisy is both the star and the adventurer, requiring that same professional-grade protection. Here’s a breakdown of why the Camo/Pink Dryrobe® Advance was the perfect choice.

Unyielding warmth against the chill

The Dryrobe® Advance features a super-warm fleece lining, made from 100% GRS-certified recycled polyester, that is scientifically proven to help you warm up quickly and stay warm. This unique fleece also features our fast-drying back2skin™ technology, which wicks moisture away from the skin and dries incredibly quickly, ensuring that it never feels cold or wet.

A weatherproof shield for unpredictable nights

The outer shell of the Dryrobe® Advance is a formidable barrier against the elements. Constructed from 100% recycled nylon, it’s completely windproof and waterproof up to 25,000mm, more than enough to handle a sudden downpour. The fabric is treated with a PFC-free BIONIC-FINISH® ECO water-repellent technology.

Designed for the long haul: versatility and practicality

Constructed with high-quality, durable materials that are built to last, the Dryrobe® Advance is also packed with features designed for functionality. The full-length, 2-way reversible YKK® zip can be operated from the inside or outside, making it easy to get in and out or to regulate your temperature without exposing yourself to the cold. Deep, fleece-lined external zip pockets keep hands warm, while an internal waterproof zip pocket provides a safe, dry place for a phone or wallet. There’s even a huge A4-sized internal ‘poacher’ pocket.
