Speedo Color Block Parka Reviews

10/21/2015 AMAZING!!

By Swimma gurlll

I LOVE my new parka!! I am 5'2 and 108 lb. and the small fits wonderfully. It is very loose and roomy, and comes down to about mid calf. The color on it is great (I got the Kelly green). I love all the pockets that it has, and the color block design is awesome. The shipping on it is amazing, I ordered on Wednesday hoping it would be here for Friday meet, it arrived Friday at 9:30 A.M.!! Never had a package arrive that early in the day before, so happy with it.

12/3/2015 Speedo swim parka at a great price

By Sonya

We purchased this Speedo swim parka on swimoutlet.com for about $40 less than in our local swim store. My daughter finds it comfortable, roomy, and warm. Sometimes she even wears it around the house!

As far as sizing, I ordered a Medium for my 14-year-old daughter who is 5'6". The medium is roomy but not too big.

12/5/2016 Very nice parka and outstandingSwimOutlet customer service

By Great buy....go ahead and get it!

This swim parka is VERY well made....and I'm told very warm. We got the gray jacket with red lining and it is very unique in a sea of all black or blue swim parkas at swim meets. We got the adult medium for a 10 year old of average height/build. The jacket fits him like a long graduation robe in length "now"....but we hope to see him use it for years to come. We live in Texas so there aren't many days that are cold enough to use it....but it is indeed handy and well worth the investment when it is. We have received lots of compliments and questions on where we got the jacket. We had some unforeseen delays in shipping because we asked for some embroidery on the front.... but the folks at Swim Outlet went above and beyond to fix the issue. Will definitely be back and have recommended this vendor to many folks in our swim community. Before purchasing...we shopped around and considered several other jackets from several different retailers and ultimately....we made the correct choice.

By Arthur

Inside lining is warm and dries quickly (I just put it on a hangar inside-out), keeps the chill out perfectly. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars would be that I would like it if it had buttons in addition to the zipper. Sometimes it's freezing out and fumbling with the zipper takes a dozen extra seconds you would rather not waste. It is nice that the bottom of the zipper isn't fixed to the bottom.
I'm 5'10", 160 and got the Medium and it fits a little loose, but I think that's to be expected since it's a parka - not a fitted shirt.

11/8/2017 swim parka

By Barbara Walsh

Two way zipper is a problem, often gets caught up and we have to yank on it which is scary because we're afraid it will come off its track. Would have preferred just a one way zipper. Lining isn't as thick as we'd thought it would be. Font on monograms is way to small. Sleeve length seems out of proportion to the rest of the parka.

8/12/2016 Sharp looking parka

By Mel

Warm and sharp looking parka. We selected this parka to be our new team parka. The team loves how soft they feel and how warm them keep them on the pool deck.

9/4/2017 Great Quality Parka

By Swimmer

I ordered the speedo block parka around a year ago, in time for winter. I could not be more pleased with its performance. I put it on right after I finish swimming, and it warms me up quickly. The inside material does not feel clammy on the skin, even while I am wet. The pockets are perfectly placed, and are super warm and roomy for my hands and goggles. I am 5'4" and ordered the XS, and it comes up to just below my knees. Another advantage to this parka is that the outside is waterproof- so when it rains, the water just runs off. I would definitely recommend this product, it is well worth the investment.

10/21/2015 Soft and Warm

By Drew

Has a softer outer shell than most Parkas I have had. Very warm and comfortable inside.

12/1/2017 Great Coat

By Swim mom

Fits great, perfect for swim meets

10/17/2017 Great parka

By HH

Bought for 8 year old daughter that usually wears a size 8/10. Fits great with room to grow. It comes down just below her knees. Will be nice and warm.

3/13/2017 Amazing parka!

By SwimMomtoOne

Tall daughter and even XLG fits without being too wide

2/22/2017 Amazing Parka

By Tracy

Lightweight and efficiently keeps swimmer dry and warm at the same time! Colors are great and dries so quickly!

1/31/2017 the product was great once I got the correct size

By Karen

initial one was too small but the second order fit well, however I believe that my credit card number was stolen from this transaction and someone charged over $1000 with my number on-line but not on your site. When I go on to your site my computer states it is not secure and do I want to proceed. You may want to beef up your security measures since I am sure I am not the only one that had this problem. Your staff was very helpful whenever I called about getting another size.

12/20/2016 Warm Parka

By nwfdrool

My daughter really likes this parka. It is fleece lined and very warm for those early morning practices and swim meets. Especially during the winter season. She only suggests more pockets.

12/17/2016 parka

By tiffany

like the colors and its nice and warm for her after water polo

9/23/2020 smaller than what I thought

By Bao

This is a very nice parker for kids, I bought the adult size small per the size information. It is kind of short for my 11 year old 56" skinny boy for cold winter swim with outdoor pool. I would recommend a size up for kids to cover their legs as much as possible. The material is very nice and warm.

10/2/2019 Great Parka

By Swimmer

We bought it large for my son. He loves the parka.

9/25/2019 Super satisfied with this choice

By Ninoa

What I was missing in the reviews was experience of the inside of the parka. I received mine and I am so happy I chose this Parka after comparing lots of other parkas. The inside is super soft, comfortable and the parka quality overall is beyond expected. I haven't used it outside in the rain yet, but it is so comfortable that I would even wear it indoor. The zipper quality is great, the pockets are big and there's a big pocket on the inside on the left too with zipper. I don't use it for swimming, I use it for going to the gym and this would be perfect after gym, after sauna, going home when it's chilly or windy. I'm thinking about wearing it when I'm going to travel by plane. I love it!

9/3/2019 Really happy customer here!

By Amy G.

Our son is 6 1/2....48 inches tall...got him the XXS and I am sure it will fit him for the next 2-3 years.
Love the colors and it’s thick enough to keep him warm during his swim meets.
