Review on ๐Ÿงฅ Dryrobe Advance Long Sleeve Change Robe: Ultimate Waterproof Swim Parka for Swimming, Surfing, and OCR Events โ€“ Stay Warm and Dry by Mike Johnston

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A stunning, well-tailored monster swim parka that puts all other parkas to shame. I like that I can change with him!

This is a swim parka I MUST receive for the first time! It's amazing in the best sense: it's very warm and cozy for those chilly morning baths. In summer it can be too hot but I can always wear my Nike parka which is much lighter but then I lose the ability to change while wearing it. I can change clothes in it, which is amazing and very useful for a swim park (and obviously useful - why aren't all swim parks made that way?). I can say it is very well made and the zippers (often fail) feel solid and well made for years of use. This is a small detail, but it illustrates the thoughtfulness of these parks. It is very practical that the main zipper can be closed from both the inside and the outside of the parka. I love all the pockets, inside and out, although I'm a bit frustrated that the phone pocket is too small for my phone, but honestly it has more to do with the bulkiness of my phone with a monster battery case than the size of the phone pocket. The hood and long sleeves (compared to the short sleeve version) are also a plus in my opinion. This parka should be great after an early morning dip in cold open water, even in the summer! Make no mistake this parka is a beast, thick and heavy but also sturdy and well made oh and of course expensive. But as they say, you get what you pay for. Thank you DryRobe for such a quality product! I really appreciate finding products that are well made. It's easy to tell that they take pride in their products and pay attention to detail. For the record, I bought my DryRobe myself so this review is entirely independent in case you are interested. replied in the morning the next business day when I contacted them outside of business hours the day before. They immediately apologized for the lack of product and will send a replacement soon. They agreed to reimburse me for the cost of returning the defective parka, which turned out to be a bit more expensive than I expected. I FedEx the original defective parka on 5/30/2018 and emailed copies of the invoice. and shipping receipt. They assured me that the new parka should be shipped soon, hopefully today. I will update my rating as I make progress. lining. I have contacted DryRobe via Revain's email system and sent them a photo of the problem and will await their response before making any major changes to the review. I still think the bathrobe is great, but every manufacturer can have such small bugs. I really hope it's not a cause for concern and they find out soon. And in standby mode.
