Pursuit or EVO Pro? How To Choose Your Red Changing Robe

Our latest innovations in the dry changing robe market - the new Pursuit Robe and EVO Pro robe - both set a new standard of changing robe. They are both amazing garments, and there is a place for both in anyone’s outdoor kit.

If you need to pick one and are struggling to choose between our latest changing robe innovations, this guide helps to explain the main differences between the Pursuit and the EVO Pro.

When it comes to Red changing robes, they are much more than just alternatives to the conventional style of robes to keep you dry and warm. With both styles you will find high quality construction, clever design, premium features, recycled fabrics, and bulk-free effortless style with subtle branding. Super comfortable and effortless to wear, both dry changing robes are waterproof with moisture wicking linings that you can put on when wet or over a wetsuit.

EVO Pro - Key Differences

The EVO Pro delivers an enviable 15k Waterproof / 8k Breathable technical performance, and the PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) ensures excellent water run-off. That makes the EVO Pro one of if not the most waterproof changing robes available on the market.

The liner is made from a thick fluffy sherpa style fleece which is both incredibly soft to the touch, as well as being super insulating. The new improved style of hood is deep and adjustable, with a peak to keep the elements out, and the long roll down cuffs provide extra hand coverage if needed - so if you are looking for a dry changing robe to keep you warm on a cold, wet, windy day – the EVO Pro is your best bet.

An additional feature is the light reflecting details on the cuff and logo, to help keep you seen in low light conditions which might be a consideration if you are wearing your robe on dark evenings or pre-dawn starts.

Pursuit Robe - Key Differences

The Pursuit is a progressive new style of Red changing robe. Born out of the desire to create something highly functional with all the benefits of a robe, but in a more slimline, lightweight, fitted package, there is also an adjustable waist.

The Pursuit design is perfectly suited to pre and post sport. Stretch in the fabric means movement is effortless, so if you are wearing your robe to set up or break down gear, it won’t get in your way. The fabric provides waterproof protection, but what really sets it apart is its best-in-class breathability (30K)– so if you are cooling down after exercise, it will still feel comfortable without overheating you.

Pursuit is lighter weight than EVO Pro (23% lighter on average), with a grid fleece instead of the fluffy liner, and they also pack down small (62% less folded volume before compression), so make a fantastic choice if you want your changing robe to travel with you.

Due to this lightweight design, it also means the Pursuit is easier to wash and quicker to dry, which might be a consideration if you are wearing your robe when dirty or sweaty.

Finally, both robes work brilliantly as changing robes. The EVO Pro’s changing functionality is built in, whereas for the Pursuit robe, simply unzip the side vents to create a generous sized changing compartment, or when zipped up, you have a fitted slimline garment that works as a smart technical jacket.
