Really warm jacket. I purchased this for my 7 year old and we bought the Youth Medium. It fits great and I love the fact it doesn't have tight elastics around the wrists. The adjustable velcro makes it easy for him to get in and out while he is wet. There are plenty of pockets to place goggles, sunscreen, etc.
My 7 year old loves his new jacket, especially now that the weather has gotten colder. The lining is warm and he can just throw it on right after getting out of the pool! It is true to size. We purchased the Youth Medium and fits great.He loves having the 'special' pockets to put his goggles and small treat for after swimming!
A little on the small side. I purchased size 12-14 for my 9 year old. It covers to his upper thigh. I would like it to be a bit longer.
My tall 6-year-old daughter uses this for winter swim team meets. Bought a red one last year because that's what she wanted, but it wasn't in team colors; this year bought a new one in team colors (blue). I took it to an embroiderer to have team logo placed on back and her name on front. Warm and well-made. Sleeves a little long, but we roll them up. I like the fact that sleeves are not elastic and binding. Would definitely buy again, but I think the item is about $15 overpriced even considering the high quality. Prompt delivery and great service, as usual from SwimOutlet.
I bought this parka for my son for after practices in late spring at the outdoor pool. He loves it. He is able to warm up much quicker than with just a towel. He also liked the pockets for goggles, cards, etc. Very nice.
I couldn't believe the price on this Deck Coat. I searched and searched the internet for a better price. You can not beat SwimOutlets price anywhere. This Deck Coat has all the bells and whistles. I offered to buy my boys custom colored Deck Coats at a higher price and they all said no. They wanted the TYR Alliance Deck Coat because it has a cell phone pocket, goggles pocket and one for your Ipod. It had to have an Ipod pocket. So they could have their music readily available when they have down time inbetween events. We have been extemely happy with this coat. My boys are 16,10 & 6 years of age and they all love this Deck Coat. Oh, I almost forgot that SwimOutlet always delivers when they say they will and usually before the delivery date.
