I’ve read that the stitching at the hand pockets tears, that can be resewn. I am wanting to read about its usefulness. Can I sit and reach down to my feet, can I use toilet easily? Does it pack into the tiny gym lockers, Wash & dry well, Will the outer lining melt if I dry it? With the lining unattached to the outer lining- does this become a wrinkly mess, or does it perform & hold up well to all? Not expecting a genuine deep freeze PARKA, it’s to keep body temp at even rate to quickly do a job. But for the price it should be your best friend at the pool & pool locker!

I purchased this for my daughter to use for high school swim team. The lining is very cozy and warm, and the parka fits well.  I would be happy with the parka except for the quality.  Unfortunately, the parka tore near the seam of the pocket outside of the return window. For the cost, I was very disappointed in the quality.  The outer fabric feels more like a windbreaker and seems prone to tear easily. Much less durable than a typical coat. 

I use it over my swimsuit to and from the pool. Due to covid, the locker rooms have been closed so this jacket is just the ticket to keep me warm in the winter both when my suit is dry and wet!

This was ordered for me as a Christmas gift. The pocket ripped down the side the first time I wore it. Speedo replaced that one and the same thing happened to the second one. The stitching is cheaply done and definitely not the speedo quality I'm used too.

I bought the Team parka first, which is not warm enough during winter time in our door swimming pool. Particular now, there is no access to the locker room during the pandemic. I found this one, and bought it during promotion. It really keep me warm, and roomy enough for changing after swimming. Highly recommended.
