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:

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?

Sur-Fur Coat

I used this on several open water boat dives at night in the Keys in January and it was amazing. They had a cold winter down there.
The laminated wind barrier is what makes this thing so warm and windproof.
The coup de grace was this past weekend at Dutch Springs. We were doing our open water tech dives (water temp 41 degrees)and the wind was gusting to 45-50 mph.(wind chill mid 30's) Between dives, I thru this coat on right over my drysuit and I was warm as toast. My buddies want one now!
The changing pockets are also a hugh plus!
