How Did We Choose The Best Robes

If you look at the robe reviews on most sites, you get the impression that every robe for a few dozen dollars will give you unfathomable comfort and bliss. Because of such advertising stamps, people generally stop trusting online media and end up buying the first robe they see in the shop window.

That is why we decided to choose a bathrobe from the point of view of an average citizen who occasionally takes a hot tub at home or in a spa. We found out what quality criteria real user need, and based on them we chose the 5 best models for each type of buyer.

  • First of all, we looked at robes of different types with the highest rating;
  • We found 20 models which can be worn after hot tub;
  • Then we selected 8 models for a detailed review (excluded outdated ones or models with fewer reviews);
  • After that, we analyzed more than 100 customer reviews.

This methodology helps us understand what is most important for spa robes users. We were able to highlight the best criteria for each model. After comparing our results, we listed the top 5 robes for hot tub. You can see our calculation methodology in the picture below.

What To Pay Attention To When Choosing Robes

A robe is a part of personal hygiene, so the choice of this robe should be treated very carefully:

  1. Firstly, the robe must absorb water well. Since when you get out of the hot tub completely wet, you put on the robe not just to cover yourself from the surrounding drafts, but to dry off completely, then the robe should absorb every drop of water.

For example, Chamois Microfiber Kimono Robe (review), made entirely of microfiber, absorbs every drop of water from your body five times faster than any other cotton robe.

  1. Second, the robe should completely cover your body. If you feel the coolness in your legs after wearing a robe, consider that you have remained undressed. In order to fully warm up the body after water recreation, your whole body needs to be warmed up. 

Arus Men’s Fleece Robe (review) is just such a robe. Thanks to the warm fleece material, you will immerse yourself in a warm atmosphere that you will not even feel the surrounding coolness.

  1. Of course, the robe should be aesthetically attractive. Although the robe is a robe, it is still a suit, so you should personally like the texture and color of this outfit.

For example, AW BRIDAL Couple’s Cotton Robes (review) looks very aesthetic and sexy. In addition, this model comes in 25 different colors and monograms. Obviously, everyone will be able to choose the best option for themselves from such a variety.

Although buying a bathrobe looks like a simple matter, you need to take into account a lot of factors, so that in the end you can relax after hot tub. 

A Detailed Review Of Each Model

Arus Men’s Fleece Robe — Best For Men

Best for men

Material100% Polyester
LengthAnkle-LengthLong
StyleHooded
Variation5 Colors

Pros

  • The only robe that completely wraps the body up to the ankles;
  • Softest premium fleece material;
  • Withstands machine washing;
  • Wide cut hood

Cons

  • If you don’t dry yourself with a towel, the robe will absorb water for too long;
  • Polyester can be too hard for delicate skin

A large number of men visit spas. Even more men enjoy hot tubs at home. Regardless of the place in which a man is used to relaxing, he definitely needs a robe that can be draped over a wet body so as not to worry that some breeze will blow overheated muscles. The best option for this is the Arus Men’s Fleece Robe.

You can completely wrap your whole body in this soft and long robe. Not a single centimeter of arms and legs will be exposed to drafts. Even the hair will be covered with a hood, as in the robes of professional athletes who put them on after extreme water exercises.

Unfortunately, immediately after exiting the water, you will still have to dry yourself with a towel first. Since, unlike the absorbent Chamois Microfiber Kimono Robe (review), this robe is made of polyester, it cannot immediately absorb all the water. So in order not to catch a cold, you must first use a towel. 

UGG Women’s Blanche II Robe — Best For Women  

Best for women

Material92% Cotton, 8% Elastane
Length39 1/2” center back length [Size S]
StyleHigh-low hem
Variation8 Colors

Pros

  • The most emphasizes the aesthetics of the body due to the elastic material;
  • The lightest wearing due to knit fleece;
  • Withstands machine washing;
  • A large model range

Cons

  • Too short for tall women;
  • Low collar

Women are much more particular about their outfit than men, regardless of whether it is an evening dress or a bathing suit. That is why women make such a huge number of demands on a robe for a hydromassage hot tub. It should be aesthetic and comfortable, light and warm, soft and elastic. It seems that no manufacturer can simultaneously satisfy such needs. However, model UGG Women’s Blanche II Robe is satisfactory.

