Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robe
[Ad-gifted] Our summer holidays took us to the beautiful Scottish Highlands, where we enjoyed a relaxing family break in Dornoch. Staying in a static caravan just a short stroll from the beach meant we could make the most of the stunning coastline every day. Whether we were taking long walks along the golden sands, paddling in the sea, building sandcastles or simply enjoying the fresh sea air, the beach quickly became our favourite place to unwind. The peaceful surroundings and breathtaking scenery made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
With so much time spent by the water, having practical clothing that could keep up with our adventures was essential. That’s why we packed the Men’s Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robe and the Women’s Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robe from Red Equipment.
Designed for comfort, convenience and quick drying, they made changing after beach walks and sea paddles effortless while keeping everyone warm and covered.
In this post, we’re sharing why these versatile changing robes became must-have essentials for our Scottish getaway and why we’d happily pack them for every family adventure in the future.
Men’s Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robe
The Men’s Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robe in Admiral Blue is the perfect companion for outdoor adventures, whether you’re surfing, paddleboarding, wild swimming or enjoying a day at the beach.
Made from premium quick-dry microfibre, it absorbs moisture quickly while drying fast, making it ideal for changing after time in the water. The generous fit provides plenty of room to change comfortably and discreetly, while the soft fabric feels great against the skin. It is also perfect to keep warm if you are out at the beach.
We chose the Admiral Blue colour for its classic nautical style and practical design, helping to disguise marks from sand and saltwater. Our 13-year-old son is wearing it, and although it’s a little roomy at the moment, we know he’ll grow into it perfectly, especially as he’s currently having a growth spurt.
Lightweight, compact and easy to pack, it’s an excellent investment and one which is not only durabile but something he would wear in years to come.
Women’s Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robe
The Women’s Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robe is an outdoor essential, combining comfort, practicality and style for beach days, wild swims and watersports adventures.
My daughter chose the beautiful Sage Green colour, but again there are 4 other colour options also available. The sage green is a soft, nature-inspired shade that looks effortlessly stylish while blending perfectly with outdoor surroundings. Perfect colour for tanned skin.
Although designed for an adult (women), the generous fit makes it a versatile choice for growing teens too. Our 15-year-old teenage daughter is wearing it and she totally loved the baggy look and feel on her. Knowing that she’ll also grow into it, it makes me feel like it is a smart long-term investment.
Crafted from premium quick-dry microfibre, the robe absorbs moisture efficiently while drying fast, keeping you comfortable between adventures.
The roomy design provides privacy when changing, while the lightweight fabric packs down easily into a beach bag. Whether you’re heading to the coast, paddleboarding, camping or simply enjoying family day out to the beach like we did, this poncho changing robe is a must-have companion.
What we thought of Red’s Microfibre Ponco Changing Robe?
After using both the Men’s Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robe and the Women’s Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robe throughout our holiday, we can honestly say they quickly became two of the most-used items we packed. Although both robes are designed for adults, we chose them for our teenage son and daughter and they fitted them perfectly.
The relaxed, roomy design gave them plenty of space to change comfortably while also leaving room for them to grow, making them a great long-term investment.
From early morning beach walks to afternoons spent paddling in the sea, the robes made getting changed afterwards so much easier and far more comfortable. The quick-drying microfibre fabric impressed us by absorbing moisture efficiently without feeling heavy, and it dried much faster than a traditional towel, meaning they were ready to use again later in the day.
Our son loved the classic Admiral Blue colourway, while the Sage Green looked fantastic on our daughter. Both shades are stylish, practical and perfect for outdoor adventures.
Lightweight, compact and easy to pack, these changing robes are ideal for family holidays, watersports and beach days. They combine comfort, quality and practicality, and we’d happily recommend them to families with older children and teenagers as well as adults.

About Red Equipment
There’s literally nothing quite like a Red Equipment adventure. Nobody sweats over the small stuff as much as they do. They don’t simply make cookie-cutter boards or flimsy changing robes and slap a logo on them. In fact, they’re the only paddle board manufacturer that operates from its own private facility – with a robust quality control system which means they have a return rate of just 0.02%.
Their story started with creating the very first Red Paddle Co board, when their founder John made sure that enjoyment was at the heart of the board experience. For him, paddleboarding was a relaxing and sociable way to enjoy the outdoors, requiring equipment that was fun and reliable to use.
Now, more than ten years on, this ethos has helped us create a brilliant community of not just paddle boarders, but outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world. They’re supporting this group in every way they can, with the range of inflatable paddle boards this community knows and loves, as well as the most innovative waterproof bags and waterproof changing robes on the market.

Yesss! I really like this. These poncho changing robes look incredibly practical, especially for beach days, camping trips, and family vacations. I love that they dry quickly, provide privacy for changing, and are lightweight enough to pack without taking up much space. The fact that they fit growing teens while still being comfortable for adults makes them an even better investment.
If you have teens then you know they love wearing baggy clothes, so these dry changing robes are a game changer for them
I love this! It’s so hard to find something to cover with at the beach when you’re wet and the wind picks up. It’s either too thin or too thick. This is perfect, and I love the microfiber.
Agree and their selection of available colours is perfect too. Just the right thickness as well
I love the microfiber and built-in hood. These are awesome for the beach to dry you off and keep the wind off at the same time.
Absolutely! It keeps the wind, sand, sun, rain away too. A great buy
I love the look of this microfibre poncho. As you say, it’s great for use at the beach after you’ve been in the water or when the wind picks up x
Agree 100%, it keeps you nice and warm too
I do love this brand and these microfibre ponchos are perfect for anyone heading to the beach to dry off and change easily. This is definitely a must have item
Yes a must have indeed!
These ponchos are amazing…I love that they’re microfiber, this makes them so easy to dry and almost stain-resistant. They’re so cool and useful especially in camping trips.
The ponchos are easy to pack and light weighted and dry quickly too. They are also perfect on campaing or caravan holidays too.
That sounds like such a gamechanger for holidays where you’re in and out of the water. I may have to look into one of these when we start having beach days more x
It sure is, no more wondering how to change out of wet swimming costumes
I love how lightweight and compact this is. It looks like something I’d easily pack for our trips without taking up much space. The price also seems very reasonable, which makes it even more appealing. Thanks for sharing your review!
You are welcome. And the best part, I could also share the changing robe with my daughter as it was adult size
This looks absolutely perfect for the beach! Our kids love wearing things like this after they’ve been in the water, and it’s great for actually changing too.
It kept the kids warm too especially in the evening when the beach got windy
