The EVO Pro Changing Robe: The Cold-Weather Kit Worn by Stars, Surfers and Smart Aussies

Written by Lydia Burdett /

Let’s be honest, nobody wakes up excited about getting changed in the cold after a trip to the ocean.

At Red we’ve realised there are two types of people:

  1. Those who suffer through it.
  2. Those who throw on an EVO Pro Changing Robe and get to enjoy the rest of time out.

And it’s not just everyday Aussies choosing our market-leading waterproof changing robe making that choice, it’s some of the world’s most recognisable names too.

When Antarctica calls, you don’t pack a towel 

When Chris Hemsworth (AKA Thor) and 3x world surfing champion Mick Fanning headed to Antarctica for Limitless on Disney+, things got properly cold. 

We’re talking ocean immersion, biting wind, and conditions that make a winter morning in Victoria feel like Bali. That’s exactly where a proper surf robe, specifically the EVO Pro Changing Robe, came in: throw it on, warm up fast, keep moving.

Even the king of cold needs one 

In Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof, contestants push into extreme cold exposure challenges designed to test mind and body. 

That’s why the super-soft, fleece-lined EVO Pro Changing Robe shows up between ice bath sessions. Because even “The Iceman” doesn’t hang around in a wet towel pretending he’s fine.

From global sets to Aussie TV drama 

The EVO Pro waterproof changing robe isn’t just hanging out in frozen wilderness and ice-bath TV shows. 

It’s also been spotted on productions like Squid Game, where long outdoor shoots and unpredictable conditions mean the cast and crew need something warm between takes. Enter our ultimate surf robe.

Closer to home, it’s become a quiet staple on shows like Home and Away, where early call times, and long days on the beach are basically part of the job description. 

Different worlds. Same problem: don’t be uncomfortable while waiting around.

So why? 

The EVO Pro Changing Robe isn’t complicated and that’s kind of the point. 

It’s a durable beach robe built for: 

  • Early morning surf checks where the wind gets you 
  • Cold swims that feel great until you get out 
  • Blocking wind, rain, and questionable weather decisions  
  • Changing anywhere without performing acrobatics behind a towel  
  • Staying comfortable between surf, swim, or “just one more set”  

 

From Hollywood names to world champions, to everyday Aussie Ocean lovers who just want to get warm faster, it’s become the default layer you didn’t know you needed… until you’ve got one.
