I'm deciding how long I must wait to buy a second in another color. Professional coach / open water swimmer approved!
I am beyond delighted with this changing robe! Not only am I a swimmer, but I coach swimming and water polo in the pool and open water in San Francisco Bay, so all of my coaching is outside and requires enduring the elements. I've spent 30+ years in swim parkas of all brands and they've always been wonderful, but never with fully waterproof seams, often heavy, and frankly in boring colors. I've left many a rainy coaching practice miserable and wet.
I think I fell in love with this changing robe in Sage Green almost instantly. It's sooo soft and warm and has already withstood torrential rain. I LOVE the hood. It's always been the pain point with previous parkas in the rain. And the hot water bottle pocket / underwear holder....is perfection. I'm also impressed with how light it is and how well it packs down.
I am 5'8" and went with a Large because I prefer my parkas to go below my knees. It's the perfect size. Considering I spend a majority of my life in and around pool decks, beaches, and around other swimmers I have to tend to, I'm trying to justify how long I must wait to order a second in another color to have on hand :)