This robe is made of elastane and cotton. Cotton does not weigh down the body, so this robe is very light and comfortable. At the same time, elastin inserts harmoniously emphasize your figure and allow you to feel confident and relaxed in this robe.

Unfortunately, unlike AW BRIDAL Couple’s Cotton Robes (review) this robe is not suitable for tall women, as even in the largest models its skirt is too short. However, if you’re not above average height (100 kg) and looking for a hot tub robe, you won’t find a better option.

AW BRIDAL Couple’s Cotton Robes — Best For Couples

Best for couples

Material100% Cotton
LengthMid-calf
StyleSet robes
Variation25 colors and monogrames

Pros

  • The only style that suits both men and women;
  • The couple robes’ embroidered monograms;
  • Mercerizing to prevent shrinkage;
  • Soft absorbent terrycloth lining

Cons

  • Thin for use in winter;
  • Set may not fit if the man and woman have too different physiques and heights

If you like to do spa treatments together with your loved one, then you need robes that will demonstrate that you are a couple in love. For this, the AW BRIDAL Couple’s Cotton Robes is best suited.

These robes are made in a style that is perfect for both men and women. Wearing such a robe, a woman will not feel as if she took her husband’s clothes. And the man will not look as if the robe is too small for him. In addition to the similar style and color, these robes have a variety of embroidered monograms that symbolize love and harmony. Also, thanks to the mercerization technology, which fastens the fibers of the robe, these robes almost dry very quickly so they will last you for many years.

Unfortunately, if you and your loved one have very different physiques, then the specified size may not fit one of you. Therefore, in such a situation, we recommend buying separate robes, such as Arus Men’s Fleece Robe (review) and UGG Women’s Blanche II Robe (review). However if you are quite similar in physique, then AW BRIDAL Couple’s Cotton Robes is the best option for you.

Turquaz Linen Unisex Spa Robes — Best Unisex Robe

Best unisex robe

Material60% Cotton, 40% Polyester
LengthCloses the knees
StyleFor pool and spa
Variation11 colores

Pros

  • Only robe, the shape of which adapts to both the male and female body;               
  • Most durability due to double stitching;                                                                  
  • Withstands machine washing;                                                                  
  • Large size line

Cons

  • The material is too hard for delicate skin;
  • Short for tall people

If you have a non-standard figure, then finding the right size spa robe can be very problematic for you, because manufacturers make according wear to a clearly defined size grid. In this case, an alternative can be a unisex robe, for example, Turquaz Linen Unisex Spa Robes.

The most slim man and the most stocky woman will feel comfortable in this robe. Thanks to the combination of cotton and polyester, this robe adapts to any body shape, both male and female. A large size range ensures that anyone will be able to choose a robe that is suitable in size for them.

Of course, this adaptation dictates that the material of this robe is quite rough, so unlike Chamois Microfiber Kimono Robe (review), it will not be suitable for very delicate skin. However, if your skin tolerates sweaters and polyester t-shirts, then this robe will not cause you any irritation. Therefore, if you cannot find a robe of the right size for you, Turquaz Linen Unisex Spa Robes is the best robe for you.

Chamois Microfiber Kimono Robe — Best Robe For Spa 

Best robe for spa

Material100% True Microfiber
LengthCloses the knees
StyleFor water activities
Variation3 colors

Pros

  • 5 times faster water absorption compared to competitors;
  • Exclusive Chamois fabric is super soft, wrinkle resistant and will not shrink;
  • Adapts to any type of figure;
  • Easy to carry as takes up little space in the bag

Cons

  • Too thin to use in cool weather;
  • Fabric may wrinkle if stored carelessly

If you enjoy spa treatments not at home, but at a spa center, then you need a robe that is as portable as possible and will literally absorb all the moisture in an instant. Chamois Microfiber Kimono Robe offers such possibilities.

