Adoretex Unisex Swim Parka Water Resistant Warm Coat Water Sports Swim Parka for Adults & Kids-PK005

These are very lightweight, much lighter than I thought they would be based on the reviews and descriptions. Additionally, the synthetic fabric has sort of a weird smell that off-gasses for a while after it's out of the bag. Normally, getting something like this that is less than the expectation, I would just take it back.However, the reason for the 1-star rating is that the company is a third party seller and doesn't accommodate any return shipping and the cost of the return ends up being about 20% of the cost of the product, which seems somewhat unreasonable - there's a handling fee well in excess of the shipping cost. That's not transparent in the description or even in the information when you request a return. After the return is processed, your refund is simply 80% of the cost of the product along with an after-the-fact e-mail describing both a shipping and handling fee.

UPDATE on Oct 30, 2019: after I submitted a refund/return request, the seller “sunwavesports” contacted me and offered free exchange to Adult Small. It fits very well with my 11-yr-old son (5ft tall). I also requested to see an actual parka picture. They did with a 5ft individual wearing it. The Adult size has longer length, which can cover the knees; however their youth size is still more like a jacket, see the attached images. Overall, I am happy with the shopping experience with the seller and raised my rating from 3-star to 5-star.Be careful with the inaccurate web picture. The web picture looks long and can reach knees. The actual parka has much shorter length. In fact it is more like a jacket. I uploaded the image below, and you can judge the length issue.Quick shipping from the vendor, and they did not give me a full refund.

I love this swim parka! I live in NJ. Before this parka, my walk back from the hot tub was frigid. Last night, I was in the hot tub for about an hour. It was 25 degrees outside. I waltzed back inside, cozy within my swim parka. It rocks. for the record, I weigh in at a chubby 260 lbs and am 5 ft 9 inches tall. My mom says I'm big-boned. I have the XXL which fits me divinely.

Product is great. There is a huge zippered pocket at the bottom of the jacket on the inside perfect for a towel even a big towel. This does run small. My son is 4'10" and 72lbs a adult small fit fine but opted for the adult medium so he would have growing room. After I have this all embroidered buying one every year or less isn't on my budget.I had to return the first one due to the size being to small. The seller was phenomenal and kind hearted. They 2 day returned shipped the replacement just so I would have it by Christmas all on their own. Big kudos to them💜

Not as thick and plush as other brands. My daughter did not feel that it would keep her warm enough. We didn't want to take the tags off and use it as this would make the return more difficult. We returned it in favor of another brand purchased locally.

i purchased two parkas, one for me and another for my 3 year old granddaughter (from a different vendor because none available in her size) for two reasons. One, was for swimming. Because of the pandemic, we continued to take lessons but instead of indoors, it had to be outdoors and no physical contact with the instructor. During the cold winter months, the water was warm, but the air was not. The parka was a life saver. I live in California and at at my tennis club, you have swimmers using the pool all year long. Most of the time the locker rooms were inaccessible because they were indoors. So we used the parkas leave the pool and go into the van and to to my home, a short distance from my house. Instead of driving home and getting the car seats wet, we were relatively dry and warm on the drive home.The other reason for the parka is because I have horses. During the winter, it is really cold in the mornings and certain days! The parka and its great length which covered my rear end and down to the top of my boots keep me warm and comfortable when I get my horses from the pasture and bring them in to the cross ties to clean and groom them before I ride and do other various related chores. I do find the zipper a bit difficult but that is because I have hand injury and it takes me longer to zip up and cold weather makes me feel like I have crab claws. I totally love this parka. If I were to go out in the snow I know it would keep me warm and dry. It also has great hood, perfect on windy days.While some may think it is pricey, I feel it totally worth the it. It keeps me warm, water does not seep out of the coat after swimming lessons. At the barn it keeps me warm on very cold days, takes a lot of abuse with dirt, mud, horse snot, etc and washes and dries well. I do not wear it when I ride but I have seen another rider do so comfortably.

We returned because the zipper is very difficult to use. Not sure if it was just the one we bought. But going to buy another brand. As far as size my son is 5 ft 5in and about a hundred twenty pounds in the adult medium was

This is great and my son loves it. It's warm and the inside is soft and snuggly, but it doesn't hold tight to water after getting out of the pool, which is great. I bought it for my 7-year old son. It's a little big, but not so big that he can't wear it. The banded wrists make it fit just right now. I love that he'll be able to wear it until his teen years - I'm a 5'6" woman and I can wear it too.

Swim parka for my sons competition. Very good quality and color choices were very good. Would buy again .

Happy with product
