Best Dryrobe alternatives 2023 | The Sun

WHILE it's nice to have the original, sometimes buying a great dupe can save you big money, so we've rounded up some of the best Dryrobe alternatives around right now.

The Dryrobe is having a bit of a moment and we're seeing them everywhere, including on some actors trying to stay warm on movie sets.

The wearable towel is super handy if you do water sports, surfing or wild-swimming, particularly in winter, when you need to dry off and warm up fast.

But this clever clothing garment has widespread appeal for battling the winter chill, whether you're going camping or to the beach in colder weather or standing on the sidelines at your kids' footy match.

The dryrobe consists of a warm and soft sherpa fleece lining and a hardwearing windproof outer layer to protect you from the elements and keep you snug and toasty.

However, the original 'Dryrobe' doesn't come cheap at £160 for the full-length adult robe (£130 for the short sleeve) or £85 for the kids' dryrobe.

So we've rounded up some of the best dryrobe alternatives with a range of styles to suit different budgets.
