When you think of a waterproof changing robe or swim parka, your mind probably jumps immediately to open water, paddleboarding, or cheering on from the sidelines. After all, this is exactly what they’re built for.
However, if there’s one thing these various changing robe uses highlight, it’s just how versatile they are. Ours - the EVO Pro Waterproof Changing Robe - can handle pretty much everything. Yes, it can dry you off after a cold dip, but it can also battle away the elements, keep you comfortable for long periods of time, and adapt to changing uses. This is exactly why we’re seeing it come into its own for a pretty surprising environment: on film sets and outdoor productions.
When you strip it back, the perfect crew cover coat needs to do a few things. It has to keep teams warm when standing around for long periods, protecting them from unpredictable conditions at the same time. It also needs to be practical, durable, and comfortable enough to wear all day. The EVO Pro changing robe can deliver all of this. Here’s why it’s fast becoming the go-to crew cover coat for production teams.
You’ll be well aware that production doesn’t always stop just because the weather turns. The weather can affect things in a number of ways, whether it’s wind cutting across exposed location shoots or rain rolling in when you’re in between takes. In these situations, crews need gear they can rely on, and the EVO Pro is built for exactly that.
With a 15k waterproof outer shell, this waterproof changing robe provides serious protection against changing conditions. The full-coverage hood with toggled peak also adds extra protection and keeps visibility clear when conditions worsen.
Anyone who’s spent time on set will know that a lot of the job is waiting. It’s in these moments that warmth becomes non-negotiable. Fortunately, the EVO Pro’s plush sherpa fleece lining adds an extra layer of insulation so you can stay dry and comfortable no matter how long the wait is. The sherpa fleece is designed to trap heat effectively, helping to keep your core temperature stable even when stationary for long stretches.
That said, crew life isn’t all standing still. For as long as you spend waiting around, just as much time is spent hauling kit around and moving between locations. In these circumstances, the breathability of your crew coat matters just as much as its insulation and waterproofing.
The EVO Pro changing robe makes a fantastic crew coat because it is also rated 8k breathable. In simple terms, this means heat and moisture can escape effectively when you’re on the move. You won’t feel overheated or restricted, even if you have to break into a jog between sets and setups.
Convenience is everything when you’re on set. The less you have to carry separately, the better. As a crew coat, the EVO Pro really comes into its own on this front, as it’s packed with practical features and functionality built in. The fleece-lined pockets are perfect for keeping hands warm, while ample internal storage and stash space mean you can keep radios and call sheets close to hand and protected.
Production gear takes a beating, being used day in, day out. Add different locations and changing conditions to this mix, and your cover coats must be exceptionally durable.
Our waterproof changing robes are built to last, and it’s this durability that translates perfectly into production crew use. The EVO Pro features a two-layer outer shell made from recycled polyester, combining sustainability with unbeatable performance. The premium matte finish also gives it a clean and professional look on set, still withstanding repeated use without losing its shape or effectiveness.
Perhaps the most surprising feature of our EVO Pro robes is that they are completely customisable. Each robe can be personalised to represent your company or production. You can add logos, department names, and branding to the front and back of each robe via heat press printing and embroidery, creating a cohesive and easily identifiable look.
The waterproof changing robe also features minimal branding, unlike similar jackets from other brands, so crews will never feel like a walking advert for someone else.
While the demands of a production set are unique and the perfect crew coat needs to meet them, the Pro Change Robe EVO is more than up to the job. Warm when you need it most, breathable when you don’t, it’s practical in all the ways that matter on set.
