Akida Oversized Changing Robe/Swim Parka,Waterproof Surf Poncho Warm Coat Jacket,Quick Dry Wetsuit Changing Towel.

We like to use our kayak but it’s generally cool when we get off the water and we are usually pretty damp.My daughter is the shy one and she can easily remove her wet clothes and change into dry ones. She’ll actually keep the coat on for warmth or use it as a blanket (it’s pretty heavy) on the long ride home.It’s huge and heavy so it has to stay in the car until needed. It’s so large - I can wear it (I’m an xxl usually and she’s a medium).

This is definitely a high quality swim parka - the materials and construction are very good. The pockets are cavernous and the zippers are beefy and operate smoothly without snags. It will keep you warm. I'm 6'1" 220 lbs and I am at the top end of size Large, sometimes I'll size up if it's a slim fit or cut small. I ordered size Large since this is an oversized garment. This thing is ginormous on me, to the point that I feel a bit ridiculous. If you don't plan on using it to change and only to keep dry and warm on a cold day while swimming at the pool or beach, then I strongly recommend you size down one.As mentioned by another review, the branding logos are a bit much. I usually don't care, but these are even too much for me. Particularly the logo on the back; the front isn't too bad, about what I'd expect relative to the size of the robe. People would think my name is Akida, it's so pronounced on the back, maybe reading it as "Akida's robe".Well, I can't really ding it many stars as it does do as advertised very well. Be aware of the sizing and what you intend to use it for, and whether you're okay acting as a walking billboard.

Perfect way to keep your swimmer dry and warm, the sizing is a bit large but thankfully my son will be able to grow into it. I agree with the other reviewer in that the logos are very loud but as long as it keeps my son warm I'm sure he won't mind.

I ordered this robe for winter walks to and from the hot tub. The robe is really over sized and heavy which makes it feel very loose fitting. The robe has a double zipper in front which makes it easy to step into and out of without un-zipping the entire thing. The robe also comes with internal pockets that are water proof to hold a phone. I wouldn't call it water proof, but it is certainly water resistant enough to make water bead up with a small amount of light rain. I haven't been able able to test this out in really cold temps (since it's may) but it does feel pretty warm, and I think it will do just fine in -10degrees for short periods. Overall, this is exactly what I was expecting.

So I do a decent amount of cold water diving and I live in interior Alaska so I saw many possibilities for this product. It is very oversized which is perfect for what it's designed for, I ordered the xl and I'm 6'0 and wear a size 2xl, this coat was big enough for me to get fully undressed and dressed inside of it with no issues, it's also super long and goes down to my knees. I'll honestly use this more as a winter coat to go outside when I take my dog out at 40 below as it will be big enough to put over whatever I'm wearing and keep me toasty warm as well as dry from the snow. It's fairly heavy so keep that in mind if you plan on putting it in a bag with your diving gear, but in cold weather dives, it's totally worth lugging it along.

This coat is heavy, and built for the heavy cold. That cold that just sinks down on you.I'm talking north seas, and Great Lakes cold.It's a little too big and heavy for my SCUBA bag, but would work great for winter shore dives or for someone who owns their own boat.Even with the weight, it's a very nice coat with great pockets inside and out, except there are two things which I have big problems with.The first is the huge embroidered name of the company on the back. I'm not a huge fan of the advertising, but most importantly there is no way it can be waterproof with all the stitching. If you want waterproof, stay away from unnecessary stitching.Second, the zipper is junk. It's clumsy to start, where the plastic zippers don't want to meetup well and it will only get worse when on a boat, wet, cold, and franticly trying to zip it. Once zipped it's not bad, but I already know it won't get zipped much because I already know the troubles it will cause.The two problems are kind of unfortunate, because otherwise it really is a nice cold weather coat. It could have been a serious and trustworthy item I really wanted it to be.

I recently had the opportunity to try out an oversized changing robe/swim parka, and I have to say, it's an impressive piece of clothing. The materials used are of excellent quality, and it's incredibly warm and cozy on the inside. The zipper is also robust and sturdy, which is always a plus.However, I do have a few concerns with the product that are worth mentioning. Firstly, the logo displayed on the chest is quite large and could be a deal-breaker for some people, myself included. The logo on the back is ridiculously big. I prefer a more subtle branding approach and wouldn't want to feel like a walking advertisement for a company.Secondly, the sizing is a bit off. I ordered an XL, but it was so enormous that it would only fit someone the size of Shaquille O'Neal. I think it's important to note that if you do decide to purchase this product, you may want to consider sizing down.Overall, despite the logo and sizing issues, the quality of the product is undeniable. If you don't mind the branding and can find the right size, this oversized changing robe/swim parka is an excellent choice.

We purchased this thinking would fit our 9 year old., but it was extremely large. This is for adults. Had it fit my child it would have been a great product.
