It is warm and soft. I haven't had a chance to wash it yet, so we will see how it holds up.

What a wonderful way to get to and from the pool in winter. How did I ever manage without it. If I hang it inside out, it's dry in 10 minutes.

I got an Adult M for my 4' 5" and an Adult L for my 4' 10" kids.  They are too big for the kids as expected because I want it to last.  The end of the sleeves are gathered in elastic and the length is good (past their calves).  I actually expected the parkas to be larger (I'm 5' 2" and I would get the L for myself as I like roomy and long, although I fit in the M).  They're not as warm as more expensive parkas that I've seen, but they do the job and the kids like them.  I had to spray the fleece with anti-static guard.  I'm happy for what we got for the price ($50).  As for swimoutlet, they were fast, but one was in the wrong color.  I used live chat and they were very nice about it.  They sent me the correct color and emailed me a shipping label, so they paid for the return shipping as well.  I would do business with them again.

The parka is great.  I purchased 2 for my children and they love them.  They are able to stay warm after swimming at meets or practices.  It is a comfort for  me to know they are not wet and cold  and that  they will wear them becuase they are cool !

My son plays waterpolo, and he says this parka keeps him dry and warm. I thought the quality of the parka was very impressive. I would recommend this website for all my sons sports.

Water aerobics is the kind of exercise I've needed all my life.  With the parka, I'll be able to continue working out even in the California winter.  I will be all snug and warm once I make it across the pool deck and put on the parka.

It took me a while to get used to the two-way zipper, but now it's great, I can sit down and drive without removing the parka.
