    Dive Coat?

    Are they all 100+ dollars? Where online is it less?

    Mods, feel free to move post if there's a better place for it.(not that you need my permission)
    Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
    Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat
    and drink beer all day. :mooner:

    here's an example

    sometimes it's called a boat coat.

    I just bought 2 of these Boat Coat . Not quite as long as most, but that works well for me. They seem nice and warn, and the price is RIGHT!
    Lighten up Francis.

    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!
    Hold my beer and watch this- Trust me, I know what I'm doing!

    I have used the truwest coat for a number of years and find it quite reliable.

    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.
