Finally found the best Dive/Boat coat

I can't recommend this coat enough, the best that I have used.




For the Fall season, our shop is ordering one each for the staff in Royal Blue:

Surf-Fur Coat

What's so special about it, if I might ask? Do you have any more anecdotal evidence other than "it's the best that I have used?"

If I'm going to spend $109 on a jacket to keep me warm after diving I want to know a bit more.

I'm a big fan of the Chammyz. I can put it on soaking wet and not only does it keep me warm but it dries me off as well. Does not get that clammy feeling when wet.

I provided a link to answer any detailed questions; but I like that it's longer, has more heft, and is warmer than any other coat that I've used.

I read the link but I was looking for a 3rd party review rather than something from the manufacturer. Thanks Daniel, that's the kind of info i like. How cold have you used it / what sort of dives have you used it on?
