Team Solid Parka

This parka is very warm - the reason I chose it over others, but unlike other Swim Parkas there is not enough room in the body of the jacket to allow me to zip it up while wrapped in a towel.I general jump out of the pool, wrap a towel around my body then throw on my parka and watch the rest of the meet, run to the locker room, or if time is tight, run to my car and head home. I expected an amount of space within the body of my parker to be big enough to allow me to have my swim towl wrapped around my body and for my parka to still fit fully zipped. This parka is much more form fitting = no room for towel.I am 5'8" 140 lb and order a unisex medium parka - my TYR parka is also a Medium and is extra roomy even with a towel wrapped around my torso fully zipped.

My husband is really heavy and wants to swim to get in shape. But, he doesn't want to use the changing room during the cold weather due to his mobility issues. So I was so excited to see this swim parka in a 3XL!! it was really tight in the shoulders and he couldn't even get the parka closed. He wears a 3XL in all of his other clothes and there's no way a 3XL in this parka is really a 3XL. The parka seems nice and would have worked for him if it had just been sized correctly. Still on the look out for a similar parka in an actual 3XL so he can get in the pool in the winter time. Hope I can find one before next winter.Hard to understand why companies don't make these in larger sizes. Swimming is an excellent exercise but when people have mobility issues, they are out of luck in cold weather!

We received this Parka today and it has no tags indicating it is brand new. The lined fleece has stains from previous owner. Previous owner's name (Kwon) is marked all over. I am returning this for a full refund.

This is one of the best parka I ever had :)
