The gap between the shower and being dressed is the coldest few minutes of a morning, and a bathrobe closes it — which is why it is a bathroom essential rather than a luxury. The hood is the useful detail most robes lack: it deals with wet hair, which is otherwise what keeps your back and shoulders cold long after the rest of you has dried. Made from soft microfibre fleece, it is warm for its weight, dries quickly after washing, and feels gentle against skin. It works after bathing, while relaxing at home, and on cooler mornings and highland evenings. Available in several colours and in L, XL and XXL.

Buying guide
Wash fleece on a cool gentle cycle without fabric softener — softener coats the fibres and flattens the pile that does the insulating, and it also reduces absorbency. Air dry rather than using high heat, which can mat synthetic fleece permanently. Hang the robe to dry between uses rather than leaving it folded damp, which is where any bathroom textile develops odour. Fleece attracts lint, so wash it separately from towels. If you are between sizes, size up: a robe should wrap comfortably rather than pulling across the shoulders.
How it compares
Against a towel, a robe frees your hands and keeps you warm while you do something else. Against a cotton towelling robe, microfibre fleece is lighter, warmer for its weight and dries far faster after washing, though cotton absorbs more. For a guest room, a robe is what makes a bathroom feel like a hotel.
