The best robe changes with the season and your climate. From our Orange County, California studio, here's how to choose for warm or cold.
Warm weather & hot climates
Go light and breathable: a waffle robe (60% cotton / 40% polyester) warms you after a shower without overheating, and dries fast.
Cold weather & winter
Go warm and cozy: a plush robe (100% polyester) is the thick, hold-the-heat option for cold mornings.
Year-round
If you want one robe for all seasons, waffle is the most versatile — light enough for summer, warm enough indoors.
