Built to the same uncompromising standards, the Waterproof Parka shares the DNA of our iconic changing robes.
Main fabrics are made from 100% GRS-certified recycled polyester. Finished with a PFC-free, plant-based Durable Water-Repellent.
Packed with features you need, including a magnetic storm-flap, peaked hood, fleece-lined hip pockets, and internal gadget pockets.
We offer free trackable returns if you are in UK, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, Germany, Austria, France and Sweden. We offer subsidised returns to other locations, find out more on our Delivery and Returns page.
It is not possible to amend an order once it has been placed.
No. Unlike the signature oversized change robe design, the Waterproof Parka is built with a conventional coat fit and a tailored silhouette intended for everyday wear rather than changing underneath.
For information, including express shipping costs and delivery and returns costs for all countries, please see our designated Delivery & Returns page.
We understand that sometimes you just need a different size or colour. Whilst we don't offer direct exchanges, you can select our gift card option in the returns portal instead of a refund, enabling you to reorder the preferred item quickly and easily.
The Parka provides a regular, slim-line jacket fit in sizes XS to XL. While the Advance robe is intentionally oversized to accommodate changing, you should select your standard coat size for the Parka based on chest and dress size measurements.
The Parka uses a 265gsm recycled Sherpa fleece body lining paired with 200gsm Polar fleece sleeve lining. It delivers tailored warmth (rated 7/10 compared to the Advance's 9/10), making it ideal for daily active wear, dog walks, and sideline spectating.
It features fleece-lined zipped hip pockets for warming hands and two internal YKK-zipped gadget pockets for secure phone or wallet storage.
This depends on where you're based, when you placed your order and which delivery service you chose at checkout. For full delivery information, please see our designated Delivery & Returns page.

"I love it. Perfect for dog walking on winter days. Very versatile. Warm even with a T-shirt on.. very warm with winter clothes on for those cold days.. Keeps you dry and if you add wellies the Parka almost tocuhes them to keep lesg dry too.. nice big pockets. The magnets are a good addition but the top and bottom one do pop opwn regularly. Stronger or double would be better.. love the hood too.."

"Love , love , love my dryrobe . Don’t care if i’m called a w****r !! Just spent the weekend in raining ,blustery Norfolk and have been warm and dry . Perfect for beach walks and the campervan . Best coat ever . Haven’t stopped wearing it since it arrived."
— hilary s. (5/5)
"Fantastic purchase, so pleased with the new parka, light and not bulky and the magnetic closures are a revelation no more clothes and gloves getting attached to velcro. At 5'2" the length is nearer ankles than knees but comfortable to walk in. The fit allows ease of movement without the bulk in the arms of other coats. Overall an extremely pleased customer, highly recommend."
— Amanda H. (5/5)
"My new blue parka dry robe is great. The length is just right lovely, comfortable, cosy and not as heavy as the changing dry robe. It lives up to the cold weather and rain but if there was one thing I would change it would be the double zip, it’s very difficult to do up. All in all I’m well impressed with my new parka."
— Mr b. (5/5)
"Great parka for dog walks and after swimming. Only issues I am having is that zipper gets stuck quite often and the bottom of the coat goes up when windy, apart from that it’s a good coat that fits well with space underneath for a thicker jumper. Kept me dry these last few days."
— Maria T. (3/5)
"This is a loveiy parka. However, the zip is such a pain. It takes so long to try to get the teeth to line up. I’ve just spent so long trying to zip up the parka whilst the dog has been waiting (bot so patiently). Trying to zip up on the work car park is equally annoying when you just need to run on out of the rain. The zip design could definitely be improved. I almost dread zipping it up. Apart from that, the parka is good."
— Michelle H. (4/5)
"I live in the one of the wettest parts of Scotland and I'd become so sick of wearing a waterproof jacket and having the rain drop straight onto my jeans, soaking them, along with everything in my pockets. This parka is great - it's roomy (I'm 6'3" and went with large which is easily big enough) with good pockets, and it's warm, and its waterproof, so dog walks in the almost incessant rain are a bit more pleasant. Really quick delivery, good price for the money and highly recommended. Only thing I think would improve would be some reflective logos (given I use it for dog walking in rain, in the winter and at night, I think that would be a good addition). Far from a negative though - delighted all round."
— Mr H. (5/5)
"The Parka has had a thorough test today thanks to Storm Boelo. Remained warm and most importantly dry. Possibly the best hood on a coat I have ever had...never moved when zipped up. Only criticism is the very bottom magnetic closure on zip flap doesn't stay closed in strong winds...but otherwise its great coat."
— Andrew P. (5/5)
"I was wanting to love this robe, however as I bought it for dog walking I have found I am disappointed with it. This zip is not long enough at the bottom and the magnet closure does not stay closed therefore my legs are very exposed to the elements. Also the zip is quite awkward to fasten it can take some time to catch it"
— Claire W. (3/5)
"Love the burgundy colour and the slimmer fit. The fleece lining is warm and comfy but not as warm as the Dryrobe I already have - which is exactly what I wanted for this time of year. It’s also lighter and easier to fold up - especially when stuffed into the back of the car or camper van! Perfect. I’m 5ft 8” and 10st 5lbs. Medium fits me nicely."
— Paula S. (5/5)
