Northcore Part One
Northcore have such a diverse range of essentials, a lot of them sustainable all of them durable and long-lasting -
The changing robe concept has been embraced by surfers and outdoor sportsmen and women the world over and for good reason. It is one of the most useful pieces of gear you’ll ever own and the Northcore Beach Basha is one of the finest examples on the market.
Sometimes a changing robe needs to offer maximum protection from the elements and additional warmth during times like surf checks on cold or rainy days. So we have created a unique, proprietary design which we’ve called Beach Basha Pro.
Our 380gsm 100% cotton towelling Beach Basha robe offers optimum drying performance and privacy for changing. Plus the thermal properties of the thick material provides insulation against the cold. The Beach Basha Pro adds further versatility and protection by incorporating an extra layer of a weather-resistant heavy duty outer hard shell. The hard shell cleverly zips onto the inner towelling robe to produce a rugged, performance, convertible changing robe. Not only can the Beach Basha Pro be worn as a complete set in Autumn/Winter when the weather or conditions call for it but it can also be converted. It’s possible to use the inner layer only during the Spring/Summer just as a towelling robe and even as a beach towel as it can be opened into a towel when unzipped.
Each layer has a heavy-duty double ended plastic zip which can zip up each layer individually or be zipped together to create a single robe. To further integrate the two layers into one, the hood and wrists have velcro connecting strips to ensure a great fit.
For changing, the inner armholes have a wide opening so arms can be pulled inside for privacy, there are fleece-lined pockets to keep hands toasty warm, the hood is a triple panel for an ergonomic fit so great on cold or windy days. The Beach Basha Pro is a unisex garment and one size fits all.
The Beach Basha Pro is four seasons, multifunction and convertible making it the most unique and versatile changing robe on the market.
