There's something about the Rocky movies that stirs the manliness in all of us down at gadgetshop HQ. Even the ladies profess to being moved by all that flying spittle, sweat and testosterone.

We see Rocky as a metaphor for life, of course, not a film about an incoherent Italian-American boxer and a woman strangely known as Adrian.

So if your life is like a boxing match - all Vaseline and drunken lolling-about - you could do much, much worse than invest in this authentic Rocky Balboa Bath Robe. Officially licensed from the makers of the movie, it's a true-to-life replica of the real thing, last seen rippling on Sly Stallone's impressive frame.

Spun from pure polysatin, and boasting our heroe's stallion logo and trademark golden-yellow trim, pop one of these on after you've had a refreshing shower and you will, as our American cousins put it, be both 'psyched' and 'pumped'. Whatever that means.

And, in a specially considerate touch, it even comes with a hood, for those of us who simply can't do without one at any time or in any place.

As Rocky himself would have it: "Mwahdda gedda lookalikame? Gedda Roggy badrobe, Adrian." And we couldn't put it better ourselves.
