as per title, CRC are currently selling nukeproof blackline changing / dry robes thingy for £50

https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/nukeproof-blackline-robe

looks identical to the DHB one i have, which is a great bit of kit for post muddy wet winter rides. lives in the back of the car, and if i've only got a short post ride drive home i'll just stick it on over my wet kit. however it's plenty big enough to get changed under and the wide 3/4 length arms mean you can slide your arms inside the robe easily to get changed without having to flash your arse and scaring the locals.

you look like an idiot wearing them, but great way to get warm quickly post ride

even more bargainous! none of them are worth the normal rrp's and i struggle to see how how they get to those prices given there not special tech fabrics etc involved,, but at sub £50 i think you get enough value out of them over a few cold wet winters

if you have a small car it'll fill half your boot ;0)

a dryrobe never worked for me so have therefore got a couple of poncho hooded towels, northcore one is good for £20. other options can be £10-12, mine is permananty left in the car,

I bought a nicely furry lined one off Sport Pursuit for about £50 for after sea swimming. I met a group on soltice night and they were all sitting on the beach cosy in theirs, I was shivering in my cycling jacket! So this thing has sat in my car ever since, I've used it once, but I normally ride to the beach and they don't pack down. Duh! 😆
Anyway, yeah the Nukeproof one looks a decent price 😀
