We made this robe into a stowable changing robe, small when you fold it, oversized when you wear it. The thin waterproof fabric with taped seems keeps you dry and protected from the wind and rain before and after your big race. The inside of the robe is designed with a comfy microfiber liner that gives you the sensation of a high end microfiber towel. The robe will dry you up after a wet race and keep you warm before the next one.
