Great Aussie Swim Parkas (Swim Jacket/Robe Men, Women, Youth

bought this for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. Looks great, fits well, keeps car seat dry. keeps her warm on chilly days. My only little annoyance with this is that the zipper is a little difficult for her to manipulate as it is a two way zipper. That could be because she is just nine and this is the first zipper like this she has used. Even for me it is just slightly tricky to start but works well once you get it started. I would still recommend this product.Update as of Dec 2017: This parka has held up so well and still fits her even though she is now truly a size 14-16 in girls clothing. She uses it 6 days a week at practice and all day long at swim meets. Still looks great. Definitely recommend this parka

I only swim for recreation and health, so when I wear this I do feel like a poser swim team athlete. But I don't care! I wear it to the pool and just zip it off and I'm ready to swim. I come out of the pool, don't even towel off, and zip up and I am back in the car to go home. This makes the effort of swimming less, thus obviating any excuses for not going to the pool. It's warm for cool days, but probably not as toasty as fleece. The jacket is really heavy, as essentially you're wearing a towel encased in water resistant nylon. Like others mentioned, the double ended zipper can be finicky and fiddly to zip up which can frustrate when you're trying to get warmed and out fast. I have been very happy with my swim parka and it makes getting in and out of the pool really trouble free.

This is a great swim parka. My daughter uses every day that she swims, which is 3 times a week. It's thick so it keeps her warm and my seats dry. She is 9 and I got her the size 8. It comes down just past her knees. My daughter actually likes the terry cloth material on the inside. She says it feels just like a warm towel... soft and cozy.

This is just huge on me. I’m 5’4”, just about covers my ankles. It should be shown on a model! The reviews said it ran small. Ordered a Med. I’m a 73yr. old women & wear a size 8. I missed the return date by eight days. May I still return or at least get a size Small? Thank You in advance! I’m giving 2 stars as it’s very warm, but too big & heavy to use as a robe.

Just what I needed for winter water aerobics! Keeps me warm go and coming to the pool.

Too heavy for a strong 10-year-old boy to wear. Takes a long time to dry in the dryer too.

I really like the color and style of this swim coat. It's warm and cozy to go to the pool and between classes, to a point. However, because it is terry inside, it absorbs the moisture from a wet suit and the inside gets wet very quickly and then is less cozy after putting on a couple times on a wet suit and also it is very heavy. It also can take a long time to dry if it's not warm enough to hang outside.The outside is nicely water resistant to wear to pool even if it is rainy.

Ok, I'm a wimp. I live in south Florida, and love to swim laps all year. I love jumping out of the pool into this COZY parka. I'm 5'8" and got an XL. It IS large. It fits my 6'2" hubby comfortably too. He teased me for buying this for south Florida, but now wants MINE. I will get a large for me. COZY, WARM, SOFT, ROOMY and keeps my car bone dry. I )now WE) are thrilled!