This robe is made from 100% genuine microfiber, which absorbs moisture 5 times faster than cotton. That is, you will not have to drag your towel with you to the spa center, or use a corporate kit of dubious hygiene. Just throw on the robe and your whole body will be dry in seconds. Also, thanks to the kimono style, this robe is easy to fold and does not take up much space during transport

However, the kimono format means that the robe is made of a light fabric, so unlike the Arus Men’s Fleece Robe (review), it can be cold in winter. If you visit a professional spa, it is most likely well heated and you will not feel any cold.

What Are The Types Of Robes For Hot Tub

A robe for a hot tub is not just a robe. This item of clothing must absorb large volumes of water and retain your body heat, so there are different variations of such robes.

Warm Hot Tub Robes

Warm hot tub robes are made of cotton. These are turtleneck robes that you can wrap yourself in after getting out of the hot tub and enjoy relaxing in the warmth and coziness. However, in warm seasons, such a robe can be too hot. So, if your room is not air-conditioned, you can get heat stroke in such a robe. Also, they are very heavy and bulky, so it is difficult to transport and store.

We can only recommend warm robes if you have a hot tub at home, as transporting such a robe to the spa is too problematic.

Lightwear Kimono

Kimono robes are made of light fabric, so your skin will breathe and relax in such a lightwear kimono. However, this fabric can be a bit too much to wear in colder seasons if the hot tub is not heated.

Therefore, in our opinion, such a robe should be chosen if you take a hydromassage bath in a spa center in which the temperature is regulated by a special system. Also, the tailoring of the kimono allows it to be stored very compactly, so if you visit the spa, you don’t have to worry about the robe taking up a lot of space in your purse.

Care And Maintenance 

You will wear a bathrobe for a hydromassage bath quite often, so it is worth knowing certain rules that will help to avoid wear and tear of the bathrobe, and will preserve its appearance for many years:

1. Use a stain remover. If you smeared your robe, soak it in a special agent for the first 10-15 minutes. If you do this, then the probability of removing any stains becomes much greater;

2. Wash your dressing gown no more than once every 2 weeks. You might think that washing your spa robes more often will help keep them looking good longer. However, since these robes are made of very sensitive fabric, frequent washing only has a negative effect on them;

3. Rarely fold your robe. The seams of the delicate fabric can break if folded carelessly, so fold your robe carefully, and even better, store it unfolded on a hanger.

In general, all these tips are universal in relation to the care of any clothes. Following them, any robe will last a long time and please you for many years.

Summary 

In general, a robe for a hot tub is a must-have item of clothing if you have a home hot tub or you visit a spa. It allows you not to feel drafts that cover the body immediately after leaving the hot tub, but to immerse yourself in a warm fabric and enjoy your rest.

So, if you’re wondering whether you should buy a hot tub robe or continue to using towel, we can say with confidence: yes, you should.

Hi, I’m Peter Rossi, a professional hot tub designer and founder of ByRossi. After having spent over 10 years designing hot tubs for Jacuzzi Group, I started a private practice. Now I design bespoke hot tubs for high-end apartments. I am based in New York, but my clients are all over the world – from San Francisco to Paris, Dubai, London and Tokyo. One thing I enjoy is writing. Hot tubs manufacturers have always been notorious for pushing cheap, subpar products for crazy prices, making profits on naive first-time buyers. So I consider it my social mission to share my expertise and educate clients on who is who in the industry. Lately, I started to work with other people who help me to develop the business. In particular, a couple of great researchers and veteran journalists help me convert my raw thoughts into beautiful articles which you might enjoy reading on ByRossi. Hope my efforts help.
