Hybrid winter parka, fleece coat and changing robe
If you live near the seaside or popular outdoor swimming spots, you'll be familiar with the sight of people going about their daily business in voluminous dry robes instead of coats. It’s practical, certainly, but wouldn't it be nice if someone made a combination coat/changing poncho that combined the best bits of both garments and looked good too? Something exactly like the Revolution parka from Red Original, in fact. After two years of development, they've come up with a 3-in-1 piece of apparel that you can wear at the beach, the ski slope or just paddling across the campsite to get to the showers. Using recycled materials, the Revolution is an insulated waterproof overcoat that can also be used as a calf-length changing robe. Wear the lightweight fleece liner as a stand-alone jacket, use it as a sort of outdoorsy dressing gown, or zip it into the outer for a seriously warm winter parka. Hard-wearing, quick-drying and versatile, the Revolution solves all your outerwear dilemmas in one go

Sizing is based on height. Sleeve length and general room in the coat increases incrementally with sizes so if you are between sizes we recommend considering your build, arm length and if you are planning to change under the coat when selecting which size to go for.

Red Paddle Co boards come with a five-year warranty as standard – and if you think that sounds generous, it's because virtually no-one needs to use it. Their paddleboards are so well built that they've literally driven a 22-tonne digger over one without breaking it, and warranty rates stand at a staggeringly low 0.5%.
The same goes for the rest of their gear too – from beautifully made waterproof backpacks with super-strong welding, to hybrid changing robe/parkas that'll take you from the beach to the high arctic and everywhere in-between. This stuff isn't cobbled together overseas by the lowest bidder – it's designed and purpose-built in Red's own Devon facility, drawing on more than 15 years of experience and an uncompromising attitude to quality.
We've had a good old nose around their Totnes HQ, and what we really love about Red is the way their kit is engineered to be portable and versatile for multi-activity adventures. Sure, you can just chuck their compact inflatable boards in the back of the car and have a splash about at the beach, but they’re so packable that you can also stick them in a backpack and pony them up to remote mountain lakes, or spend a day paddling downriver and get the train home. Your imagination really is the limit.
This is seriously well-engineered gear that's built to perform and to last, and we're right on board with that.
