The bathrobe is indispensable in the life of sportsmen, whatever discipline they practice, as after sport they will surely take a shower. Needless to underline how important it is in the life of the swimmer, who will make extensive use of it between changing rooms and swimming pool, perhaps wearing it before a competition to keep the muscles warm or just out of the pool so as not to cool down silk kimono robe.
To choose the bathrobe dedicated to a sports audience, you choose models made of hypoallergenic and very breathable sponge, not particularly heavy and therefore easily transportable in the gym or swimming bag, available in different versions that differ in the presence or not of the cap, and for the length. The models for professional swimmers in fact usually do not have a hood as the hair is already protected by the cap and are not even very long and offer an excellent fit and comfort in order to allow the swimmer to warm up without hindrance before get into the tub. Also in this case it is advisable to try it personally before purchasing in order to verify that its characteristics correspond to your needs.
In the sports sector, bathrobes are all made of cotton terry, which is the ideal material to avoid unwanted temperature changes. In addition, this fabric is particularly resistant to both repeated washing and high washing temperatures and to any additive you can think of to put in the washing machine: this is because swimming pools and gym bathrooms are frequented by many people and it is therefore easy for microbes and bacteria find in the bathrobe an ideal place to proliferate, so it is necessary to wash it often and well, consequently the fabric with which it is made must be particularly resistant.
In this regard, it is also inadvisable to wear a companion’s bathrobe by mistake, so it would be better to personalize it with your initials. As for the color of the bathrobe, usually the colors that are most popular in sports models are dark ones, therefore blue, black and gray, often in combination with slippers. The sporty models for women, on the other hand, also have models with lighter shades available.
WHERE TO BUY THE BATHROBE AND HOW MUCH IT COSTS
Bathrobes can be purchased in the points of sale of linen for the bathroom and for the home if you want a particularly beautiful bathrobe or made with a particular fabric or color. If, on the other hand, you want a “normal” bathrobe for every day, you can also find many in shopping centers and supermarkets, obviously in the linen departments: in this case the costs are considerably reduced.
