I resisted swimming robes for a decade, mainly because the existing brands were so ugly and looked like a rather bad uniform... but then I noticed that Red were making really beautiful and stylish coats. I’ve only had mine a month but this coat is so much more then just a swimming robe. It is the warmest coat I’ve ever had and so soft and comforting when the weather is brutal. It’s extremely well-made with exquisite details in the design. And when I walk in the rain - however torrential - I stay completely dry. Then the robe dries in a couple of hours at most. I wear it everywhere, not just after swimming, and can sit outside for hours at a time in freezing temperatures. I know this wonderful garment will be with me for many years to come such is its excellent quality. A number of swimming friends have bought one as a result of my glowing reports so Thank you Red for this fantastic product.
