A hooded robe with a soft terry interior and a smoother exterior, built for post-shower, gym, and pool use.
DUDE Robe found a real niche: a hooded robe that's absorbent inside like a towel but looks less bathrobe-y outside, with a waffle-lined hood and towel-cloth pockets. It's marketed to men and works great for gym and pool. It's pricey for what it is and heavier when wet, but it's a genuinely useful hybrid.
