Make your robe last longer, stay cosy, and keep performing in every adventure.
Sundfœrr changing robes are designed for life lived outdoors — wet beach days, wild swims, rainy pitch-side weekends, early-morning dog walks and everything in between.
But like all performance fabrics, a little care goes a long way in keeping your robe waterproof, warm, and ready for adventure.
Here’s your go-to guide on: How to weatherproof your robe
- How (and when) to wash it
- The best way to dry it
- How often to reproof it
Why Weatherproofing Matters
Your Sundfœrr robe is made with a water-resistant shell designed to protect you from wind, rain and spray.
Over time — especially with washing, saltwater, sand or mud — the water-repellent finish naturally wears down.
You’ll notice this when:
- Water doesn’t bead on the fabric anymore
- Rain starts soaking in rather than rolling off
- The robe feels “damp” on the outside in heavy weather
That’s your sign it’s time to reproof.
How to Reproof Your Changing Robe
Reproofing is easy and takes just a few minutes.
You can use:
- A technical spray-on waterproofer
- A wash-in reproofing treatment
- Eco-friendly water-based solutions
We recommend spray-on reproofing, as it keeps the inner fleece safe and avoids clogging breathable fabric layers.
✨ Step-by-step: Spray Reproofing
1. Brush off any mud or sand
2. Lightly clean the outer shell with a damp cloth
3. Zip the robe up fully
4. Hang it somewhere ventilated
5. Spray evenly across the whole outer surface
6. Leave to dry naturally
If your robe gets soaked regularly, or sees lots of outdoor action, reproofing helps restore that “fresh from the shop” performance.
How Often Should I Reproof My Robe?
This depends on how often and where you wear it:
✔️ Weekly Swim + Beach Walkers – every 6–8 weeks
✔️ Regular Outdoor Use / Dog Walks / Pitch-side – every 3–4 months
✔️ Seasonal/Occasional Use – twice a year
Top tip:
Test the waterproofing by splashing a little water on the fabric — if it beads, you’re good! If it soaks in, time to reproof.
How to Wash Your Sundfœrr Robe
Washing too often can shorten the life of your waterproof coating.
Instead, spot clean where you can.
🧼 Full Wash Instructions
1. Close zips and Velcro
2. Turn robe inside out
3. Wash on a gentle, cold cycle (30°C max)
4. Use non-bio detergent
5. Never use fabric softener (it destroys the water-resistant finish)
6. Avoid harsh chemicals and bleach
If the robe is heavily muddy, run a rinse first.
How to Dry It
Slow and steady wins the race!
🌬️ Best method:
- Hang dry naturally
- Air it indoors or outdoors
- Keep away from direct heat
🔥 Avoid:
- Tumble dryers
- Radiators
- Heated drying cabinets
High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and shrink fleece fibres.
Bonus tip:
If your fleece loses fluffiness, gently brush it with a clean soft brush to revive it.
General Care Tips to Make Your Robe Last Years
- Shake out sand and grit — it wears fabric down
- Store dry and rolled, not stuffed damp in a bag
- Brush off saltwater residue, especially after sea swims
- Reproof before winter or big adventures
- Treat zips kindly — grit and salt can shorten their life
Think of your robe like a waterproof jacket and cosy fleece in one — a little TLC means performance season after season.
