2. Northcore Changing Mat
RRP: €26.99
This tough, waterproof bag folds out into a flat 1m diameter changing mat you can stand on whilst getting changed. It’s perfect for use in carparks when getting out of wetsuits. It also makes a perfect gift for hardy-year round sea swimmers – getting changed on a mat is a game changer for those freezing winter mornings. And then when you are done you can throw all the wet gear onto the mat and zip it up into a bag! The material is fully waterproof and very heavy duty so can be washed down and won’t leak if a wetsuit is left inside it.
