    It's the least funny meme out there. People wear some sort of faddy coat to warm up and go for a coffee after a 'sea swim' and the seasoned vets are up in arms over it :confused:

    Let people wear what they want. I get part of it is more just like viewing it as an absurd cringe trend, but there also seems to be an air of '' you've crossed into our turf'' tribal slant to the hatred of this pretty forgettable item of clothing.

    Defo. Some of those gray haired salt of the earth 40ft "Guardians" are very territorial, sour and unwelcoming.

    I'm pretty sure the whole meme was started by someone who sells dry robes to raise awareness and make more sales of them.

    I think you are missing the point.
    It’s the new pyjamas, people are wearing them as normal wear on days that they don’t get into the water. I believe they’ve been seen on the streets of Tipperary

    Snobbery at it's best with locals. Seen local folk walk out their front doors donning their white dressing gowns and walk over and have a swim. Same thing. Cmon lads move on way more important stuff to complain about
