Tried & Tested: The New Nyord Changing Robes

Whatever I'm doing I always make sure I have a changing robe in my boot, so I was super excited to try out Nyord's new changing robe. I was really impressed with how cosy it felt while remaining lightweight and easy to pack away. The brand's sustainability focus shines through every detail of the product design.

Aesthetic Appeal

I was immediately drawn to the robes' visual design. Multiple colour combinations featuring contrasting colours and linings are available. The navy and yellow option proved most popular among bestsellers, and I found it suited equally well for beach wear or casual dog walking.

Warmth and Insulation

Putting the robe on felt like being wrapped in a soft dressing gown — ideal after cold water immersion. Deep, lined exterior pockets kept my hands warm effectively. The brand incorporates 100% recycled PrimaLoft lining, which is unusual in changing robes. This material offers reduced bulk compared to synthetic alternatives while maintaining breathability and wet-condition insulation properties.

Weather Protection

I tested during wet, windy conditions. The robe kept me completely dry during extended rainy beach walks. The drawstring hood and adjustable cuffs effectively blocked wind. Nyord uses a plant-based breathable waterproof coating free from PFCs and formaldehyde, distinguishing it from traditional coatings. The nylon exterior is also recycled material.

Practical Features

The roomy fit and two-way zipper made changing inside the robe straightforward. An internal waterproof stash pocket secures your phone. The robe compresses impressively for bag storage. Overall, this product demonstrates quality design rooted in cold-water expertise, with genuine emphasis on comfort, practicality, and craftsmanship.
