Gorilla Robes is one of the best DryRobe alternatives UK that you’ll find, it’s great value and has made it this far up my list due to the value for money.
They offer beautiful colours too, I got to enjoy the blue robe after an open water swimming session in the UK recently, it makes sea swimming far more desirable, knowing you’ll be toasty in no-tie.
This robe offers an option on a budget yet it is of great quality. It’s waterproof and windproof, it’s made from recycled materials and who doesn’t love kangaroo pockets? This swim robe has a hot water bottle pouch on the front to help warm you up and is the only one doing this, keep your hands toasty on those windy days.
It has long sleeves, an inside pocket, and an inside fleece-lined hood and it’s easy to move around under, ensuring that your towelling robe warms up cold fingers with the inner lining. It’s like a towel dryrobe that absorbs water with its fleece inner material.
The robe is one of many long sleeve robes but it comes with extra features such as the front pouch, a windproof outer layer and taped seams – making it the perfect DryRobe alternative at almost half the price.
The Gorilla Robe is a good option but do bear in mind – it is space-consuming and bulky, which makes it difficult to transport during long hikes.
In my Gorilla Robe review you’ll find out how it got on during my test of it in Anglesey, Wales after a cold wild-swim.
