5 Reasons Why The Pursuit Change Jacket Is A Great Surf Robe

Fleece-lined swim parkas and oversized changing robes have long been the go-to for changing modestly on the sand and warming up quickly post-surf. The pros of these surf robes are clear: they are warm, cosy, roomy, and quick to dry. 

However, it’s no secret that you perform best with gear that works with you, not around you. This is where the Red Equipment Pursuit Change Jacket comes into its own. As an ergonomically tailored, high-performance take on the classic surf robe, it comes with the comfort you expect with a technical design that keeps up with you. Let’s go into it in a little more detail, with 5 indisputable reasons why the Pursuit Change Jacket might just be the best surf robe you’ll ever own.

Warm Up Ready

Arriving at the shore feeling pumped and ready is key to having a good surf. This preparation starts before you even leave home, by wearing something that keeps you both physically and mentally in the right shape. 

Unlike bulkier surf robes that can leave you feeling cosy but sluggish and not ready to move, the Pursuit Change Jacket is built for quick changes and dynamic movement. This surf robe is constructed from four-way stretch fabric with a highly flexible outer shell, making it incredibly easy to hit the beach a warm up effectively without restriction. The dynamic fit of the Pursuit Change Jacket is primed perfectly for the dynamic stretching and limbering up you’ll include as part of your pre-surf prep.

Adaptable Changing Space

One of the major draws of a more conventional, baggy swim parka for surfing is the fuss-free changing space it provides. However, the Pursuit Change Jacket absolutely matches these styles when it comes to awkward van-side changes or makeshift changing space moments. 

At first glance, this awesome surf robe looks slimline and fitted. However, one of the cleverest features of the Pursuit is what it hides. When it’s time to wriggle out of a wetsuit or swimwear, the hidden full-length side zips open up to reveal stretch panels which provide extra changing space. This clever design feature ensures you get freedom of movement exactly when you need it, all without compromising warmth, coverage, and the benefits of a more tailored surf robe.

Perfect Fit

Where the fit of this surf robe is concerned, it’s noticeably different from the other surf robes you’ve seen and probably worn. The Pursuit Change Jacket is ergonomically designed, looking and feeling much slimmer and more tailored than a practical but bulky changing robe-type jacket. 

Waterproof and windproof but with a structured design, this surf robe fits more like a premium jacket without losing functionality. It combines the convenience of a lightweight surf poncho or towelling robe with the performance features of a more oversized and roomy jacket, proving that it is possible to find a happy medium tailored exactly to your demands as a surfer.

Performance Ready

Even in the warmest months of the year, the post-surf chill is not something to be huffed at. It’s important to have the right layers to hand, particularly when the wind picks up, to prevent injury, muscle soreness, and general discomfort. 

The Pursuit Change Jacket combats this with standout thermal regulation, thanks to the inclusion of a grid fleece lining that actively wicks moisture away from your skin, as well as 30k breathability to prevent the dreaded cycle of sweat to chill. This breathability rating is about as high as you can get with a 10k waterproof outer, keeping you dry and in that comfortable body temperature sweet spot. 

Versatile Design

Of course, surfing is a lifestyle, and the best gear can be worn both near and far from the beach. The design of the Pursuit Change Jacket makes it wearable just about anywhere, with silicone cuff adjusters, low-profile seams, and a minimal silhouette that looks just as good when buying groceries and running errands as it does when you’re by the water. With a trim design and attention to detail, this surf robe can fit seamlessly into all aspects of your active lifestyle.
