When the weather turns from endless blue summer skies to washed out windy weekends, it’s all too tempting for us to retreat to the comfort of the sofa with a cosy blanket and binge watch our favourite series. When, undoubtedly, we all feel a thousand times better for getting up and out of the house, whatever the weather.
The secret to surviving, and actually enjoying, the transition of the seasons isn’t just willpower, it’s having the right kit to keep us supported and enthusiastic about being active outdoors. Enter the Beaumont Robe in Chestnut Brown by Delta Roam. This essentially high-tech hug lets you stay endlessly adventurous all year, even when the forecast says otherwise.
Why We All Need A Go-Everywhere Robe
The Beaumont robe, for me, is a different breed. It bridges the gap between a rugged outdoor change robe and a stylish, everyday long coat. No more fretting over choosing to take a coat, waterproof or doubling up on layers, as this all-in-one has everything that I could possibly need, and then some!
Whether you’re a mother on a misty morning school run, a wild swimmer heading for a frosty dip, a dog walker tired of getting soaked to the bone, or a pitch-side parent standing in a muddy field on a Saturday morning, this is the gift that makes the cold feel optional.
What Makes The Beaumont So Special?
If you’re wondering why this specific robe is popping up everywhere in the media right now, for which I it spotted on Davina McCall and Jodie Kidd, then let’s take a closer look at why it’s such a game-changer for all…
Available in a range of beautiful colours from anthracite and admiral navy, to forest green, opal grey, warm sand and chestnut brown; their colour palette of sophisticated and earthy tones makes a refreshing change from the stereotypical neon sports wear, bringing grace and style to each coffee run or dog walk, as well as woodland adventures.
I picked up the chestnut brown robe, which works beautifully with my activewear which is predominantly black, grey or darker tones. It brings a warmth to my activewear that feels more intentional than yet another black jacket or rain mac.
Featuring a 10K waterproof and windproof outer shell, with fully taped seams, it works as a total weather shield meaning you won’t get wet, no matter how heavy the rain becomes. The structure of the reinforced, full-coverage hood is an ingenious design, as it keeps the material up and off of your face, meaning no wet fringe sticking to the sides of your face from driving rain, nor feeling claustrophobic or overheated. It keeps me as dry as sitting under a canopy, with handsfree comfort to not blow off or flap about like traditional hoods or umbrellas.
And we need to address the duvet factor of this robe, as it has the most sumptuous inner which is made from luxuriously thick, moisture-wicking fleece lining that is designed to dry you off if you’ve been swimming, but also traps in heat like a dream if you’re standing still in the wind and spectating sports. With breathable 5K ventilation, it’s quick drying and comfortable, without leaving you feeling damp or sweaty.
This robe boasts seven pockets, including a detachable, washable pouch that is perfect for wet swimwear or messy dog treats. The two-way YKK zippers make access so incredibly easy, and the interior pockets are conveniently positioned to keep your phone, purse and keys safe and dry. With generously sized fleece-lined external pockets too, you can keep your hands beautifully toasty without the need for additional gloves, scarves and bobble hats.
Unlike other dry-robes that can feel like you’re wearing a literal sleeping bag, the Beaumont has a more streamlined unisex silhouette. It’s oversized enough to be able to change your clothes underneath it, whilst being tailored enough so that you don’t feel like you’ve lost your shape entirely.
While most changing-robes stay in the car or locker, the Beaumont is expertly designed to be a coat which you can wear to the supermarket without looking like you’ve just emerged from the North Sea. It swaps large and garish logos for a more minimalist, premium look that fits into everyday life.
And with such thoughtful features, like the two-way zip which makes getting in and out of the car or sitting down a breeze, the adjustable cuffs and velcro fastenings mean that it actually moves with you, rather than just hanging off of you or getting in the way of physical tasks. It’s such a joy to wear.
Remaining Active When You’d Rather Not
I feel that the hardest part of staying healthy in colder weather is the getting-out-of-the-door bit. Knowing that I have my robe waiting for me in the hallway removes all bad-weather excuses and instantly turns a miserable, damp walk into a cozy and uplifting expedition.
So, if you’re looking to invest in one piece of kit that will take you from the tail-end of winter right through those unpredictable April showers, then this is my top pick for all. It’s functional, stylish and honestly, once you put it on, you’ll wonder how you ever did a winter walk without it.
I’ve had so many compliments from fellow school mums and dog walkers asking me where I got my dry-robe from. It’s an instant style win for every outdoor adventure, and feels just as warm and cosy as an evening spent on the sofa without sacrificing on a healthy, active lifestyle. Where will your next walk take you?
