Great packable option for a boat coat

"I recently returned from 8 days of cold-water scuba diving in Port McNeill and Port Hardy. I purchased the Tech Lite to use as a boat coat to keep me warm during the many hours I'd be spending on the boat, and it did an admirable job of protecting me from the wind and rain while we were shuttling between dive sites. Best of all, it was lightweight and packable enough to fit in my checked bags, despite flying with a full set of cold-water scuba gear (drysuit, undergarments, steel BP/W, heavy fins, etc) and underwater photography equipment."

Eric L. (5/5)

Black Tech-Lite Changing Robe

"The black Tech-Lite changing robe really shines when it comes to its lightweight design, especially on flights. After a swim in the refreshing spring waters of the Atlantic or the Mediterranean, you’ll look forward to heading to the beach—especially when the wind is strong—so you can slip into the robe. I wouldn’t want to be without it during sunsets and evenings on the porch either—it makes spending time outdoors so much more enjoyable."

Uwe M. (5/5)

Loving my techlite!

"Loving this light weight robe! Packs down neatly into its own zipped pouch and is going to be perfect for changing and keeping warm in the spring and summer. Very stylish and well made."

Andree C. (5/5)

Stylish and convenient for those April showers!

"The best looking Dry Robe in their range. Is expensive for such a light robe with short sleeves. I keep mine in my car in case I get caught short in the rain. The hood sits tight against the top of my head and maybe could be made little bigger. And it’s not gonna keep you warm in the winter. Stylish and convenient for those April showers!"

Mr C. (3/5)

excellent quality

"lightweight, convenient, easy to transport and travel. For winter too cold good for autumn spring and warm days. Looks very stylish even for simple walks. I would like more colors for spring."

Antonina B. (4/5)

Great for travelling

"Unfortunately disappointed with this as it’s short sleeved and Not that warm. Yes it’s very packable and extremely hardy for travel and lightweight However it more is useful for say Spring and early Autumn rather than winter"

Brett (3/5)

"Nice lightweight robe and soft lining. Didnt like the short sleeves. Would have preferred them still as wide as they were, but normal length."

Maria (4/5)

Good alternative to Dry Robe Advance

"This is a functional poncho style jacket that is good for summer months open water swimming. Definitely the best looking dry robe out there. It can fit in my back pack when going swimming. It does however lack the snugness & comfort attached to regular dry robes but that’s the price you pay for compactness."

Robert K. (4/5)

Perfect, packs down small and does the job

"Purchased for my daughter who does triathlon but will also be living at Uni so won’t be able to store and carry all her kit, and a bulky dry robe. This packs into her tri bag and she loves it!"

Carolyn C. (5/5)

Great For Protesting!

"This is actually my second favorable review of my DryRobe because I've recently enjoyed a new outdoor sport---protest marching! The coat's great for it--pockets for my gloves, keys, phone; it's light but covers wonderfully so I can stand there on the corner w/my fellow protesters, unhurt by wind, rain, snow, ---even too much sun! And wave my protest sign for hours"

Q&A

Will you be launching tech lite long sleeve in all black at all? I am not a fan of the camo sleeve and will 💯 purchase if an all black one is being released soon. Be honest…
Hi Lauren The Black and Camo is our only long sleeve Dryrobe® Lite product currently 🙏 Team Dryrobe®
I think this would be great for travelling to events, especially if flying. Are you planning on have any other colours. I try to avoid black if at all possible?
Hi Carole The Black and Camo is our only colour Dryrobe® Lite product currently 🙏 Team Dryrobe®
I'm always looking for a rain resistant jacket that doesn't feel like a plastic bag and make me sweat buckets. Would this be suitable?
Hi Karyn Hopefully the Tech Lite Changing Rob would be oerfect for you. If has a great moveable (non plastic feel!) but waterproof. Hope this helps 😊 Team Dryrobe®
Might you consider production of a long sleeved option as you have done with original dryrobe ? I appreciate the shorter sleeve is to enable ease of changing outdoors, but longer sleeved option would be more attractive as makes it wearable as original dryrobe? Thanks
Hi Jill Thanks for your question 🙏 We will certainly feedback your request but we are not currently planning a long sleeve version of the Dryrobe® Tech Lite. Team Dryrobe®
