stay toasty and dry, whatever the weather
The Brobes are the ultimate solution to the not-so-great British weather. On-demand cosiness, toastiness and ultimate protection from the elements.
Be ready for adventure, whatever the weather
If there’s one thing that stops us from getting outside more it’s the great British weather.
Brobes are our answer: waterproof, windproof and breathable with a sherpa lining and a pocket that’s perfect for a hot water bottle.
They’re designed for wet mornings, windy dog walks and getting changed and warm after a chilly session out there.
Made from 100% recycled materials. (And we turn all the offcuts into totes, too!)
The changing robe you’ll
want to live in
Made from 100% recycled materials.(And the offcuts are turned into toteS)
We believe that Beachbum products should look good, make you feel good and do good.
That’s why everything comes in bright pops not boring navy blues. And it’s why our Brobes are made from 100% recycled materials that otherwise would have ended up in a landfill or in the sea.
But even then, we still have offcuts and material that doesn’t get used. So instead of throwing them out, we save the offcuts and Max’s mum Penny and her friend Lesley turn them into totes.
The totes are tough, practical and perfect for flipping inside out when you’ve changed out of your wetsuit.
Nice one Penny and Lesley 💚
Meet the brobe, The oversized changing robe you’ll want to live in
There’s nothing worse than trying to change out of wet clothes in a changing robe that clings in all the wrong places.
That’s why our brobes are oversized by design. That way, you can pull it on, get changed and stay warm without doing that awkward carpark shuffle in your towel.
Don’t forget to keep a hot water bottle in the inside pocket, so you can stay double-toasty.
Pro tip: if you’re using it as a jacket, we recommend going a size down.

“I love spotting fellow beachbums out there”
“There’s nothing we love more than being out on the water and seeing pops of colour along the shore.
Sometimes it’s a family kitted out in matching Brobes, sometimes it’s mates and their dogs rocking up for a hike in their Beachbum gear...
We love it. We love that the Brobe is helping people get out there and make the most of their day, regardless of what the British weather throws at them.”

FAQ's
Very waterproof! The outside is 10k waterproof (which means it can holds up against 10,000mm of water per square inch. That is a lot of rain). But they’re also windproof, so it keeps rain and breeze off while you warm up. Plus, you’ve got the big hood, deep pockets and a cosy sherpa lining, so you’re all set for whatever the British weather throws at you.
That depends. If you want to use the Brobe as a changing robe, go true to size. It’s oversized by design so you’ve got plenty of room to get changed comfortably. If you’re looking to wear it as a coat, it’s a good shout to go a size down.
Yep! Loads of people do (including us). It’s great for school runs, sidelines and cold beach days. We’d recommend dropping down a size if you want to wear it as a coat though as it’s deliberately oversized for getting changed out of wet clothes.
Our brobes were designed to make it easy to warm up and dry off after cold dips or paddles and give you the space and privacy to get changed without the awkward car park shuffle. But they’re also perfect for everyday wear as a coat, so whether you’re spending your weekends out on the water or doing long windy walks with a four-legged friend, the brobe is a good shout.
Everyone! They’re designed for anyone who loves to get out there. They’re worn by dog walkers, surfers, divers, paddleboarders, spectators, sea dippers, channel swimmers, track stars, TV stars, Olympians, world champions, toddlers, parents, grandparents…
Yep, we love seeing families matching up! Head to the kids’ range, pick a colour and we’ll see you out there!
