I found a terrycloth version, no zip- pancho style on ebay for about $15 a few months ago, can't remember the sellers ID tho. Not really a coat, but great for changing on the beach!
As others have pointed out, you can get cheap "Boat Coat"-style long jackets with a little bit of searching. Try searching under "stadium jackets" or swimming jackets.
The Dive Gear Boat Coat is pretty nice, though. This past year they made some significant improvements to the design that you may or may find on other coats. For instance, the velco wrist closures are now backed with nylon.
BTW, my girlfriend and I each bought a Dive Gear Boat Coat and are very happy with them.
