Men's Pro Change EVO Swim Parka - Navy

Bought this to use before and after surfing when the temps drop in the Northeast. Had researched and looked at various other brands, and liked what I read and how it looked.

The Parka is very intelligently designed, with well thought out refined features. Stylish too. It arrived at the same time that temperatures dropped into the single digits and no surf. Been wearing it to run around town and it has kept me plenty warm even with the freezing temps and biting winds. Though I'm all about how a piece of gear actually performs, have to admit I also want it to look good too, and this certainly does with great style. Looking forward to trying it out when there's actually surf.

Sizing- I'm 6'1" and 220lbs, and went with the large after trying out the medium as well. On the sizing chart the differences seem minimal, but in reality it's smaller, especially in the sleeve length. Recommend sizing up as the site suggests if you are unsure.

Only reason for four stars is because when putting on the parka, the fleece tends to slide out and bunch at the wrists. It's easily pushed back in, but wondering if that will get more difficult when I'm wet. A very small complaint and even possibly just specific to me.

Also Tim in customer service is great and very helpful, and thoughtful in his responses.

Buy it, you'll be glad you did!

Love everything about the coat!

I am 5ft 8in so purchased the medium,

but I wish the sleeves were at least an inch longer, as I have long arms.

I want you to know that order is a replacement coat for my Hawaiian Blue EVO RED Parka that helped save my life! On Dec 27th I was walking in a parking lot and run over from behind by an SUV, it pinned my leg, knocking me to the ground, and ran over my back, left side to right. Multiple injuries, including 7 ribs and the sternum cracked. I believe that my Parka helped save my life - the paddling and the incredible material that was only torn in two spots, undoubtedly warded off more tissue contusions, and it helped keep me warm while waiting for the ambulance. I have had it repaired with lightning strike shaped bright yellow patches. I wear both, the new and the old, proudly.

I intend to get back to paddling and competing, and to run my canoe club this year.

I have pics on my cell phone if you would like.

GREAT product!

I did a lot of research before buying a changing robe and I loved the fact that this robe in particular was waterproof, windproof and plain black. Since arriving, I've used it twice and been impressed both times. I have compared it face to face with other black changing robes and the quality/ colour of mine is much better. Not only does it look way nicer (it's a much darker and more matte black), it's also softer inside and has more subtle branding. It's really warm and has dried out quickly both times, meaning I can continue wearing it when I'm dressed, after using it over my wet costume. It keeps surprising me with more pockets each time I use it which is always pleasant. I'd really recommend these changing robes, I'd wear mine all day if I could!

Absolutely brilliant I love these changing robes, very well made warm and very soft lined, the best I have ever come across, cannot fault the robe in any way. Bought large and extra large.
